No Roll Sugar Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks, 16 tablespoons) butter, softened to cool room temperature
- 1 1/3 cups (10 ounces) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups (12 1/2 ounces) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350.. Line two large, rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper and lightly grease with cooking spray.
- In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or in a large bowl with a handheld electric mixer, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until lightly and fluffy, 3-4 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Add the egg and vanilla and mix again for 1-2 minutes until the batter lightens in color. Scrape the sides of the bowl as needed.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until combined.
- Scoop the cookie dough into rounded balls (about 2 tablespoons in size) roll in granulated sugar or sprinkles and place on the prepared baking sheets a couple inches apart.
- Bake for 11-13 minutes until slightly crackly on top (but not much color around the edges or bottom to keep them soft and chewy).
- Let the cookies cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before removing to a cooling rack to cool completely.
