Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 0.25 cups Powdered sugar (for optional dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract and milk until combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
Using a cookie scoop or two spoons, drop 2-tablespoon-sized dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Gently press each ball lightly with your fingers or the back of a spoon to create a slightly flattened shape.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and slightly golden. The centers may still look soft—that’s okay!
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
If desired, dust the cooled cookies with powdered sugar for a decorative and sweet finishing touch.
Serve and enjoy your delicious Big White Soft Sugar Cookies!
