The Best Sugar Cookie Recipe
Sugar Cookie Recipe for everyday or holiday cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp almond extract this makes the cookies!
- dash salt
- 3/1-2 cups flour You can substitute gluten free flour. I use cup-4-cup
Instructions
Step 1
- Cream the softened butter, eggs, sugar, vanilla and almond extract together.
- Next, add the flour, starting with 3-cups and adding more as needed to make dough sticky. Blend Well.
- Refrigerate the dough for 1-hour or overnight.
Step 2
- After the dough has set, roll it out and use your favorite cookie cutters to cut out the dough.
Step 3
- Bake at 350 degrees for roughly 8-14 minutes. I usually start the first batch at 8 minutes and see how much additional time is needed. Depending on your altitude, oven, etc., you may need a little more or less time. I usually end up baking each batch for roughly 11 minutes.
- Cool before decorating with your favorite frosting.
