Ingredients

  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, mix the softened butter and sugar until creamy.
  4. Add the egg and vanilla, and stir until smooth.
  5. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and stir until a dough forms.
  6. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions onto the baking sheet, leaving 2 inches between each.
  7. Bake for 9–11 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden.
  8. Cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then move to a wire rack.

Chef's Notes & Tips

  • Measure flour carefully: Spoon flour into your measuring cup and level it off — packing it can make cookies dry.
  • Watch the first batch: Oven temperatures vary, so check your cookies a minute early the first time.
  • Keep it simple: No mixer? A sturdy spoon and a little elbow grease work just fine.
  • Add-ins welcome: Try chocolate chips, sprinkles, or a dash of cinnamon once you've mastered the basics.

See? Baking really can be this simple. These beginner-friendly sugar cookies are proof that you don't need years of experience to make something wonderful. Give them a try, snap a picture of your gorgeous results, and share them with a friend who needs a little sweetness in their day. I'm cheering you on — happy baking!
