Traditional sugar cookies are soft and tender thanks to the extra egg in the dough. For a shiny, slightly crispy texture, the cookies are rolled in sugar before baking. If you're making them for a holiday, you can roll them in decorative sugar of different colors. For example, green, white, and red sugar are perfect for New Year's and Christmas.

Ingredients:

• 2.5 cups premium flour
• 1/4 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
• 1 cup sugar + extra (about 1/3 cup) for rolling
• 165g unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, at room temperature
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Preparation:

Step 1
• In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar with a mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in the eggs, then the vanilla. Add the flour mixture and beat on medium-low speed until smooth. Scoop out 1 heaping tablespoon of dough, shape it into balls with your hands, and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
Step 2
• Place baking sheets in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 350°F (175°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 3
• Place a small amount of sugar in a small bowl. Roll the chilled dough balls in the sugar and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 5 cm apart.
Step 4
• Bake until the bottoms and edges of the cookies are lightly golden and the tops are no longer shiny, 14–16 minutes, rotating the baking sheets halfway through. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Cookies can be stored in a tightly sealed container at room temperature for up to 3 days..
