Sugar Cookies - Wilton Recipe

Recipes »  Desserts  »  Cookies and Bars

This cookies are absolutely delicious and with no chilling time necessary, they can be made quickly. This is now my favorite sugar cookie!

"I just made these with my 4 year old son. We had such a great time. This recipe is basic enough to where I could keep him involved the whole time. We used baking powder, not baking soda, since the original recipe called for it (but the instructions say soda).

I think the cookies are a wee on the dry side, but they're still good. We are going to make frosting next!" - Jenrford

DO NOT CHILL DOUGH!

    Substituted syrup for vanilla and added a little more sugar and butter (baking at 3am and didn't have any vanilla) turned out very good.

    I just wanted something easy to make with my 5 year old. This one tasted okay, but is too dry for us.

    I just made these according to the recipe. I baked them at 185c and they turned out great. I used baking powder and I warmed my butter in the microwave before beating it.

    Great cookies I love that you don't have to wait for them to chill. I don't have much time to wait for things so it's great. I did use the baking powder and kept them thick. Just wish there was an easy icing recipe on here

    I made these because I had all the ingredients, they are awesome. A little worried at first until I saw the note that the dough would be stiff. The cookies turned out amazing. Even left uncovered, the next day they were still moist and flaky. Will make th again.

    I did a version of this eliminating the sugar and using Agave Nectar. We are making them for a second time tonight. This is a great cookie!
