  • Packaging Link: Each cup holds about 6-8 cookies and 1-2 ounces of frosting. 12 oz Plastic Yogurt Parfait Cups 

Pro tip: to change the flavor of your sugar cookie, replace vanilla extract for any other flavor.  (Check out LorAnn Oils for the best cookie and frosting flavors)

Prep Time: 30 minutes minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes minutes
Servings: 24

Equipment

  • Hand-held mixer
  • Stand Mixer

Ingredients

  • 1 cup 2 sticks unsalted butter, softened to room temperature (227g)
  • 1 cup white sugar 200g
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon almond extract
  • 3½ cups all-purpose flour 500g
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

Preheat and Prepare

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line baking sheets with parchment or silicone mats.

Cream the Butter and Sugar

  • In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar with a mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy (2–3 minutes).

Add the Egg and Extracts

  • Beat in the egg, vanilla, and almond extract until well combined.

Combine Dry Ingredients

  • Whisk flour, cornstarch, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually mix into the wet ingredients until a soft dough forms.

Roll and Cut

  • Roll dough between two sheets of parchment to ¼ inch thickness. Cut into shapes and place on prepared baking sheets.

Bake and Cool

  • Bake for 8–10 minutes until edges are just set. Cool 5 minutes on the pan, then transfer to a wire rack.

Decorate

  • Once completely cooled, decorate with your favorite icing.

Notes

These no-chill sugar cookies are meant to be simple, stress-free, and super reliable. Whether you’re baking for a holiday, a party, or just because, here are a few tips to make this your favorite cut-out cookie recipe:
  • No chill time needed. That’s right—none! You can roll, cut, and bake right after mixing the dough.
  • Roll them slightly thick. I like to roll the dough to about ¼ inch or even a little thicker. It gives you a soft center with just the right amount of structure for decorating.
  • Don’t wait for browning. These cookies should come out when they’re just set in the center. If the edges start to brown, they’ve gone too far.
  • Freezing the dough is a breeze. Roll it between two sheets of parchment, wax paper, or plastic wrap, then lay the slabs flat on a cookie sheet and freeze. Once frozen, stack or store them in a freezer bag. When you’re ready to bake, just pull out a slab, cut your shapes, and pop them in the oven—no thawing required.
  • Freeze baked cookies too. After baking and cooling, you can freeze the undecorated cookies in a single layer, then transfer them to a freezer bag. When you’re ready to decorate, let them thaw on a paper towel to soak up any moisture.
  • Watch your bake time. I bake mine at 350°F for about 10 minutes, but every oven is different. Smaller cookies may take 8 minutes, larger ones up to 11. You’re looking for a cookie that’s set but still pale.

    What kind of price do you charge for something like this in your area?

  12. Better Baker says

    August 22, 2024 at 8:45 am

    Hey there! Pricing can definitely vary based on ingredients, labor, and other costs, so it's important to find what works best for you. I recommend calculating your costs and setting a pricing strategy that reflects your hard work. It can be really empowering to know your numbers! I share how I do it in this video: https://betterbakerclub.ck.page/69b5c33223.

    This is very appealing and I'm going to give it a try for a fundraiser. Is refrigeration required? How do you cover the "dipping topper"?
