Sugar Cookie Bliss: Perfect Cookies for Every Occasion

Classic Sugar Cookie Recipe

The perfect base for creative shapes and decorations!

Ingredients

• 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 ½ cups white sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon almond extract (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and baking powder.
3. In a larger bowl, cream butter and sugar until smooth. Add egg, vanilla, and almond extract, mixing well.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, blending until just combined.
5. Roll dough onto a floured surface to ¼-inch thickness. Use your Fussy Pup cookie cutters to create your favorite shapes.
6. Place cookies on prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each.
7. Bake 8–10 minutes, or until edges turn lightly golden. Cool completely before decorating.

Tips for Baking Success:

• For softer cookies, slightly underbake them by about 30 seconds.
• Chill the dough for 30 minutes before rolling if the kitchen is warm.
• Rotate your baking sheet halfway through to ensure even browning.
