Classic chewy sugar cookies with a delightful balance of sweetness and a soft, tender texture, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/3 cups white sugar
  • 1/3 cup for rolling
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt until well mixed.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and 1 1/4 cups of sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add the egg, egg yolk, vanilla extract, and almond extract (if using) to the butter mixture. Beat until smooth and combined.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until fully incorporated.
  6. Roll the dough into balls about 1 tablespoon in size and roll them in the remaining sugar. Place them 2 inches apart on the cookie sheets.
  7. Bake for 8-10 minutes until the cookies are just set on top but still soft.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use room temperature butter for easier mixing and better texture. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. Freezing dough is possible for up to three months.
