Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups white sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup strawberry glaze
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats to prevent the cookies from sticking.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened unsalted butter and white sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat well until fully incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be soft and slightly sticky.
- Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers appear set. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes.
- Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely before glazing.
- Once the cookies are cool, drizzle the strawberry glaze over the tops of each cookie. You can use a spoon or a piping bag for more control over the glaze application.
- Let the glaze set for about 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious strawberry glazed sugar cookies!
Tips
- • Ensure your butter is softened but not melted for the perfect cookie texture • Don't overmix the dough - this can lead to tough cookies • Use room temperature ingredients for more consistent results • Space cookies evenly on the baking sheet to prevent them from merging • Let cookies cool completely before applying the strawberry glaze • For a more professional look, use a piping bag to drizzle the glaze • Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness • For extra flavor, you can add a tiny bit of strawberry extract to the glaze • Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking for thicker, more stable cookies
