These sugar cookies are a huge hit in our house. In our Indian household, we don't buy cookies from the store very often. So instead, I make them at home so we can enjoy cookies that are less sugary and homemade with love.
Today I will be sharing my favorite chewy sugar cookie recipe.
Ingredients:
2 3/4 cup flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup + 2 tbs granulated sugar
2 tbsp light brown sugar
1 large egg
2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2.Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt and set aside.
3. Cream the butter and sugars together until light in color and fluffy.
4. Add the egg and mix.
5. Add the vanilla extract and mix.
6. Add the dry ingredients to the creamed sugar and egg mix and mix until the dough is combined. It will be thick. Combine into a big ball
7. Create small sized balls of cookie dough. Then roll each ball in the additional sugar to coat (optional) . Place the balls on the parchment paper lined baking sheet.
8. Bake cookies for 7-8 minutes. The centers WILL look soft. Don’t over bake.
9. Remove from the oven and let them cool on baking sheets for 4-5 minutes.
Hope you enjoy!!
