Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- Optional: Colored sugar or sprinkles for decoration
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, ensuring the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until combined. Do not overmix.
Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight) to make it easier to handle.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
If desired, flatten each ball slightly with the bottom of a glass and sprinkle with colored sugar or sprinkles for decoration.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are just lightly golden. Do not overbake for a softer texture.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy Grandpa's Delicious Sugar Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
