Roll Out Sugar Cookies

Sugar Cookie


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!
