My original intent was to make these sugar cookies and roll them in orange sugar to be festive for October, but I couldn't find any orange sugar in my baking cabinet. They still came out pretty though. They are similar to the chewy Pepperidge Farm cookies, but they aren't quite as thick. I try not to eat much sugar, but I've already had 4 of these. That's how good they are!
Chewy Sugar Cookies
Ingredients:
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups white sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sugar for rolling cookies
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
- Using a mixer, beat together the butter and sugar until smooth and very fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla extract. Gradually blend in the dry ingredients.
- Roll rounded teaspoonfuls of dough into balls, and roll in sugar. Place on lined cookie sheets about 1 1/2 inches apart.
- Bake 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until lightly browned. Let stand on cookie sheet two minutes before removing to cool on wire racks.
Wow!!!! I made these tonight, exactly following your recipe. They are so pretty -- like "giving them on a cookie plate" pretty. And so so tasty. They are slight crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. Thank you for sharing this!!!!
ReplyDeleteI ended up with about 4 dozen cookies. I use my "1 tablespoon" scoop for sizing, then roll them into a ball and then into the sugar. These are really my favorites!!!
ReplyDeleteI made these and they seemed really sticky after I finished mixing them. When I baked them, I made them a huge cookie because, admittedly, I had given up on them. I put cinnamon-sugar on them and put them in the oven for all-in-all about 20 minutes. They turned into a sort of molten mess but after they cooled down, they were super good. I don't know what went wrong but alls well that ends well, right?
