Classic Chewy Sugar Cookies
Ingredients
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups margarine
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup white sugar for decoration
Instructions
1
Combine the dry ingredients, including flour, baking soda, and salt, in a medium-sized container. Mix them thoroughly to ensure they are evenly blended.
2
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together sugar and margarine until they form a smooth consistency.
3
Add the first egg to the mixture, beating it in until fully incorporated. Next, add the second egg and vanilla extract, mixing them together before adding the dry ingredients.
4
Cover the mixture with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to an hour, allowing it to rest and relax.
5
Heat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius), preparing it for the cookies' journey.
6
Form the dough into small, walnut-sized balls and then roll them in a quarter cup of sugar to coat.
7
Place the cookies two inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets, flattening them slightly before baking.
8
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until they are lightly browned at the edges.
9
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the cookie sheets for five minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to continue cooling completely.
