THE BEST ROLLED SUGAR COOKIES



The Best Rolled Sugar Cookies image

I had these at a friend's little girl's birthday party. I don't normally rave about a cookie. And, it takes a special dessert to get my attention. These cookies were amazing. I like my cookies soft. This fit the bill. Plus, they decorated beautifuly. They reminded me of the look of a Cookie Bouquet cookie with a lot better taste. The icing is Wilton's buttercream icing. A thin layer of this made for an amazing cookie.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cup sugar
1 cup salted butter, room temperature (real butter only - no substitutes)
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
4 1/2 - 5 1/2 cups All-Purpose flour (Start with 4 1/2 cups. If dough is super sticky, add more 1/4 cup at a time until just a hint of stickyness. This will greatly depend on your altitude and humidity level)
Powdered Sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400*F''
  • Prepare 2 baking sheets and set aside. This can be done by greasing them with butter or Crisco, non-stick spray, parchment paper, non-stick foil or a baking mat. Whatever your preferred method is.
  • Cream together sugar and butter for 3 minutes or until fluffy.
  • Add eggs and mix again.
  • Add salt, and baking powder. Blend.
  • Add 1/4 cup buttermilk, vanilla and almond extract. Blend.
  • Add 2 1/2 cups flour (1/2 cup at a time).
  • Add remaining 1/4 cup buttermilk.
  • Then remaining flour (for a total of 4 1/2 cups). Batter should be smooth, elastic like and slightly sticky. If too sticky, add more flour a little at a time (up to 1 cup - be careful to not put TOO much flour in the dough).
  • When ready to roll out, sprinkle surface with powdered sugar, not flour. These are SUGAR cookies. Roll them out in sugar! Roll to 1/4 in thickness.
  • Cut out with favorite shape and transfer to prepared pan.
  • Bake 10 minutes. Watch carefully as every oven bakes differently. You want the cookies to be a hint of golden under them, not dark golden. Edges should not start to show golden, you'll have to gently flip a cookie to see for sure.
  • Allow cookies to cool completely then frost.

These sugar cookies are amazing but I wanted to try to cut some calories so I replaced some of the sugar with a sugar-like sweetener. They still taste great and now they are pretty guilt free. If you decide to ice them, I would keep it light -- maybe some cute dots!
