Ingredients
- 226 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 260 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 30 grams granulated sugar (for sprinkling)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar using a handheld or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until fully combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure your cookies stay tender.
Step 6
Using a teaspoon or small cookie scoop, portion out the dough into small balls (about 15 grams each) and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 5 cm (2 inches) apart.
Step 7
Using the bottom of a glass or a flat spatula, gently press each cookie dough ball to flatten slightly.
Step 8
Sprinkle the flattened cookie dough with granulated sugar to add extra crispiness and sweetness.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Keep a close eye on them as they can quickly overbake.
Step 10
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 11
Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Enjoy your crispy and delicious Agnes Sugar Cookies!
