Softest Sugar Cookies

The Softest Sugar Cookies are the epitome of sweetness and texture, incredibly soft, buttery, and melt in your mouth with each bite.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 24 cookies 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Mix together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Cream together the softened butter and sugar until smooth and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Gradually blend in the dry mixture until fully incorporated.
  6. Roll rounded tablespoonfuls of the dough into balls, and place them onto ungreased cookie sheets.
  7. Slightly flatten each ball using the bottom of a glass for a uniform shape.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are golden.
  9. Let the cookies cool on wire racks before serving.

Notes

Ensure your butter is at room temperature for easier creaming. Refrigerating the dough for 20-30 minutes before baking can enhance the flavor.
