sugar cookies?

Question

I am looking for a good, soft cookie dough recipe

Answer 1

Soft Sugar Cookies


Ingredients:

1 cup sour cream
2 cups sugar
1 cup shortening
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
6 cups flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt


Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Combine sour cream, sugar, shortening, eggs and vanilla. Mix well.
Slowly add the dry ingredients until everything is completely mixed together. Let the dough chill for about 15 minutes.
Form dough into small balls, or use fun cookie cutters.

Bake until LIGHT golden brown - no more than 10 minutes. When you take them out of the oven they may seem underdone, but they aren't. Just let them cool on the pan and you will find that they are perfectly soft and moist. If you prefer sugar cookies that are a little harder and more crumbly, bake them longer.

Answer 3

sugar cookies



3 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon milk
Powdered sugar, for rolling out dough

Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. Place butter and sugar in large bowl of electric stand mixer and beat until light in color. Add egg and milk and beat to combine. Put mixer on low speed, gradually add flour, and beat until mixture pulls away from the side of the bowl. Divide the dough in half, wrap in waxed paper, and refrigerate for 2 hours.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Sprinkle surface where you will roll out dough with powdered sugar. Remove 1 wrapped pack of dough from refrigerator at a time, sprinkle rolling pin with powdered sugar, and roll out dough to 1/4-inch thick. Move the dough around and check underneath frequently to make sure it is not sticking. If dough has warmed during rolling, place cold cookie sheet on top for 10 minutes to chill. Cut into desired shape, place at least 1-inch apart on greased baking sheet, parchment, or silicone baking mat, and bake for 7 to 9 minutes or until cookies are just beginning to turn brown around the edges, rotating cookie sheet halfway through baking time. Let sit on baking sheet for 2 minutes after removal from oven and then move to complete cooling on wire rack. Serve as is or ice as desired. Store in airtight container for up to 1 week.
