    These fluffy sugar cookies are a delightful treat perfect for any occasion. With a soft and tender texture complemented by a slightly crispy edge, they are irresistible to cookie lovers of all ages.

    Ingredients

    • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
    • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
    • 1 egg
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • (Optional) 1/2 teaspoon almond extract

    Instructions

    Step 1: Prepare Your Oven and Baking Sheets

    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
    • Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

    Step 2: Cream Butter and Sugar

    • In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

    Step 3: Add Egg and Extracts

    • Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract (if using) until well combined.

    Step 4: Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients

    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and baking powder.
    • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.

    Step 5: Form and Coat Cookie Dough Balls

    • Scoop dough using a cookie scoop or tablespoon and roll into balls.
    • Roll each ball in additional granulated sugar to coat.

    Step 6: Bake the Cookies

    • Place the sugar-coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

    Step 7: Cool the Cookies

    • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 2-3 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

    Enjoy!

    These fluffy sugar cookies are perfect for any occasion. Enjoy them with a glass of milk or a cup of tea for a sweet and satisfying treat.
