This is a recipe I have used for years. The cookies always come out perfect and I think they are as close as you can get to the perfect sugar cookie. These are easier to make than the drive to the store to purchase pre-made slice and bake cookies. I don’t even want to discuss the ingredient differences. Let’s just say, these have all natural ingredients with no artificial ingredients. Easy to make, slice and bake. You will be thrilled with the results!
Easy Slice Sugar Cookies
2015-03-26 14:23:44
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 2 1/4 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, mix sugar and butter. Beat in egg and vanilla until light and fluffy. Mix in flour and baking soda. Divide dough in half. Shape each half into a roll approx. 1 1/2" in diameter. Wrap and refrigerated for 1 hour or until well chilled.
- Preheat oven to 375, when you are ready to bake the cookies.
- Cut rolls into 1/4" slices. Place on ungreased cookie sheet and sprinkle each cookie generously with sugar.
- Bake 10 minutes or until lightly browned around the edges. Cool on a rack. Makes 3 dozen cookies.
Notes
- I like to bake one cookie roll and freeze the other roll. Just put the frozen cookie roll in the refrigerator to thaw, then slice and bake as directed above.
