Soft dreamy sugar cookies that nearly melt in your mouth. Gluten-free and vegan options too.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 cup Butter, softened ~ or a plant-based substitute
- 1 Lg Egg ~ or 3 Tbsp aquafaba (liquid from canned garbanzo beans)
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp Almond extract ~ nut-free use vanilla
- 2 1/2 cups All-purpose flour ~ or a gluten-free one-to-one baking blend
- 1 tsp Baking soda
- 1 tsp Cream of tartar
- Chocolate chips for melting ~ allergy-friendly if needed, like Enjoy Life
- Sprinkles
- Optional frosting
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl cream butter, powdered sugar, egg, vanilla, and almond extract.
- In a small mixing bowl stir together flour, baking soda, and cream of tartar.
- When measuring flour stir the flour then spoon the flour into the measuring cup. Do not shake down the flour and level off. Add flour mixture to creamed mixture. Don't over-mix, as this will cause tough cookies.
- Refrigerate for about 2-3 hours.
- Heat oven to 375.
- Roll out some dough on a floured pastry cloth and cut out shapes. Make sure you make two of the same shape for sandwich cookies.
- Bake for 7-8 minutes on an ungreased cookie sheet. Cool completely on wire racks.
- Make sandwiches with any flavor of frosting you like.
- To melt the chocolate for dipping we just melt a cup or two of chocolate chips in the microwave on low. Be careful because chocolate scorches easily.
- Dip one end of the cookie in the melted chocolate and top with colorful sprinkles. Let the cookie cool before eating and storing.
