Chewy Sugar Cookies
I just made this recipe from Melissa DeBin Parish; they are so good!! Anyone care to share their favorite no-nut cookie recipe??
Ingredients:
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 sticks) butter, softened
- 2 cups white sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup white sugar for decoration
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a larger basin, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and 2 cups sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time and then the vanilla.
- Slowly mix in the dry ingredients until they are just combined.
- Roll the dough into walnut-sized balls and roll the balls in the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar.
- Place cookies 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets and flatten slightly.
- In a hot oven, bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned.
- Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before moving them to a wire rack to cool all the way.
