Betty Crocker's Sugar Cookies image

I have been making these cookies every year for Christmas since I was in high school!! I roll them really thin so they are crispy, not soft/chewy and only add sprinkles. This recipe is for a double batch, but can easily be divided. **Chilling dough not included in prep time**

Time 1h

Yield 6-7 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups butter, softened
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
5 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons salt
colored sprinkles, for decoration

Steps:

  • Cream together butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla.
  • In a separate bowl combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Gradually mix dry ingredients into the butter/sugar mixture and stir until incorporated (can be done by hand, but I use a stand mixer).
  • Cover with plastic wrap and let chill in fridge until cold (approx. 1 hour).
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Roll out approximately 1 1/2-2 cups of dough at a time (or whatever amount you have room for on your workspace).
  • Cut cookies with seasonal cookie cutters.
  • Place cookies on parchment-lined cookie sheets for easy clean up.
  • Sprinkle with colored sugar sprinkles.
  • Bake 6-8 minutes or until edges turn golden brown.
  • Cool on wire rack and store at room temperature in an air-tight container.
