These Chewy Sugar Cookies are a perfect blend of softness and sweetness. With a light crinkle on top and a touch of vanilla, they make a delightful treat.

Ingredients

Scale

  1. For the Cookie Dough:

    • 2 3/4 cups (344 g) all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
    • 1/2 tsp baking powder
    • 1/2 tsp baking soda
    • 1/2 tsp salt
    • 1 cup (200 g) granulated white sugar
    • 1 cup (227 g) unsalted butter, very softened
    • 1 egg, at room temperature
    • 2 tsp vanilla extract

    For Rolling:

    • 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated white sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Prepare dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • Cream butter and sugar: In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar with an electric mixer on high speed for 1-2 minutes until light and fluffy.
  • Add egg and vanilla: Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients, mixing on low speed just until combined.
  • Form dough balls: Scoop out dough with a 2 tbsp cookie scoop and roll into balls. Roll each ball in granulated sugar.
  • Place dough on baking sheets: Space the dough balls 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Slightly flatten each ball into a circle.
  • Bake: Bake for 9-10 minutes, then let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.

Notes

  • Make sure the butter is very softened to get that light, fluffy texture.
  • Rolling the dough balls in sugar before baking gives the cookies a nice, sugary crunch on top.
  • For the best results, don’t overcrowd the baking sheet; bake about 6-8 cookies at a time.
