Chipless Sugar Cookies
Chipless Sugar Cookies are a sugar cookies treat with a soft, sweet bite and versatile charm. This easy recipe is ideal for any occasion, from holidays to everyday snacks.
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups 300 g all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- 1 cup 225 g unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup 200 g granulated sugar
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup 50 g coarse sugar (optional, for rolling)
Instructions
Prep Ingredients
- I bring 1 cup butter and 1 egg to room temperature for smooth mixing in this sugar cookies treat.
Mix Dry Ingredients
- In a medium bowl, I whisk 2 ½ cups flour, 1 tsp baking powder, and ½ tsp salt for this easy recipe.
Cream Butter and Sugar
- I beat 1 cup butter and 1 cup sugar with a mixer until fluffy, about 3–5 minutes, for this sweet treats dish.
Add Wet Ingredients
- I mix in 1 egg and 2 tsp vanilla until smooth for this sugar cookies treat.
Combine Mixtures
- I gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet, mixing until just combined to avoid tough cookies in this easy recipe.
Chill Dough (Optional)
- I chill the dough for 30 minutes for easier shaping and less spreading in this sweet treats dish.
Shape and Bake
- I preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment. I roll dough into 1-inch balls, optionally roll in ¼ cup coarse sugar, and place 2 inches apart. I bake for 8–10 minutes until edges are lightly golden for this Chipless Sugar Cookies.
Cool
- I cool cookies on the baking sheet for 3 minutes, then transfer to a rack for this easy recipe.
Notes
- Use room temperature butter and egg for a smooth, uniform dough.
- Chilling the dough helps control spreading and improves texture.
- Measure flour correctly by spooning into the cup and leveling off to avoid dry cookies.
- Use pure vanilla extract for the best flavor.
- Bake on parchment paper or silicone baking mats for even baking and easy removal.
