Classic Italian Sugar Cookies
Ingredients
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, or 175 degrees Celsius, for optimal baking results.
2
Next, take a moment to prepare the baking surfaces by lightly coating two baking sheets with cooking spray.
3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder to create a foundation for your baked goods.
4
In a separate mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the butter and sugar until you achieve a smooth and silky consistency.
5
Gradually incorporate eggs into the mixture, one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
6
Once all eggs have been added, mix in the vanilla extract to add a touch of flavor.
7
Gradually combine the flour mixture with the wet ingredients, stirring until everything is well blended and cohesive.
8
Using your hands, shape the dough into small, walnut-sized portions that can be easily manipulated.
9
Roll each portion into a small rope and shape it into a loop, pressing the ends together to seal the dough.
10
Place these loops 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets, allowing for even cooking and browning.
11
Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake until the edges are firm and golden, 8 to 10 minutes.
12
Remove the baked goods from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack, allowing the flavors to meld together.
