    Today’s cookies for Cookie Friday are quick and easy Sugar Cookies. I am saying this so often that it almost sounds like a prayer: you don’t need fancy cookies all the time – the simple ones are just as good! ;)

    I am not saying I do not like the “other ones”… give me a chocolate stuffed cookie and I am happy. Same for cookies with chocolate or whatever topping – all good! But a regular sugar cookie here and there – also really great!

    Those Sugar Cookies go well with a cup of tea or coffee. They are not as dry as biscuit cookies for example (that’s why they should not be stored for too long) but they also soak up liquid really nicely :P You can use them for many other things as well. For example as a crumbly cookie layer in a layered dessert or if you crush them finely, they work really well as a base for cheesecakes. Many things you can do :)

    If you like your cookies more colorful, you can add some sugar glaze and throw some rainbow sprinkles on top. Another way to use them… especially in summer: ice cream sandwiches. You see… good old sugar cookies are pretty damn versatile :P

    INGREDIENTS / ZUTATEN

    • English
    • Deutsch
    (28-30 cookies)

    1 cup (230g) butter, softened
    1 1/2 cups (300g) sugar
    1 large egg
    1 large egg yolk
    2 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
    3 cups (390g) all-purpose flour
    1 tsp. baking powder
    1/4 tsp. salt

    (28-30 Cookies)

    230g Butter
    300g Zucker
    1 Ei (L)
    1 Eigelb (L)
    2 1/2 TL Vanille Extrakt
    390g Mehl (Type 405)
    1 TL Backpulver
    1/4 TL Salz

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • English
    • Deutsch
    1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with baking parchment and set aside.

    2. Add the butter and sugar to a large bowl and mix until light and fluffy. Add the egg, egg yolk and vanilla extract and mix until well combined. Mix the flour with baking powder, and salt and add to the bowl, mix until just combined. Use a cookie scoop (or ice cream scoop) to place dough portions with enough space in between on the baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes. The cookies should not get much of a color and look slightly under-baked. Take out of the oven and let cool down on the baking sheet for some time, then transfer to a wire rack and let cool down completely.

    1. Den Backofen auf 180°C (350°F) vorheizen. Ein Backblech mit Backpapier auslegen und zur Seite stellen.

    2. Die Butter mit dem Zucker in eine große Schüssel geben und hell und luftig aufschlagen. Ei, Eigelb und Vanille Extrakt dazugeben und gut unterrühren. Das Mehl mit Backpulver und Salz vermischen und dann zur Schüssel dazugeben und nur kurz unterrühren, bis sich alles verbunden hat. Mit einem Cookie Scoop (Eisportionierer) etwa 8 Teigportionen mit genügend Abstand zueinander auf das Blech setzen und dann für 10-12 Minuten backen. Die Cookies sollten nur minimal Farbe bekommen und eigentlich etwas “zu wenig gebacken” aussehen – dann sind sie richtig ;) Auf dem Blech etwas abkühlen lassen, sobald man sie bewegen kann auf ein Kuchengitter legen und komplett auskühlen lassen. Mit dem restlichen Teig wiederholen.

    About me


    Hi, my name is Marc. I’m a graphic designer.
    I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake – for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers – and it seems they like it most of the time. ;)
