  • Summary

    With crisp edges, thick centers, and room for lots of decorating icing, I know you'll love these soft sugar cookies as much as I do. The number of cookies this recipe yields depends on the size of the cookie cutter you use. If you'd like to make dozens of cookies for a large crowd, double the recipe.

    Ingredients

    • 2 and 1/4 cups (281g) all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled)
    • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 3/4 cup (170g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
    • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
    • 1 large egg, at room temperature
    • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
    • 1/4 or 1/2 teaspoon almond extract (optional, but makes the flavor outstanding)*
    • Royal Icing or Easy Glaze Icing
