Easy Cut Out Sugar Cookies | Just 5 INGREDIENTS! | No Spread Sugar Cookie Recipe

Easy No Spread Cut Out Sugar Cookies | Just 5 INGREDIENTS!
:: Cook Me Food ::

These sugar cookies are buttery and tender-crisp. They are made for cutting out into shapes as they hold their shape very well when baking. The dough is super easy to roll out and cut – and you only need just 5 basic ingredients. The cookies won’t puff up, so they are perfect for icing and decorating as you please. They are wonderful to serve plain too. NO SPREAD. NO PUFF. JUST 5 INGREDIENTS!

You'll need:
• 1 cup (225g) salted butter (room temperature)
• 1 1/2 cup (180g) powdered sugar/icing sugar
• 1 large egg (room temperature)
• 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 3 1/4 cup (422g) all-purpose flour

Cool completely. Serve. Enjoy!

:: HELPFUL HINTS ::

* Number of cookies will depend on cut out size and how thick you roll your dough. For thinner cookies, roll out your dough to 1/8" and 1/4" for thicker cookies.

* Bake thinner or smaller cookies for 8-10 minutes.

* Measure your flour correctly. Adding too much flour will result to crumbly texture or sandy taste when baked. Fluff the flour in the container before scooping it out. Lightly spoon the flour directly into the measuring cup until it mounds well above the top of the measuring cup. Using the back of the dinner knife (non-serrated side is facing the flour), sweep the knife over the top of the cup to remove the excess flour.

* Let your cookies cool completely before frosting them. If they are not cool, the icing will melt.

I have tried MANY recipes where they claim to be no spread cookies. To no avail. Until now, these truly are NO Spread cookies. Thank you so much for ending my search!!

I baked these cookies for the valentine's day and they were AMAZING! I used granulated sugar instead of powder sugar but it still worked

[christymemories]

I just tried them this afternoon and added gingerbread spices. Without exagerating they were the BEST cookies I've ever tried! This will be my go-to recipe. Thank you for sharing that!

[marthareynolds]

I just made these. Oh my! Soooo delish. I added lemon juice, lemon zest, and poppy seeds. Absolutely good!

I tried this recipe December 2024, it’s a lifesaver and this recipe definitely works! After watching over 20+ videos this one has to be the best sugar cookie video! I however only used three cups of flour instead because it was looking a little too much crumbly for me, but it still worked because my cookies tasted good. This channel need more baking videos. If someone can recommend me an icing / frosting video i would appreciate it. Thanks 🍪 ⭐️

This is a perfect and easy to follow recipe. I made it for Christmas and it gave me the perfect canvas for royal icing. Made them again today for Valentines, came out perfect, I can’t wait to decorate them! Thank you so much for the recipe ❤

I will tell you how wonderful this recipe is. I’m making Autumn cookies with my toddler and I had to put the dough in the fridge for 2/3 days before cutting shapes out. The first batch I made was in the oven only and they came out perfectly shaped, no spread and no bubbles and tasty. For the second batch, the oven stopped working halfway through. I ended up trying to bake them in the microwave after half baking in oven. After I got the oven to work again, I put them back in there once more. They came out perfectly shaped, albeit with a few bubbles.
Thank you so much for this recipe 🙏🏽🩵

This recipe is a life saver!!! I love decorating cookies, however I’m not the greatest fan of sugar cookies. I’ve taken local decorating classes and their secret recipe was just ok to me! This recipe is easy and was a joy to make! I added a touch of almond extract and were so good! I needed to make 30 cookies for a fundraiser and they all turned out so uniform! This is my new go to recipe! Now I can enjoy making cookies every holiday for my granddaughter and me to decorate!!! Thank you so much!!!

Wow, that was refreshing. A video without obnoxious background music selection like club music. Thank you, this was a great presentation and a pleasure to watch.

[shamWOWexpert]

Wow the rolling with paper trick is so smart!

[mamimima]

I finished making the dough and for some reason mine was dry and sandy, nothing a little water didn't fix! It smells AMAZING and am patiently awaiting the moment we can bake and taste! I love how you bake and after watching a few videos I'm staying!

[meagennmckinney]

Just made this recipe for our Christmas cookies and omg it was easy, fun, and I already had all the ingredients needed. Thank you so much loved watching!!

Echoing other comments about this actually being a "no spread" recipe, these are fantastic! We were so excited to make them that we didn't see the part about chilling the dough, but the cookies turned out perfectly crispy. We pressed sprinkles on top before baking to give them a festive look.

Literally tried it today for Christmas cookie decorating tmr and it’s so good. Super easy and very yummy. I added almond & vanilla extract and oooff sooo good

[taehalee]

This recipe is incredible! I've made three batches in the last two days and they turned out perfect every time! I only chilled for an hour and then cut the shapes out and cooked immediately and they were perfectly shaped, baked well and tasted amazing. THANK YOU!

I’ve watched more sugar cookie recipe videos than I’d ever admit to another human being. But I really like how you do your dough in parchment… I’m sure I got that idea somewhere & was probably here. Your cookies are perfect looking.

I just made this today for my bf’s bday, thankyou so much for the amazing recipe! I loveeee the result❤

[PpantyPprincess]

By far the best sugar cookie recipe I've ever tried!

Going to make buttercream frosting for these! They don't need it because they are that good! (I just want more of this yummy goodness with them!)

I had to stop eating these or I wouldn't have any for Christmas morning!

Thank you for the amazing recipe!

❤🎄☺️

Merry Christmas and happy holidays y'all! 😊⛄

For anyone wondering about the recipe and whether this really is a NO SPREAD sugar cookie recipe, well yes, yes it is. The taste and texture is similar to a shortbread cookie, its a no fail recipe. Also very forgiving. I would not recommend using granulated sugar with this recipe, although it would still be absolutely delicious, because the texture might change just a a little bit. You could add powdered milk to make it creamier(this is just my preference). And I use salted butter because this kind of recipe really needs it, balances out the sweetness from the sugar. Overall a great recipe.

I tried these today and they tasted very good! They really didn’t spread so that was good 😊 if the cookies are thick, bake them for 12-13 minutes but if they’re thin, I recommend 8-11 minutes!
