No Chill Sugar Cookies
The perfect no chill sugar cookie dough for quick and easy cut-out cookies that hold their shape and never spread!
Servings: 3 -4 dozen
Equipment
- parchment paper
Ingredients
- 1 cup salted butter, at room temperature
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 Tbsp vanilla
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- assorted sprinkles and colored sugar for decorating
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350F and line baking sheets with parchment paper (the paper keeps the bottom of the cookies from browning too much.)
- Cream the 1 cup salted butter and 1 cup sugar together until well combined, Scrape down bowl as needed to get all the butter blended in.
- Beat in the 1 large egg and 1 Tbsp vanilla and scrape down bowl again.
- Toss the 3 cups all-purpose flour with the 2 tsp baking powder and blend that in with your mixer on low just until the dough comes together in a rough lump.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and bring together with your hands and divide in two equal parts. pat each into a flat disk. Working with one piece at a time roll out to 1/4-1/3 inch thick. Dust with flour if necessary, and be sure to shift the dough often on the board to keep it free from sticking.
- Cut out your cookies and place them 2 inches apart on your parchment lined cookie sheet. The cookies will not spread, but giving them space helps them cook evenly. If you are using sprinkles or colored sugar decorations you can add them now.
- Bake for 8-12 minutes, depending on the size and thickness of your cookies. Everyone's oven is different so this is only a suggestion. I recommend doing a test cookie or two to determine your baking time. The cookies will be firm and still pale on top while just barely starting to turn golden on the underside.
- Let the cookies cool for a couple of minutes on the pan before transferring to a rack to cool completely.
Notes
The baked cookies will last at room temperature for up to 5 days. The cookies can be frozen for up to 3 months.
