Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 226 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 260 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 30 grams granulated sugar (for sprinkling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar using a handheld or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until fully combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure your cookies stay tender.
Using a teaspoon or small cookie scoop, portion out the dough into small balls (about 15 grams each) and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 5 cm (2 inches) apart.
Using the bottom of a glass or a flat spatula, gently press each cookie dough ball to flatten slightly.
Sprinkle the flattened cookie dough with granulated sugar to add extra crispiness and sweetness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Keep a close eye on them as they can quickly overbake.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Enjoy your crispy and delicious Agnes Sugar Cookies!
