SIMPLE WAY TO MAKE SUGAR COOKIES RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. While that heats up, grab a baking tray and line with non-stick baking paper.
• Mix the white granulated sugar and softened butter. We recommend using an electric mixer for this step. Keep mixing until the mixture appears fluffy.
• Add vanilla extract and combine with the mixture. Add an egg and fully combine. Then add the second egg and whisk again.
• Sift all purpose flour into a mixing bowl. Add the baking soda and salt into this dry mixture too.
• Now it is time to combine both mixtures. For the best results, use an electric mixer. Slowly add the dry mixture to the wet. Try not to overwork the mixture as this can have a negative effect on the final outcome of your bake.
• Pour in the chocolate chips and ensure that they are as evenly distributed as possible.
• Scoop out even amounts of the cookie dough and put onto your lined baking tray. Leave a two inch gap between each cookie. This will keep them from baking into one huge cookie!
• Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes.
• Put cookies onto a cooling rack and serve when fully cooled down to room temperature.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the butter in a bowl and beat it using an electric whisk until soft and creamy. Beat in the sugar, then the egg and vanilla or lemon, and finally the flour to make a dough. If the dough feels a bit sticky, add a little more flour and knead it in.
• Cut the dough into six pieces and roll out one at a time to about 5mm thickness on a floured surface. The easiest way to do this is to roll the mixture out on a baking mat. Cut out letter and number shapes (we used 7 x 4cm cutters) and peel away the leftover dough at the edges. Re-roll any off-cuts and repeat.
• Transfer the whole mat or the individual biscuits to two baking sheets (transfer them to baking parchment if not using a mat) and bake for 7-10 mins or until the edges are just brown. Leave to cool completely and repeat with the rest of the dough. You should be able to fit about 12 on each sheet. If you are using two sheets, then the one underneath will take a minute longer.
• Ice the biscuits using the pens to make stripes or dots, or colour in the whole biscuit if you like. They will keep for five days in an airtight container.
