Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar (for rolling)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract until combined.

Step 4

In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until the dough comes together. Avoid overmixing.

Step 6

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Roll each ball in the extra granulated sugar to coat.

Step 7

Place the sugar-coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Use the bottom of a glass to gently press down on each dough ball to flatten slightly.

Step 9

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are just beginning to turn golden.

Step 10

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve and enjoy your Easy Old Fashioned Sugar Cookies with a glass of milk or a cup of tea!
