HOW TO MAKE THE BEST SUGAR COOKIES RECIPE BY TASTY



How to Make the Best Sugar Cookies Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: unsalted butter, granulated sugar, cream cheese, large egg, large egg yolks, McCormick® vanilla extract, McCormick® almond extract, kosher salt, all purpose flour, baking powder, cream of tartar, powdered sugar, kosher salt, vanilla extract, gel food coloring, water, pasteurized egg white

Provided by Scott Loitsch

Categories     Desserts

Yield 12 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 17

24 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
3 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
1 large egg
2 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon McCormick® vanilla extract
½ teaspoon McCormick® almond extract
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3 ½ cups all purpose flour, plus more for dusting
½ teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
4 cups powdered sugar
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
gel food coloring, of your choice
water, as needed
¼ cup pasteurized egg white

Steps:

  • Make the cookie dough: In a large bowl, cream together the butter, sugar, and cream cheese with an electric hand mixer on high speed for about 5 minutes, until fluffy and the sugar is mostly dissolved. Scrape down the bowl as needed to evenly beat the mixture.
  • Add the egg, egg yolks, vanilla, and almond extract and mix well, scraping down the sides of the bowl.
  • Add the salt, then sift the flour, baking powder, and cream of tartar into the bowl and fold to incorporate some of the flour. Then beat on low speed, just until incorporated and the dough comes together.
  • Shape the dough into a flat disc and wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or up to 3-4 days.
  • When ready to bake the cookies, preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Remove the dough from the fridge and let sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out the cookie dough with a rolling pin to ¼-inch (6mm) thick.
  • Dip cookie cutters of your choice in some extra flour and cut out shapes from the dough. Gather any excess dough into a ball and chill in the fridge to firm, then re-roll and cut out more cookies. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet and chill for at least 20 minutes to ensure they hold their shapes.
  • Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges just barely start to turn golden brown. Cool completely on a wire rack before decorating with royal icing or frosting.
  • To make the royal icing, sift the powdered sugar into a large bowl and add the salt. On one side of the bowl, add the vanilla and egg whites.
  • Where you added the liquids, begin whisking the powdered sugar into the liquids, gathering a bit more as you whisk to prevent lumps from forming, until all of the powdered sugar is incorporated. Add food coloring, if desired, and whisk to incorporate. You can divide the icing into smaller bowls to make more than one color. At this point, the icing should be a good consistency for piping borders. If you'd like the frosting to be looser to flood or dip your cookies, add a few tablespoons of water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it reaches your desired consistency.
  • Decorate the cookies as desired.
  • Enjoy!

THE SOFTEST SUGAR COOKIES EVER RECIPE BY TASTY



The Softest Sugar Cookies Ever Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, unsalted butter, granulated sugar, egg, sour cream, vanilla extract, unsalted butter, powdered sugar, milk, food coloring, sprinkles

Provided by Julie Klink

Categories     Desserts

Yield 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup granulated sugar
1 egg
½ cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk
food coloring, for decorating
sprinkles, for decorating

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt to combine.
  • In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together with an electric hand mixer until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the egg and mix until fully incorporated. Add the sour cream and vanilla and mix until creamy. Add the flour mixture, a third at a time, until fully combined.
  • Lightly flour a work surface and turn out the dough. Press the dough together into a disc and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill for 1 hour in the refrigerator.
  • Preheat the oven to 300˚F (150˚C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Remove the plastic wrap from the dough and lightly flour a work surface. Roll out the dough to about ½-inch thick. Cut out circles using a glass or cookie cutter.
  • Transfer the cookies to the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch in between cookies. Bake for 8 minutes, until the cookie bottoms are golden brown and the tops are pale. Let the cookies cool on a wire rack.
  • Make the frosting: in a large bowl, beat the butter with an electric hand mixer until fluffy. Sift in the powdered sugar and mix until incorporated. Add the milk and continue to beat until the frosting is smooth and velvety. Add food coloring, if desired.
  • Frost the cooled cookies and decorate as you wish.
  • Enjoy!

COLORFUL COOKIES



Colorful Cookies image

When I saw this recipe in a Betty Crocker cookbook I was somewhat skeptical, but when I found a box of orange jello in my cupboard (I usually don't buy it and couldn't remember what I had it for) I decided to give it a try,. I was quite surprised and pleased with the results. I decided to top them and make orange coconut cookies, and not only did they taste nice and buttery (I used butter), the icing and coconut made them look quite pretty and very festive for the holidays. You can use any flavor jello you like (the reason I guess they are called "colorful") and any topping -- coconut, sprinkles, chiopped nuts, candied cherries, colored sugar -- the sky's the limit. I made them with orange jello, and dipped them right after icing into coconut.

Time 32m

Yield 42 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (3 ounce) box fruit flavored gelatin, divided (jello)
1 cup butter or 1 cup margarine, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon reserved gelatin powder
3 tablespoons very hot water
2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Remove 1 tablespoon of the gelatin powder and set aside to use for the icing later on.
  • Put the remainder of the gelatin powder in a large bowl with the butter and powdered sugar. Cream well.
  • Combine the flour with the salt and add to the butter mixture; mix well.
  • Shape the dough into 3/4 inch to 1 inch balls and place 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
  • Bake for 8 to 12 minutes, depending on the size of the cookies, until the edges just begin to slightly brown.
  • Remove from the oven, let sit on the cookie sheet for a minute or so, then remove cookies to a rack to cool completely.
  • Prepare the icing by dissolving the reserved 1 tablespoon of gelatin powder in the 3 tablespoons of hot water in a bowl. Let sit for 5 minutes, then add the vanilla and stir in the 2 cups powdered sugar until smooth.
  • Dip the tops of the cookies into the icing, then either dip in the topping of your choice or place back on the rack and sprinkle with your topping and let dry completely.
