Drop Sugar Cookies
Drop Sugar Cookies are soft and fluffy. They are so easy to make and can be made for different holidays and occasions by changing the colored sugar.
Servings: 36 cookies
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 1/4 teaspoons vanilla
- 2 tablespoons milk
- sugar crystals any color
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°. Coat sheet pan with cooking spray, shortening, or line with parchment paper.
- Sift together flour, baking soda, and salt into a small bowl; set aside.
- In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Add flour mixture and beat until combined, beat in milk.
- Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto prepared sheet pan. Gently flatten each cookie with the bottom of a glass dipped in sugar crystals. Bake 8-10 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool on wire rack.
Notes
I used a cookie scoop (it looks like a miniature ice cream scoop). I spray the bottom of the glass with a tiny bit of cooking spray the first time, so the sugar will stick.
