Sugar Cookies
Cut out cookie recipe for the holidays!
Servings: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter unsalted, softened
- 2/3 cup sugar 130 g
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 ½ cup flour 300 g
Instructions
- Cream together (with a hand or stand mixer, can be done by hand but it is a lot of work) butter and sugar until thoroughly combined (no need to beat until light and fluffy)
- Add one egg, vanilla, and salt. Mix until combined
- Add cornstarch and flour and combine until a dough forms and no flour remains
- Transfer half of this dough onto a piece of plastic wrap, loosely wrap in plastic wrap and use a rolling pin to roll this dough out into the plastic wrap. (Do not roll thinner than you want your cookies to be) Repeat with other half of the dough
- Place disks into the fridge for AT LEAST 2 hours or overnight
- Remove from fridge and let warm for 10-15 minutes on the counter before trying to roll and cut (I recommend ¼ inch thick cookies that are around 3")
- Bake in a 350℉ oven for 8-10 minutes or until the centers of the cookies look matte.
