Ingredients
- 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- ½ cup raspberry sauce (store-bought or homemade)
How to Make Classic Sugar Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the fresh raspberries, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked; they will firm up as they cool.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, drizzle with raspberry sauce before serving.
Tips for the Best Results
- Ensure your butter is softened to room temperature for easy creaming.
- Don’t overmix the dough once you add the flour; this keeps the cookies tender.
- For a more intense raspberry flavor, consider adding a few extra berries on top of the cookies before baking.
- If you prefer a thicker cookie, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
Easy Variations
- Substitute half of the all-purpose flour with almond flour for a nutty flavor.
- Add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the dough for a citrusy kick.
- Use chocolate chips instead of raspberries for a classic chocolate chip cookie twist.
- Experiment with different extracts, such as almond or coconut, for a unique flavor profile.
What to Serve With It
- A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delicious dessert pairing.
- A dollop of whipped cream to complement the sweetness.
- Fresh fruit salad for a light and refreshing side.
- A cup of tea or coffee for a cozy treat.
Storage and Reheating
Store the sugar cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. If you want to keep them longer, freeze the cookies in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer them to a zip-top bag for up to 3 months. Reheat in a 300°F (150°C) oven for 5-7 minutes to bring back their fresh-baked taste.
