Description
These 3-Ingredient Easy Sugar Cookies are a simple, quick, and delicious treat made with just flour, sugar, and butter. Perfect for when you want something sweet without spending much time in the kitchen.
Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup butter, softened
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and softened butter. Mix until a dough forms.
- Roll the dough into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter) and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Flatten each ball slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers to form a cookie shape.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For added flavor, try adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a dash of cinnamon.
For a festive touch, sprinkle colored sugar or cinnamon on top before baking.
If you’d like a tangy twist, add a small amount of lemon zest.
To prevent the cookies from spreading too much, chill the dough in the fridge for 30 minutes before baking.
