Classic Crave Sugar Cookies

 

*from Crave


Ingredients for the Cookies

  • 27 oz Flour

  • 1/2 Tsp Baking Soda

  • 1/2 Tsp Cream of Tartar

  • 3/4 Tsp Salt

  • 9 oz Sugar

  • 3.5 oz Powdered Sugar

  • 3/4 Cups Oil

  • 1 Cups Butter

  • 2 Eggs 
  • 1.5 Tbsp Vanilla

Directions for the Cookies


  1. Add the following ingredients directly into the mixer

  • ​Sugar

  • Powdered Sugar

  • Oil

  • Butter (room temperature)

 

MIX ON MEDIUM SPEED until butter is completely creamed and ingredients are all mixed together.  This may take a few minutes, the texture should be very smooth.

 

   2. Add the following to the mixer:

  • eggs

  • Vanilla

 

Mix until dough is wet and eggs are evenly mixed in. 

 

   3. Add the following dry ingredients to your mixer:

  • Flour

  • Baking Soda

  • Cream of Tartar

  • Salt 

 

MIX ON LOW ONLY. DO NOT OVER-MIX.  It is VERY important that you mix just enough to make sure all of the flour is incorporated (small trails of flour are ok).

 

   4.  Roll into 3.2 oz balls and place in sections on cookie sheet.

 

    5.  Using a glass or the bottom of a measuring cup, spray the bottom of the cup with cooking spray, dip in sugar, and press down on cookies until the edges begin to crack.

 

    6. Bake at 325 degrees in a convection oven (350 in a conventional oven) for 10-12 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown.

 

    7. Place on cooling rack.  Your dough will remain soft for up to 30 mins and may seem underbaked.  The dough will continue baking for a short period once removed from oven. Cookies should be chilled in the refrigerator before decorating.
