Chewy Sugar Cookies Recipe
These sugar cookies are soft in the middle with slightly crispy edges. The combination of ingredients creates a beautiful balance of flavors that everyone will love. Follow the steps below, and you’ll have a batch of cookies that will make your friends and family smile!
Ingredients
- 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup granulated sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mix, and continue to blend until well combined.
- Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, just until everything is incorporated. Be careful not to overmix!
- Using your hands or a cookie scoop, form small balls of dough and roll them in granulated sugar.
- Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart as they will spread while baking.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden, and the centers look slightly underbaked. They will continue to cook after removing from the oven.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
