RECIPE FOR SUGAR COOKIES WITHOUT BAKING SODA RECIPES

Steps:

• Mix together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy in a large bowl.
• Add the vanilla extract and egg before beating until you reach a smooth consistency.
• Introduce the flour and pinch of salt, stirring to form a soft dough.
• Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for one hour.
• Now preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface and cut into cookie shapes with cutters.
• Place the cookies on your lined baking sheet and refrigerate again for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Remove the cookies from the refrigerator and bake for 8 to 12 minutes or until golden brown on the edges.
• Place on a cooling rack and wait until they’re completely cool before decorating.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F In a bowl, mix flour and baking soda.
• In a larger bowl, cream sugar and softened butter until smooth. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract. Blend in the dry ingredients slowly until combined. I first made these with a fork instead of a mixer and it was fine. Hand roll into balls (teaspoon size) and place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Optional: Roll the dough balls in a mix of cinnamon and sugar before placing on the baking sheet.
• Bake 8 - 10 minutes or until light golden brown. Let the cookies cool for 2 minutes away from the heat before devouring.
