Soft Sugar Cookie Recipe: Halloween Style

Many of you have requested the recipe… so here it is!

After my last cookie post, I had many of you email me for the sugar cookie recipe I use.

Since all of these requests came in after the cookies were made, I didn’t have a chance to take step-by-step pictures of the recipe…. but I promise, it is simple enough, so you really shouldn’t need that.

Here is what you need. Made 25 VERY large and thick cookies ( or 40-60 smaller cookies)

Soft Sugar Cookie Recipe

• 5.5 cups of flour
• 3 cups of sugar
•  4 eggs
• 1 lbs (4 sticks) of salted butter at room temp
• 2 Tbsp flavoring… I have used lemon, vanilla or almond

1. Combine butter and sugar and mix until creamy.
2.  Add flavor & eggs and beat until fluffy
3. Add flour on a low speed, slowly
4. Put dough in refrigerator for a couple hours.
5. I cut cookies very thick (a little less than 1/2 in) This makes super thick soft cookies… mmmm.
6. As for baking, it depends on how thick and big your cookies are.
7. For these large thick cookies, I cooked at 375 for 10-14 minutes.  (or until just set, do not wait for them to start browning)
8. For smaller cookies, I have cooked the at 350 for 8-13 minutes. Sorry that there isn’t more specifics, but no cookie is alike : )

Make sure to cut your cookies thick and insert the cookie sticks before you bake 🙂

As for the frosting…. I use the basic royal frosting recipe. Here is one from Food Network.
