How to Make No Spread Sugar Cookies
How to Make No Spread Sugar Cookies
Full Recipe:
I used to get SO FRUSTRATED by sugar cookies that turned into big blobs when baking. All that time basically wasted becasue if your maple leaf, christmas tree, or snowflake looks like some sad puddle, what's the point??!
This recipe changed everything! You're basically trading out some flour for coren starch and the result is magical.✨No spreading and teh taste is great! I do chill my dough for ease of handling and cutting but it doesn't turn into a soupy mess at room temperature, which is great. ????
I've decorated these cookies in so many different ways. Dipping them in chocolate, piping buttercream roses and orchids on tip and even laminating different colors together to get striped cookies! If you have any questions leave a comment below!

Ingredients
Sugar Cookies
1 cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature (226g)
1 cup sugar (200g)
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract²
1 large egg
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (315g)
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
Sugar Cookie Frosting
3 cups powdered sugar, sifted (375g)
3-4 Tablespoons milk
2 Tablespoons light corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Gel food coloring optional
Additional candies and sprinkles for decorating optional
Instructions
Sugar Cookies
00:00 Introduction
00:22 Combine butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer (or in a large bowl and use an electric hand mixer) and beat until creamy and well-combined.
Add egg and vanilla extract and beat until completely combined.
00:54 In a separate, medium-sized bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
01:11 Gradually add dry ingredients into wet until completely combined.
01:46 Lay out a large piece of plastic wrap and transfer approximately half of the dough onto the wrap (dough will be quite sticky at this point, that's OK!).
Cover with clear wrap and mold into a disk. Repeat with remaining cookie dough in another piece of cling wrap. Transfer dough to refrigerator and chill for at least 2-3 hours3
02:25 Once dough has finished chilling, preheat oven to 350F (175C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
Generously dust a clean surface with flour and deposit one chilled cookie dough disk onto the surface. Lightly flour the dough and roll out to 1/8 (for thinner, crispier cookies) or 1/4 (for thicker, softer cookies). Continue to add flour as needed both on top of and beneath the dough so that it doesn't stick.
03:13 Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes and use a spatula to transfer shapes to prepared baking sheet.4
Bake on 350F (175C) for 9-10 minutes5, or until edges just begin to turn lightly golden brown.
Allow cookies to cool completely on cookie sheet before moving and frosting.
Sugar Cookie Frosting
05:06 Combine sugar, 2 Tablespoons of milk, corn syrup, and vanilla extract in a medium-sized bowl and stir until combined. If frosting is too thick, add more milk, about a teaspoon at a time, until the frosting is thick but pipeable. If you accidentally add too much milk, add powdered sugar until desired texture is reached.
If coloring the frosting, divide into bowls and color as desired at this point.
07:23 Transfer frosting to a piping bag with a piping tip (I used Wilton 5), or place in a Ziploc bag and snip a small piece of the corner off (not as neat, but this will still work, just take care that the frosting isn’t so thick that it breaks open the seam of the bag when you are squeezing).
07:47 Pipe frosting on cookies and decorate with decorative candies, if desired.
Allow frosting to harden before enjoying (this took several hours for me and may vary for you depending on the consistency of your frosting)
Keep uneaten cookies sealed in an airtight container at room temperature.

How to make Sugar Cookies!
Sorry I haven't been posting as much, life is very busy with 3 kids these days. Thanks for watching!
Not the Best but Best is my name ;)
Sugar Cookie Recipe:
Ingredients
1 cup of softened unsalted butter (227 grams)
1 and 1/2 cups of sugar (300 grams)
2 eggs room temperature
2 teaspoons of pure vanilla extract
3 and 1/2 cups of all purpose flour (450 grams)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Method
1. In a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy
2. Add the eggs one at a time. Beating each time until just combined
3. Add vanilla extract and beat until combined
4. Mix baking powder, salt and flour.
5. Add flour mixture to butter mixture about 1/2 cup a time.
6. Turn mixer back on, and mix until everything is combined. Once your mixer can’t do anymore, mix with your hands until you have a smooth dough if needed.
7. Separate dough quarters and wrap each quarter in plastic wrap. You want each quarter to resemble a pancake for easy rolling.
8. Refrigerate for about one hour or until firm enough to roll.
9. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C) and place rack in center of oven. Line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
10. Remove one quarter of the chilled dough and, on a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/2cm using a floured rolling pin. Keep turning the dough as you roll, adding more flour if needed, making sure the dough does not stick to the counter.
11. Cut out desired shapes using a lightly floured cookie cutter and transfer cookies to baking sheet.
12. Place the baking sheets with the unbaked cookies in the refrigerator for a minimum of 15 minutes. This will help cookies retain their shape while baking. (I like to do an hour for more complicated shapes).
13. Bake for 10minutes. (Could be anywhere from 8-14minutes). It depends on the size of your cookie and your cookie sheet or even your oven! For smaller cookies I would start checking at 8 min. Cookies will be done when edges are just starting to brown.
14. Remove from oven and let cookies cool on baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling.
15. Once cooled, frost with royal icing.
