Sugar cookies

Experience

end September 2021 in Lyon with Maman, practicing my cookie decorating skills – half of this based on one egg yolk made about 20 cookies, also it’s not a particularly tasteful recipe really, sugar cookies are a bit plain

15 cookies

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup (113 g) butter, softened
• 3/4 cups + 2 tbsp sugar
• 1 egg, room temperature
• 1/2 tsp vanilla
• 1/8 tsp almond extract
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 2 3/4 cups flour
• 3/4 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt

Recipe

• Beat butter and sugar until creamy. In a large bowl, mix together butter and sugar. Beat until creamy. Add in eggs, vanilla, lemon extract and sour cream and mix together until combined.
• In a separate bowl, mix together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Slowly add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix just until combined.
• Split dough in two and place in saran wrap. Refrigerate dough for 1-2 hours.
• Once dough has chilled, preheat oven to 350°. 
• Roll out dough on a baker’s mat or parchment paper. Add another 1/4 – 1/2 cup flour if dough is still sticky. Cut with floured cookie cutter.
• Bake for 8-9 minutes, until edges are slightly golden.
