HOMEMADE SUGAR COOKIES NO EGGS RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Combine butter and sugar in a bowl, and mix until it gets lighter and fluffier. (Either microwave the butter for about 45 seconds or make sure it's soft enough to whisk).
• Add vanilla and milk to butter/sugar mixture. (You can be flexible with the amount of vanilla you use).
• Combine salt, flour and baking powder in a separate bowl.
• Combine the dry and wet ingredients, using either a spatula or your hands. (Dough should be a little bit sticky at this point).
• Add extra flour as needed until dough becomes less sticky (I used about 3 T.) You don't want dough to be too tough or sticky.
• Form 12 equal-sized balls, flatten to about 1/2 - 2/3 inch in thickness. Coat one side with sugar. (Lay about 1/8 Cup sugar on flat surface and lay each flattened ball of dough on it, pressing gently).
• Bake for 8-10 minutes, until bottom is lightly golden.

Steps:

• Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium-sized bowl and set aside.
• Cream the butter and sugar together in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until light in color and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add cream cheese and vanilla and mix until well combined.
• Add the flour mixture and mix until the dough comes together and is combined. Do not over mix.
• Wrap dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 2 days.
• Once chilled, preheat your oven to 350°F (180° C). Then line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set it aside. NOTE: The number of batches will depend on how large/small you want your cookies.
• Roll the cookies into 1 tablespoon balls. Place the dough balls about 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheet and press down with the palm of your hand to create a 1/4-inch-thick cookie.
• Bake for 8-10 minutes, until very lightly colored on top and around the edges. Allow to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before icing.
