Bake your cut-out sugar cookies following recipe instructions, but it's always a good idea to keep an eye on the cookies in case your oven runs hotter or cooler. After you've cut out, baked, and completely cooled the cookies, the next step — and the most fun part. This easy cutout sugar cookie recipe is the best! It makes soft cookies with lightly crisp edges.
Instructions to make Cut Out Sugar Cookies:
- Cream the butter in a large bowl with the mixer until smooth and creamy, a minute or so. Add in the sugar and cream together another 2 minutes, until fluffy. Add in the egg, vanilla and almond extract and mix an additional minute or two.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt. Add about half into the wet mix and mix until just combined, then mix in the other half of the flour mix.
- Separate the dough into two seperate, equal portions. Roll each one out on parchment paper to about 1/4 inch thickness. Refrigerate rolled out dough at least 1 hour and up to 24 hours.
- Once dough is chilled and your ready to bake, preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2-3 baking trays with parchment paper.
- Take one dough portion out of the fridge and use cookie cutters to cut out shapes. Place shapes onto baking trays. Continue to re-roll dough until you've used it all. Repeat with second portion of dough.
- Bake 8-10 minutes (my oven runs hotter and my cookies only took 6 minutes), rotating the baking tray halfway through the cook time. They should be just barely colored and look slightly underbaked.
- Cool on the baking tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack. Allow the cookies to cool completely before frosting.
- Once ready to frost, simply whisk the frosting ingredients together in a medium bowl. If using food coloring, add that in also.
- Frost the cookies in any way you'd like. If using sprinkles, use right after frosting the cookie, before the frosting begins to set.
- Frosting will be completely set within 24 hours, then you can stack them. But you don't have to wait, you can eat them immediately.
- Store at room temperature for up to 5 days.
