FLUFFY EGGLESS SUGAR COOKIES (BREATHTAKING DELICACIES)



Fluffy Eggless Sugar Cookies (Breathtaking Delicacies) image

Being a vegetarian, it's always difficult to find recipes, especially for baking, that retain the texture and taste without eggs. I found a recipe for sugar cookies on recipezaar a few months ago, and every time I used it, I would tweak it just a little. Over time, it has developed into this awesome recipe which results in fluffy, light, sugar cookies - emphasis on the fluffy. (No one is a huge fan of flat, hard cookies,after all.) Enjoy!

Time 20m

Yield 12 cookies, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup sugar
2 cups butter
2 tablespoons milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 pinch salt
1/8 cup sugar, for topping

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Combine butter and sugar in a bowl, and mix until it gets lighter and fluffier. (Either microwave the butter for about 45 seconds or make sure it's soft enough to whisk).
  • Add vanilla and milk to butter/sugar mixture. (You can be flexible with the amount of vanilla you use).
  • Combine salt, flour and baking powder in a separate bowl.
  • Combine the dry and wet ingredients, using either a spatula or your hands. (Dough should be a little bit sticky at this point).
  • Add extra flour as needed until dough becomes less sticky (I used about 3 T.) You don't want dough to be too tough or sticky.
  • Form 12 equal-sized balls, flatten to about 1/2 - 2/3 inch in thickness. Coat one side with sugar. (Lay about 1/8 Cup sugar on flat surface and lay each flattened ball of dough on it, pressing gently).
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes, until bottom is lightly golden.

These are a classic of my Gram B's. I'm pretty sure I'm the only one in the family that has the recipe & makes them. It would be a shame to let it end with me!

BEST EVER FLUFFY SUGAR COOKIES



Best Ever Fluffy Sugar Cookies image

My friend would absolutely kill me if she knew I was putting this online. It took me 3 years to get this from her. They are so moist and almost cake like, I think this has to do with the amount of sugar. I dont even like sugar cookies but these are my second favorite cookie (my first is always the pumpkin chip cookies that my grandmother made).

FLUFFY "CUT-OUT" SUGAR COOKIES



Fluffy

Have you ever had those sugar cookies at publix that are really fluffy and cake like? Well hear is that recipe. I think its the sour cream that makes it so fluffy. I also roll them out maybe 1/4 in thick and under cook them a little but thats probably a personal preference. They do take a little work just like any cut-out cookies but this is something that anytime I ask someone in our family what I can bring for dessert they always say this! I use my kitchen aid but before that I would use my hand blender as long as I could and then mix the last part of the flour in by hand. Hope you enjoy.

Categories     Cookies     Egg     Bake     Kid-Friendly

Yield 2-3 dozen medium cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups butter, softened
2 cups white sugar
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
5 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon lemon extract

Steps:

  • ** Mix sugar, butter until smooth. Beat in eggs, vanilla, and lemon extract into sugar mixture. Then stir in dry ingredients with the wet ingredients. Refrigerate until firm (at least 1 hour). Roll out on floured surface area. Cut out cookies (1/4 inch thick). Then you bake at 375 degrees for about 8 minutes. For the frosting it is just confectioner sugar (about 2 cups), milk (1/8 cup) and teaspoon of vanilla. I just kind of eyeball it so it's the consistency of syrup. (Keep adding more confectioner sugar or milk depending on consistency).
