Eggless Sugar Cookies Recipe
Since, ‘tis officially cookie baking season I am sharing my favorite Eggless Sugar Cookies This recipe is simple, straightforward, and downright delicious.
Sugar cookies are a favorite at every holiday party, birthday, or any occasion that requires a sweet, melt-in-your-mouth treat and they will be the start of your table whether dressed simply with frosting, and sprinkles, or frosted with royal icing.
These Eggless Sugar Cookies are tender, buttery, keep their shape when baked, and yes, taste amazing, too.
TIP AND TRICK TO MAKE SUGAR COOKIES:
- Always refrigerate the cookie dough before and after cutting them. If it gets too warm it’ll be challenging to cut out and move to baking sheets.
- The best way, in my opinion, to roll out the dough is over a big piece of parchment paper. If parchment paper is not an option a well-floured work surface will also work.
- Try to roll out the dough evenly, no thinner than a 1/8 of an inch.
- Gather any scraps and reroll the dough, but no more than twice. After that, the dough will become too tough.
- If you don’t have cookie cutterS use a wide-mouth glass jar or cup.
