Wanna make soft and chewy sugar cookies in less than 20 minutes? This is the perfect recipe for you! With no need to use a mixer, these homemade vanilla sugar cookies can be made in just one bowl. Plus there is no chill time which means the entire prep takes about 5 minutes to put together. The end result is a buttery, soft, chewy cookie that is perfect to make for the holidays or anytime you crave something sweet.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, 227 grams
  • 1 cup granulated sugar , 200 grams
  • 1 egg, large
  • 1 yolk, white discarded
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 300 grams
  • 1 tsp corn starch
  • 3/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar, for rolling the cookies

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350° F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. You'll need to reuse them to make all 26 cookies.
  • In a medium sized microwaveable safe bowl, melt the 1 cup of butter for 30 seconds at a time until completely melted. Add the 1 cup of sugar and mix with a whisk to combine well.
  • Add in the 1 egg, 1 egg yolk, and the 2 tsp vanilla extract and mix for 30 seconds to one minute to combine well and create some air.
  • Add in the 2 1/2 cups flour, 1 tsp corn starch, 3/4 tsp baking soda, 1/4 tsp kosher salt.
  • Prepare a shallow bowl with 1/4 cup of granulated sugar ( you can eyeball this). Scoop the cookie dough with a 1 tbsp cookie scoop and roll well in the sugar. Repeat with the cookie dough to place 8 cookies per sheet.
  • Bake for 10 minutes, then immediately scoot the cookies and sprinkle white more sugar. Cool and enjoy!
