Ingredients

Dry Ingredients:

· 2½ cups all-purpose flour

· 1 tsp baking powder

· ¼ tsp salt

Wet Ingredients:

· ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened

· 1 cup granulated sugar

· ¼ cup milk (dairy or plant-based)

· 1 tsp vanilla extract

Optional Decoration:

· Powdered sugar for dusting

· Icing or sprinkles

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Dry Ingredients

· In a bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt.

· Set aside for later use.

2. Cream butter and Sugar

· In a separate large bowl, beat softened butter and sugar using a hand mixer or whisk until light and fluffy (about 3–4 minutes).

· This step ensures the cookies are soft and tender.

3. Add Milk and Vanilla

· Mix in milk and vanilla extract gradually until smooth.

· This gives moisture and flavor to the cookie dough.

4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

· Gradually fold in the flour mixture until it forms a soft, pliable dough.

· If the dough feels too sticky, add a little more flour.

5. Chill the Dough

· Wrap the dough in cling film and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

· Chilling helps in rolling the dough easily and prevents cookies from spreading too much while baking.

6. Roll Out and Cut Shapes

· Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F).

· Roll the dough on a lightly floured surface to ¼ inch thickness.

· Use cookie cutters to cut desired shapes.

7. Bake the Cookies

· Place the cookies on a lined baking tray with parchment paper.

· Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.

· Allow cookies to cool completely on a wire rack before decorating.

8. Decorate (Optional)

· Dust with powdered sugar, or use icing and sprinkles for festive designs.

· Let decorations set before storing or gifting.

Tips for Perfect Eggless sugar Cookies

· Use room-temperature butter for easy mixing and soft texture.

· Chill dough to prevent excessive spreading.

· Roll evenly to ensure uniform baking.

· Store in an airtight container; cookies stay fresh for up to 1 week.

Eggless sugar cookies are simple, customizable, and perfect for holidays or gifting. You can make them festive with icing, sprinkles, or even colored dough for a creative touch.
