Tips for Perfect Sugar Cookies
To achieve the ultimate sugar cookies, ensure your butter is softened but not melted. Creaming the butter and sugar thoroughly creates a light and airy texture essential for cookies that are soft yet slightly chewy. Also, avoid overmixing once the dry ingredients are added, as this can lead to tough cookies.
Chilling the dough for about 30 minutes before baking can help the cookies maintain their shape. This step is especially useful during warmer months when dough can become too soft. Additionally, using a cookie scoop ensures uniform size, resulting in even baking and a delightful appearance.
