Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract until combined.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until the dough comes together. Avoid overmixing.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Roll each ball in the extra granulated sugar to coat.
Place the sugar-coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Use the bottom of a glass to gently press down on each dough ball to flatten slightly.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are just beginning to turn golden.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your Easy Old Fashioned Sugar Cookies with a glass of milk or a cup of tea!
