When I first started on my cookie journey, I found a base Royal Icing and Sugar Cookie recipe for free on Sweet Sugarbelle's website. She is the OC - The Original Cookier and the sweetest person ever. (Yes, I've met her!)
Because I believe in paying it forward, I offer basic Royal Icing and Roll Out Sugar Cookie recipes for free. The more complex cookie recipes are for purchase in my website shop.
As I hate having to scroll all the way to the bottom for a recipe, I've listed it here but recommend you reading the notes at the bottom of the post BEFORE starting the recipe.
Ingredients
1/2 C Powder Sugar
1 C SALTED Butter - Softened
1/2 Tsp Baking Powder - see notes
2-3 Tbsp Flavouring (oil or emulsion)
1 Egg
2-4 C Flour - See Notes for GF
Directions
Notes About This Recipe
Flavourings
Add whatever flavourings make your heart happy. Vanilla is a good place to start but also be creative with lavendar or lemon for example.
Freezing & Refrigeration
This is a no-chill recipe however if you do chill it, it wont hurt.
For large batches I roll it out between sheets of parchment and freeze in an airtight container. you can bake from frozen but it may need a minute or so longer to bake
Gluten Free
You can substitute Gluten Free Flour in a 1:1 ratio for this recipe just omit the Baking Powder and add 1 tbsp water. My favourite is Deby's Gluten Free which is a Denver Based Gluten Free Facility. They ship nationwide.
I recommend making Gluten free cookies thicker than your average recipe as they need that additional stability.
Spreading
If your issue is puffy spreading: : omit the baking powder
If you are at high altitude: omit the baking powder
If you are getting spreading blobs that are relatively flat: your butter is too melty The perfect butter consistency should be soft enough to stick a fork in and wave the stick of butter around in the air
If you did the above and it's still not working: add more flour. Just not too much that the dough is crumbly.
If you run into any issues, drop me a comment and I'll try to help.
Happy Baking!
