Description:
These Roll-Out Cookies are my go-to recipe for using cookie cutters. The best part? There’s no need to chill the dough, making this a quick and easy treat to whip up whenever a craving strikes!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). |
| 2 | In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. |
| 3 | Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined. |
| 4 | In a separate bowl, mix together the flour and baking powder. |
| 5 | Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, 1 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. |
| 6 | For the last 3/4 cup of flour, you may need to incorporate it by hand as the dough becomes stiff. |
| 7 | Divide the dough into 2 equal balls. |
| 8 | On a floured surface, roll out each ball of dough to a thickness of 1/8 inch. |
| 9 | Use your favorite cookie cutters to cut out shapes from the dough. |
| 10 | Place the cut-out cookies onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper. |
| 11 | Bake in the preheated oven for 6-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned. |
| 12 | Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. |
| 13 | Once cooled, decorate the cookies as desired, or simply enjoy them as is! |
Tips:
- If you prefer softer cookies, aim for a shorter baking time, around 6-8 minutes.
- For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of salt to the dough or sprinkle some colored sugar on top before baking.
- These cookies are perfect for any occasion! Decorate them with icing, sprinkles, or leave them plain for a classic treat.
