Real simple chewy sugar cookies
Recipe by Elizabeth Appel
• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 2 cups sugar (I use less)
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Prep. Time → 20 min
Cook Time → 12-15 min
1. 1. Heat oven to 350° F. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
2. Using an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugars on medium-high speed until fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. One at a time, beat in the eggs, then add the vanilla. Reduce speed to low and gradually add the flour mixture, mixing until just combined (do not overmix). (I chill the dough for a bit - it is very dry)
3. Drop heaping tablespoonfuls of the dough onto baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart. (I roll the dough into balls, sprinkle with a little sugar and squash the balls with a flat glass before bakig.
4. Bake, rotating the baking sheets halfway through, until the cookies are golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool slightly on the baking sheets, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
