The Best Chewy Sugar Cookies Recipe
Servings
30
cookies
Ingredients
1 3/4
cup
all purpose flour
1/2
cup
unsalted butter
one stick, room temperature
1
cup
sugar
1
whole egg + 1 egg yolk
1/2
teaspoon
baking soda
1/4
teaspoon
salt
1 1/2
teaspoon
vanilla extract
optional: decorating sugar
Instructions
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
In the bowl of a mixer, cream together the butter and sugar for 2-3 minutes on med-high.
Add in the whole egg, egg yolk and vanilla, then mix again until incorporated.
Put in the baking soda, salt and flour, all at once, then mix on low until it
just
comes together.
Scoop out with a
1 oz. portion scoop
onto a
Silpat
(or a buttered baking sheet).
Bake for 7-9 minutes until the edges are barely browned. Do not overcook, or you'll have crunchy sugar cookies - not chewy ones :)
