Super Simple NO CHILL Sugar Cookie Recipe!

Sugar Cookies

Sugar cookies. Can we all agree that they are really kind of a pain to make from scratch?

First you have to make the dough. Then you have to chill the dough. Then you have to roll the dough. Then you have to find cute cookie cutters to cut the dough. Then you have to bake the cutely cut out dough shapes to the point of just barely brown, but not really brown at all.

I’d like to say I had found a way to cut out ALL of the above steps, but alas…that would basically mean a post consisting of telling you where to purchase pre-baked sugar cookies (or slice and bake cookies, yuck) and honestly, I doubt you need instructions on how to do that.

I did find a recipe that cuts out the “chill” portion of the process though with no remarkable difference in cookie texture or flavor.

These cookies are the perfect canvas for decorating, or you can just sprinkle some sugar on them right out of the oven!

Super Simple No Chill Sugar Cookie Recipe

Ingredients: 

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp almond extract (you can omit this, but I think this adds to the flavor big time)
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tsps baking powder
  • 3 cups all purpose flour

Directions: 

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees

2. Cream butters and sugar together. Add egg and vanilla and mix thoroughly.

3. Mix dry ingredients and slowly add dry ingredients to wet ingredients.

4. Roll dough out to about 1/4 inch thick.

5. Cut with cookie cutters and place on an ungreased baking sheet.

6. Bake for 6-8 minutes until just barely brown on the bottoms.

7. Decorate or sprinkle with sugar!

Enjoy!
