Easy Cut Out Sugar Cookies | Just 5 INGREDIENTS! | No Spread Sugar Cookie Recipe
Easy No Spread Cut Out Sugar Cookies | Just 5 INGREDIENTS!
:: Cook Me Food ::
These sugar cookies are buttery and tender-crisp. They are made for cutting out into shapes as they hold their shape very well when baking. The dough is super easy to roll out and cut – and you only need just 5 basic ingredients. The cookies won’t puff up, so they are perfect for icing and decorating as you please. They are wonderful to serve plain too. NO SPREAD. NO PUFF. JUST 5 INGREDIENTS!
You'll need:
• 1 cup (225g) salted butter (room temperature)
• 1 1/2 cup (180g) powdered sugar/icing sugar
• 1 large egg (room temperature)
• 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 3 1/4 cup (422g) all-purpose flour
Cool completely. Serve. Enjoy!
:: HELPFUL HINTS ::
* Number of cookies will depend on cut out size and how thick you roll your dough. For thinner cookies, roll out your dough to 1/8 and 1/4 for thicker cookies.
* Bake thinner or smaller cookies for 8-10 minutes.
* Measure your flour correctly. Adding too much flour will result to crumbly texture or sandy taste when baked. Fluff the flour in the container before scooping it out. Lightly spoon the flour directly into the measuring cup until it mounds well above the top of the measuring cup. Using the back of the dinner knife (non-serrated side is facing the flour), sweep the knife over the top of the cup to remove the excess flour.
* Let your cookies cool completely before frosting them. If they are not cool, the icing will melt.

Cookie decorating tips: how to create defined sections with royal icing
????When I want there to be a clear separation between sections on a cookie, I will flood one part and place it in front of a fan to dry for at least 20 minutes before moving on. In this case, I did not have time to do that. I knew I was going to re-outline sections at the end, but regardless, I still wanted there to be natural definition in this design. So, how does an impatient cookier create dimension on a cookie?
Here are my tips:
1) Use a thicker flood. Using a flood that requires a little bit more effort to settle into place will be your best friend in this situation. You have a lot less control over where the icing goes and where it settles when your icing is very thin.
2) Try piping an additional or thicker line with your outline consistency in between sections.
3) After flooding one section, start flooding on the opposite end of a cookie and work your way in. The more time you allow previous sections to dry, the more definition you will end up with. Royal icing starts to crust over quickly, so even an extra minute of drying time helps.
4) Apply less pressure to your piping bag as you approach the line where the two sections connect or avoid flooding right up against the line. Use your scribe tool to carefully and lightly drag your icing up against it.
I hope this helps! Happy decorating ????????
