- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Baking
- Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, drizzle with sweet almond icing on top, if desired.
- Enjoy your soft, bakery-style sugar cookies!
Notes
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for about one week. To make ahead, freeze for up to three months and microwave for a few seconds to warm before serving. Chilling the dough for 30 minutes helps to create thicker cookies.
