Prep Time: 8 minutes โฑ๏ธ
Total Time: 17 minutes โฑ๏ธ
Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 1/2 | powdered sugar |
| 1 | stick of butter |
| 1 | stick of margarine |
| 1/2 | teaspoon vanilla extract |
| 1 | egg |
| 2 1/2 | cups all-purpose flour |
| 1 | teaspoon baking soda |
| 1 | teaspoon cream of tartar |
Instructions:
-
Cream Butter and Sugars:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the powdered sugar, butter, and margarine until smooth and well combined.
-
Add Flavorings:
- To the creamed mixture, add the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract (if using). Mix until fully incorporated.
-
Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and cream of tartar. Gradually add the dry mixture to the creamed mixture, stirring until a smooth dough forms.
-
Chill Dough (Optional):
- If time permits, cover the dough and chill it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. Chilling the dough can help prevent the cookies from spreading too much while baking and can enhance their flavor.
-
Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC) while the dough is chilling.
-
Shape Cookies:
- Once chilled (if applicable), use a cookie scoop or spoon to portion the dough into balls. Place the dough balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
-
Bake:
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 6 to 9 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Be careful not to overbake, as you want the cookies to remain soft and chewy.
-
Cool and Enjoy:
- Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, these Wonderful Sugar Cookies are ready to be enjoyed!
These Wonderful Sugar Cookies are perfect for sharing with loved ones or enjoying on your own with a glass of milk or a cup of tea. Theyโre simple to make and always a hit at parties, bake sales, or any time youโre craving a delicious homemade treat. Enjoy! ๐ช๐
