Easy Sugar Cookie Recipe (With Icing!) #desserts #christmas

These are the best sugar treats! This formula makes a basic, adaptable vanilla sugar treat; the mixture is anything but difficult to roll and to work with and doesn't spread when heating, so your treats will consistently have sharp, characterized edges! You can enrich these treats with sanding sugar, or you can utilize my formula underneath for a straightforward (and delicious!) pipe-capable sugar treat icing (one that is not imperial icing!).

This is only a well disposed update that Christmas is formally short of what one month away, so on the off chance that you aren't blowing a gasket yet about not having the entirety of your Christmas shopping done, or even began, right now is an ideal opportunity to begin going ballistic.

While my present purchasing circumstance isn't at all leveled out, I at any rate have the Christmas treat circumstance secured with this simple sugar treat formula. I began taking a shot at this formula a, quite a while back, yet made myself hold up until in the wake of Thanksgiving to at last offer it. It was a ton of work, yet the final product was impeccable removed sugar treats that were certainly justified regardless of the pause.

Ingredients
Sugar Cookies

• 1 cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature (226g)
• 1 cup sugar (200g)
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract²
• 1 large egg
• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (315g)
• 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 3/4 teaspoon salt

Sugar Cookie Frosting

• 3 cups powdered sugar, sifted (375g)
• 3-4 Tablespoons milk
• 2 Tablespoons light corn syrup
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Gel food coloring optional
• Additional candies and sprinkles for decorating optional

Recommended Equipment

• Kitchen Scale (recommended but not required)
• Gel food coloring (these are the ones I use to color my sugar cookie icing)

Instructions
Sugar Cookies

1. Combine butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer (or in a large bowl and use an electric hand mixer) and beat until creamy and well-combined.
2. Add egg and vanilla extract and beat until completely combined.
3. In a separate, medium-sized bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
4. Gradually add dry ingredients into wet until completely combined.
5. Lay out a large piece of plastic wrap and transfer approximately half of the dough onto the wrap (dough will be quite sticky at this point, that's OK!).
6. Cover with clear wrap and mold into a disk.  Repeat with remaining cookie dough in another piece of cling wrap.  Transfer dough to refrigerator and chill for at least 2-3 hours3
7. Once dough has finished chilling, preheat oven to 350F (175C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.  Set aside.
8. Generously dust a clean surface with flour and deposit one chilled cookie dough disk onto the surface.  Lightly flour the dough and roll out to 1/8" (for thinner, crispier cookies) or 1/4" (for thicker, softer cookies).  Continue to add flour as needed both on top of and beneath the dough so that it doesn't stick.
9. Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes and use a spatula to transfer shapes to prepared baking sheet.4 
10. Bake on 350F (175C) for 9-10 minutes5, or until edges just begin to turn lightly golden brown.
11. Allow cookies to cool completely on cookie sheet before moving and frosting.

Sugar Cookie Frosting

1. Combine sugar, 2 Tablespoons of milk, corn syrup, and vanilla extract in a medium-sized bowl and stir until combined. If frosting is too thick, add more milk, about a teaspoon at a time, until the frosting is thick but pipeable. If you accidentally add too much milk, add powdered sugar until desired texture is reached.  
2. If coloring the frosting, divide into bowls and color as desired at this point.
3. Transfer frosting to a piping bag with a piping tip (I used Wilton 5), or place in a Ziploc bag and snip a small piece of the corner off (not as neat, but this will still work, just take care that the frosting isn’t so thick that it breaks open the seam of the bag when you are squeezing).  
4. Pipe frosting on cookies and decorate with decorative candies, if desired.
5. Allow frosting to harden before enjoying (this took several hours for me and may vary for you depending on the consistency of your frosting)
6. Keep uneaten cookies sealed in an airtight container at room temperature.
