My kids will be the first to say that this recipe makes the Best Sugar Cookie you will ever bake and with the additional bonus of making 30 cookies, you can be sure that there will be enough to go around.
These sugar cookies are just the perfect amount of sugar burst that you’re looking for with an extra sugary-batter dough and coated in sugar before baking. A real sweet treat!
To make Best Sugar Cookie, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 350 °F and line baking sheets with baking parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine 2¾ cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, ½ teaspoon of baking powder and ½ teaspoon of salt.
In a separate mixing bowl, using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat 1 cup of butter with 1 cup + 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add 1 large egg and mix again until completely combined.
Stir in 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract until combined.
Add the dry ingredients and mix until just combined without over mixing. The cookie dough should be thick and not sticky. Form into a smooth ball.
Roll about 1½ tablespoon portions of dough into small balls and coat in sprinkles of sugar. Place on the lined baking sheet leaving a bit of space between each cookie as they will spread out when baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 7-8 minutes until spread out and soft. Do not over bake and remove before the edges turn golden.
Cool on baking sheets for about 4-5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

These sugar cookies are just fabulous! My kids love helping me bake them, and they always come out perfect. We made them for a school bake sale, and they vanished in minutes. Highly recommend this recipe!
I made these sugar cookies for a gathering, and they disappeared fast. So good.
I wouldn't say they are the best I kinda like the super soft sugar cookies from walmart instead.
What can I do if I don't have any baking soda is there a big difference between baking soda and powder or can I just add more baking powder in its place?
If anyone wanted to make a fast glaze some powdered sugar, 1 tsp of lemon and 1/2 of milk will do the trick, will be super sweet though so if you don't have a sweet tooth I don't recommend it.
If you replaced the vanilla extract with sugar it'll leave a better vanilla taste/ have a better effect on these.
Add a bit of lemon zest if you want it to be the best.
