When it comes to substitutions, you can easily swap the butter for margarine, depending on your preference. If you’re looking to make a dairy-free version, margarine is a good choice. Also, be cautious with allergies; if you’re working with gluten sensitivities, gluten-free flour can be used in place of all-purpose flour.

Simple Sugar Cookies Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup baker’s corner granulated sugar
- 1 cup butter or 1 cup margarine, softened
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together 1 cup of baker’s corner granulated sugar and 1 cup of softened butter or margarine until well combined.
- Beat in 1 egg and 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract until the mixture is light and fluffy, resembling a cloud of sweet goodness.
- Slowly mix in 2 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon of baking soda until everything is nicely blended together.
- Divide the dough into two equal halves and shape each half into a roll about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Wrap each roll in wax paper and refrigerate for approximately 1 hour until it’s nice and chilled.
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit, preparing for cookie magic.
- Unwrap the rolls and cut them into 1/4-inch slices. Sprinkle a pinch of sugar on each slice for an extra touch of sweetness.
- Place the slices on an ungreased baking pan, making sure to leave some space between them, and bake for 10-12 minutes or until they are lightly browned around the edges.
- Once baked, let the cookies cool on a wire rack. Once completely cooled, store them in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
