Step on How to Make Easy Homemade Sugar Cookies Recipe
- Combine the flour, cornstarch, and salt together in a bowl. Stir to combine and keep aside. The cornstarch provides crunchiness to this sugar cookies recipe.
- In another bowl, add the sugar and butter together and beat or mix until it is soft, fluffy, and creamy in color. Using a hand electrical mixer, this can take about 10 minutes to achieve the light yellow (creamy) color and the softness you desire.
- Add room temperature eggs and vanilla and mix to combine.
- Now add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until you have a dough.
- Once this sugar cookies recipe dough is smooth, transfer to a flat surface; but first of all, place a baking paper over the surface then cover the top of the dough with another baking paper before using a rolling pin to roll the sugar cookies dough to be flat; just about 1/2 an inch thick.
- Now transfer the flatten dough to a tray and refrigerate for 20 minutes. Let the dough chill and become firm to make it easy for cut out cookies.
- After 20 minutes, remove the dough and use a cookie cutter of any shape to start cutting the dough so as to have cut out sugar cookies.
- Transfer the cut-out sugar cookies to a baking tray lined with a baking paper.
- Now bake in the preheated oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 12 minutes or until it is almost brown in color but not completely brown.
