Equipment

Ingredients

1 cup butter slightly softened
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
3 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
sprinkles for decoration

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
In a mixer, cream together sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Add in eggs and vanilla. Mix just until combined.
Add in flour, salt, baking soda. Mixing on low just until combined. Don't over mix.
Form balls of dough and roll into sprinkles if desired. Place on a parchment lined cookie sheet.
Bake for 10-11 minutes. Ten minutes for soft cookies and 11 minutes for cookies that are slightly crisp around the edges and soft in the middle.
Allow to cool on baking sheet for a few minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack.

Notes

Use a scoop to make uniform balls of dough to ensure they bake evenly.

If you want a crispier sugar cookie, increase baking time to 12 minutes.

These cookies are fun to roll in sprinkles, baking sugar, or granulated before baking.

Swap almond extract for vanilla extract for a different flavor profile

If your cookies are spreading while baking, chill the dough for 30 minutes.
