If you’re like me you love sugar cookies but sometimes hate the hassle that goes into making them. Well, today I’ve got an easy recipe.
INGREDIENTS:
- 1/2 Cup Butter, softened
- 1/2 Cup shortening
- 1 Cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 1/4 Cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, cream butter, shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla; mix well. Combine flour, baking powder and baking soda; gradually add to creamed mixture. Roll out on lightly floured surface and cut out shapes. Place on greased baking sheet and bake 10-12 minutes or until set. Remove to wire racks to cool completely. When cool you can frost or ice your cookies! I used the wilton royal icing recipe for these cookies. You can find the recipe here.
Super delicious and super simple. Now that’s my idea of a sugar cookie!
I’m excited to be partnering with some of my favorite food blogging friends today to bring you a virtual Christmas cookie exchange. We all love Christmas Cookie Exchange Parties because you go to the party with one kind of cookie, but come home with dozens of cookies to taste! There’s nothing better than seeing all of the cookies out on all of their plates and getting to go around and fill up your bags with other people’s delicious recipes. Here are 40+ delicious cookie exchange recipes so you can find the perfect cookie to take to the party this holiday season!
Be sure to follow along on the Cookie Exchange Pinterest board for year round cookie recipe inspirations!

These are so cute and look so yummy! I make sugar cookies every year, so I know the work that goes into them. Maybe I’ll give this recipe a try this year!

You’re welcome.
Very very cute! I love the sprinkles!
They add such a fun addition, especially for kids!
They look so soft! Sugar cookies are one of my least favorites to make. I’m not very patient, so the decorating part usually doesn’t happen. đ These are cute, though!
Found you on the Party Bunch. Thanks for sharing! đ
I know right? Thats why these don’t happen too overly often. đ
