There is nothing better than the buttery taste of a golden sugar cookie. Sure you can decorate them, but why mess with perfection? Ingredients:
16 tablespoons (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature |
3/4 cup sugar |
1 large egg |
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract |
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for the work surface |
1/4 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt |
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 350° F. Beat the butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer on medium-high until smooth. Add the egg and beat until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the vanilla. Reduce mixer speed to low. Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl and add it slowly to the butter mixture, mixing until just incorporated (the dough will be stiff). Shape into a flat 1-inch-thick disk. Refrigerate, wrapped, for 30 minutes. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to 1/4 inch thick. Cut into shapes and place on parchment-lined baking sheets. The scraps can be combined and rolled out again. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are a light golden brown. Cool slightly on the baking sheets before transferring to cooling racks.
