EASY SOFT AND CHEWY SUGAR COOKIES {NO ROLLING OR CUTTING OUT!}
I love a good traditional, cutout sugar cookie. I really do. And I think there’s definitely a time and a place for old-fashioned, use-a-rolling-pin-and-cookie-cutter sugar cookies. Would you agree?
But we’re actually not here to talk about traditional sugar cookies today. No, no. Instead, we’re talking about the most delicious, EASY, chewy sugar cookies in the whole world. They are buttery and soft. Sugary and crackly.
They are so, so amazing.
As much as I lean toward chocolate-in-all-things, sugar cookies (a really good sugar cookie) will always be my undoing.
And having a perfectly chewy sugar cookie recipe at my fingertips to make when the sugar cookie craving hits without having to refrigerate dough, pull out the rolling pin, wash the nooks and crannies of cookie cutters…well, it feels amazing.
These soft sugar cookies are wonderful baked up plain and simple. But you can dress them up for a myriad of holidays by rolling the sugar cookie dough in sprinkles before baking.
