Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 1 unit large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the large egg and pure vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, beating until well combined.
In another 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 just combined. The dough will be slightly sticky.
Add the milk and mix until the dough holds together. If the dough is too dry, you can add a few more drops of milk.
Flatten the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to make it easier to handle.
Once the dough is chilled, lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness.
Using alphabet cookie cutters, cut out letters and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1 inch of space between each cookie.
Re-roll any scraps of dough and continue cutting out letters until all dough is used.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to turn golden.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your soy-free alphabet cookies plain, or decorate them with icing as desired.
