SIMPLE AND SWEET SUGAR COOKIES RECIPE
Course: Dessert
Cuisine: South African
Difficulty: Easy
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 15 minutes
INGREDIENTS
-
2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
-
1 tsp baking soda
-
1⁄2 tsp baking powder
-
1 cup butter, softened
-
1 1⁄2 cups sugar
-
1 egg
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
METHOD
- To make these delicious cookies, start by preheating your oven to 190°C.
- In a small bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, and baking powder, and then set the bowl aside.
- Next, in a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until the mixture is smooth. It’s important to ensure that your butter is soft before starting this step.
- Then, beat the egg and vanilla essence into the butter and sugar mixture. Gradually blend in the dry ingredients, making sure to mix everything together until fully combined.
- Using rounded teaspoonfuls of dough, roll the dough into balls and place them onto a lightly greased baking tray. Since the dough already contains butter, there is no need for excessive greasing. Be sure to leave enough space between each ball to allow for proper baking and forming.
- Bake the cookies for 10 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven until golden. Note that when you remove them from the oven, they will still be slightly soft, which is perfectly normal.
- Finally, remove the cookies from the hot baking tray and allow them to cool and harden on a separate tray or cookie sheet until they reach your desired texture. Some people prefer their cookies semi-hard, while others like them crisp.
NOTES
-
This treat is best enjoyed when paired with a steaming cup of tea. So go ahead, sit back, relax and savor the moment!
