Certainly! Here’s a simple recipe for cracked sugar cookies:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups (315g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Additional granulated sugar for rolling
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Mix Dry Ingredients with Wet: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. If the dough seems too soft, you can refrigerate it for about 30 minutes to firm it up.
- Form Dough Balls: Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Roll each ball in granulated sugar until coated.
- Place on Baking Sheets: Place the sugar-coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The tops of the cookies should appear cracked.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
Enjoy your delicious cracked sugar cookies! They’re perfect for any occasion and great for sharing with friends and family.
