A simple and convenient sugar cookie mix that you can prepare ahead and use whenever you want fresh, delicious sugar cookies. Just add wet ingredients to this mix for perfect cookies every time.
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter with the granulated sugar and powdered sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter and sugar mixture, mixing on low speed until fully incorporated and a crumbly dough forms.
Transfer the cookie mix to an airtight container or a large resealable plastic bag.
Label the container with the date and store in a cool, dry place until ready to use.
To make sugar cookies from the mix: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of sugar cookie mix with 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until a dough forms.
Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place them 2 inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Flatten slightly with the bottom of a glass or your palm.
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until edges are lightly golden. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
