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.
