These thin and crispy sugar cookies are a star-studded treat that's perfect for celebrating award season. With a touch of almond extract and a sprinkle of colorful sugar, they're not only delicious but also visually appealing.
Ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour. 1/2 teaspoon baking powder. 1/4 teaspoon salt. 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened. 1 cup granulated sugar. 1 large egg. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. 1/2 teaspoon almond extract optional. 2 tablespoons milk. 1/4 cup colored sugar or sprinkles for decoration.
Instructions: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, followed by the vanilla extract and almond extract if using. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. If the dough seems too dry, add milk, one tablespoon at a time, until it comes together. Divide the dough into two equal portions, shape each into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until firm. Preheat your oven to 375F 190C and line baking sheets with parchment paper. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one of the dough disks to about 1/4-inch thickness. Use your favorite award-themed cookie cutters to cut out shapes from the dough. Place the cut-out cookies on the prepared baking sheets, leaving a little space between them. Sprinkle colored sugar or sprinkles over the cookies for decoration. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat the rolling and cutting process with the remaining dough. Once the cookies are completely cool, you can further decorate them with royal icing or frosting if desired. Enjoy your thin and crispy Award Sugar Cookies perfect for award season!
