Easy Sugar Cookie Recipe-only 3 ingredients!

There are only 4 super simple steps.

      •  Make the dough: beat together butter, sugar, and flour until blended.

• Form the cookies: form the dough into 1-inch balls. Roll the balls in sugar, then flatten them with a glass or measuring cup.
• Bake: until just barely golden around the edges and bottom.
• Rest: let rest and cool for at least 10 minutes before eating.

 

 

Ingredients

 

• 1 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)

• 2/3 cup (and) 3 tablespoons granulated sugar

• 2 cups + 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled

   (Optional add-ons)

• 1 Teaspoon Vanilla (suggested)

• Rainbow Sprinkles (Because they look pretty and are delicious!)

 

Instructions

 

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees

 

2. Line 2 large baking trays with parchment paper.

 

3. In a medium bowl - Beat together butter and 2/3 cup sugar until combined. Using a hand mixer is fine. It will be a little bit gritty and that is ok. REMEMBER you will still have 3 tablespoons of sugar left over.

 

4. Add the flour (and Vanilla if desired) and mix well.

 

5. Scoop the dough into 1-inch balls.

 

6. Gently roll each ball in the remaining leftover 3 tablespoons of sugar and place it on a baking tray 2 inches apart from each other.

 

7. With the bottom of a glass press down on each of the balls to form cookie shapes. They should be about l/4 inch think. (They will get bigger/wider as they cook).

 

8. If using Rainbow sprinkles, sprinkle each cookie and slightly press on them.

 

9. Bake for 14-16 minutes. The edges should get very slightly golden brown.

 

10. Remove from the oven and let them cool (rest) for about 10 minutes.

 

Eat and Enjoy!
