Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups white sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that the cookies will bake evenly and achieve a nice golden color.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 3/4 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, and 3/4 teaspoon of salt. This combination of dry ingredients will provide the right structure and leavening for your cookies.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup of softened unsalted butter and 1 1/2 cups of white sugar. Use an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, which should take about 3-5 minutes.
- Add 1 egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture. Beat until well combined, ensuring the egg is fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cookies tough.
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
- Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked, but they will firm up as the cookies cool.
- Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool completely.
- Once cooled, you can enjoy your Dusty Bones Sugar Cookies as is, or decorate them with icing or sprinkles for a festive touch!
Tips
- • Ensure your butter is truly softened but not melted - room temperature is key for that perfect cookie texture. • Don't overmix the dough, as this can make your cookies tough instead of tender. • Use a cookie scoop for uniform size and even baking. • Let cookies cool completely before storing to maintain their crisp edges. • For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of cinnamon or almond extract to the dough. • Store in an airtight container to keep them fresh for up to a week. • For a festive touch, consider decorating with royal icing or colored sugar sprinkles.
