My Favorite Roll Out Sugar Cookies Food

BEST CUT OUT SUGAR COOKIE RECIPE

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or in a large mixing bowl if using a hand mixer). Mix on low, scraping the bowl occasionally, until the mixture forms a cookie dough. Be sure to start on low or the dry ingredients will fly everywhere!
• Divide the dough in half. Place a large sheet of waxed paper on a large cutting board or flat surface. Place the cookie dough on the wax paper. Place another large sheet of wax paper on top of the cookie dough. Press down into a flat disk with the palm of your hand, then roll out the dough between the two pieces of wax paper. After each 3-4 rolls, carefully lift the top sheet of wax paper off the dough, then replace it, flip the dough over, and carefully peel the other wax paper sheet, replace it, then continue rolling until the dough is about 1/4" thick. Place the dough, still between the wax paper sheets, on another cutting board or cookie sheet.
• Repeat with second half of dough. Place both rolled out cookie dough sheets in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or wrap them well with plastic wrap and chill overnight).
• When ready to cut cookies, preheat oven to 375°F.
• Cut cookies in desired shapes and place them on a parchment or silpat lined baking sheet. Save the scraps of dough and re-roll them as needed. Note: once you re-roll the dough, you may want to chill those cutouts for about 10 minutes before baking them so they'll keep their shape.
• Bake cookies for 6-10 minutes depending on the size. I take them out as soon as the bottoms start to brown because we like them softer. If you want crunchy cookies, let them cook longer. Cool completely before frosting and decorating.
• To make frosting, beat butter until smooth in a large bowl with an electric mixer. Slowly mix in powdered sugar, then vanilla and 1 tablespoon of milk at a time until the frosting is the consistency you desire. Tint the frosting if you want it a color.
• Frost cookies, decorating them with sprinkles. Store loosely covered at room temperature.

PERFECT ROLL OUT SUGAR COOKIES RECIPE

Steps:

• In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream sugar and butter until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes on medium-high. Add vanilla extract, almond extract and the whole egg. Mix, then add the egg white and mix until combined.
• In a small mixing bowl whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. With mixing speed on low, gradually add dry ingredients until no flour pockets remain. I like to roll the dough out between two sheets of plastic wrap so that it's just under 1/2" thick, stick it on a baking sheet and refrigerate for 2-3 hours (that way I can just remove the plastic wrap and cut my first set of cookies out). You can also place the dough in an airtight container and refrigerate as well.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or baking mats, set aside.
• Roll dough out on a floured surface to just under 1/2" thick. Cut cookies and transfer to prepared baking sheet, place at least 1/2" apart (or cut directly from the rolled sheet of dough).
• Place in oven and bake for 8-10 minutes (the cookies will look extra soft, do not over bake) or until the cookies become firm on the edges. Remove and allow to cool for 3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Re-roll dough and continue cutting and baking until all of the dough has been used.
• Meanwhile, to make the frosting, in the bowl of a stand mixer cream butter until it becomes light and smooth. Add salt, 2 tablespoons of milk and vanilla. With mixing speed on low gradually add powdered sugar. Once powdered sugar is incorporated, bring mixing speed up to high and beat for 2 minutes. Add more milk to reach the desired consistency. Frost onto cooled cookies and top with desired sprinkles.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400*F''
• Prepare 2 baking sheets and set aside. This can be done by greasing them with butter or Crisco, non-stick spray, parchment paper, non-stick foil or a baking mat. Whatever your preferred method is.
• Cream together sugar and butter for 3 minutes or until fluffy.
• Add eggs and mix again.
• Add salt, and baking powder. Blend.
• Add 1/4 cup buttermilk, vanilla and almond extract. Blend.
• Add 2 1/2 cups flour (1/2 cup at a time).
• Add remaining 1/4 cup buttermilk.
• Then remaining flour (for a total of 4 1/2 cups). Batter should be smooth, elastic like and slightly sticky. If too sticky, add more flour a little at a time (up to 1 cup - be careful to not put TOO much flour in the dough).
• When ready to roll out, sprinkle surface with powdered sugar, not flour. These are SUGAR cookies. Roll them out in sugar! Roll to 1/4 in thickness.
• Cut out with favorite shape and transfer to prepared pan.
• Bake 10 minutes. Watch carefully as every oven bakes differently. You want the cookies to be a hint of golden under them, not dark golden. Edges should not start to show golden, you'll have to gently flip a cookie to see for sure.
• Allow cookies to cool completely then frost.

ROLL-OUT COOKIES

Steps:

• In a bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add egg and extracts. Combine flour and baking powder; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. (Dough will be very stiff. If necessary, stir in the last cup of flour mixture by hand. Do not chill.) On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to 1/8-in. thickness. Cut out cookies into desired shapes. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 400° for 6-7 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool 2 minutes before removing to wire racks; cool completely. For glaze, combine the sugar, water and corn syrup until smooth. Tint with food coloring if desired. Using a small brush and stirring glaze often, brush on cookies, decorating as desired.
