SUGAR COOKIE RECIPE

SUGAR COOKIE RECIPE

Makes approximately 36 cookies

Ingredients:
  • 2 cups Butter
  • 2 cups White Sugar
  • 2 tbsp Vanilla essence
  • 2 Eggs
  • 4 tsp Baking Powder
  • 6 cups Flour 
Method:

  1. Add the 2 cups of butter and 2 cups of white sugar to your mixer/ mixing bowl.

  2. Cream the butter and sugar until it is completely mixed.

  3. Add 2 tablespoons of vanilla essence and 2 eggs.

  4. Mix the cookie dough until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes).

  5. Add 4 teaspoons of baking powder and mix.

  6. Mix in the 6 cups of flour, two cups at a time. Don’t overmix the dough when you are adding the dry ingredients, only until the flour is incorporated into the dough.

  7. If the dough seems on the drier side, add a bit of vanilla or milk and mix again. You do not need to chill this dough before cutting out the cookies.

  8. Roll a handful of the dough out on a prepared surface.

  9. Cut out shapes with cookie cutters.

  10. Bake in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 6-10 minutes depending on the size of the cookie cutter you used.

  11. Do not over-bake! If you make your cookies on the thicker side you should cook them for 9-10 minutes.
