These classic cutout sugar cookies hold their shape perfectly in the oven—no puffing up, spreading, or losing their sharp edges. They are crisp on the edges, soft in the center, and ready for all your favorite icing and sprinkles! Ingredients: - 2 cups all-purpose flour (240g) - ½ tsp salt (2g) - ½ tsp baking powder (1.5g) - ½ cup unsalted butter, softened (113g) - ½ cup granulated sugar (100g) - 1 large egg - 1 tsp vanilla extract (4g) Steps: 1. Whisk flour, salt, and baking powder. 2. Beat butter and sugar until fluffy (2 min). 3. Mix in egg and vanilla. 4. Add dry ingredients gradually; mix into dough. 5. Divide dough, shape into disks, wrap, and chill 2+ hours (up to 2 days). - If chilled over 2 hours, let sit 15–30 min at room temp before rolling. 6. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). 7. Roll dough ¼” thick. Cut with 2½” cutters. Re-roll scraps. 8. Place 1” apart on parchment-lined sheets. Bake 10–12 min until edges are golden. 9. Cool briefly on pan, then transfer to rack. Decorate if desired. ✨ Baker’s Tip: To keep your cutouts looking sharp, make sure your dough is chilled before cutting out your shapes, and pop the cut cookies back into the freezer for 5-10 minutes right before they go into the oven! #SugarCookies #HolidayBaking #christmascookies #holidaydesserts #sweettreats - @2days.delights
