Small Batch Soft Sugar Cookies & Super Easy To Make!

Good morning everyone! Welcome back to the blog. I wanted to share this super easy sugar cookie recipe I made yesterday.

The other night, my neighbor and her littles baked us some mini cupcakes and I will always bake something in return when I give you back the container. That’s just how I am haha.

I wanted to make cookies but I didn’t want to bake 378 of them lol. Those recipes are for the holidays when I hand them all out.

This recipe makes 6 large cookies. Literally PERFECT!

They didn’t take long to make either which is another plus.

I do plan to make these again for my home because I won’t be tempted to eat the entire batch lol.

I decided to melt the butter then let it cool in the fridge while I prepped everything else. This is basically a smaller version of my holiday time cookies.

It’s also a one bowl kind of deal which is another positive to this recipe.
Small batch, one bowl, only a few steps… You have no choice but to make these!

Ingredients

  

• 1/3 Cup Granulated sugar
• 1 TBSP Granulated sugar Keep on the side

• 1 Tbsp Vanilla extract
• ¼ Cup Unsalted Butter (Or 4 Tbsp) Melted

• Roll dough into 6-8 balls and roll each in the additional 1-2 Tbsp of granulated sugar.
• Place about 1-2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheet.

I plan to make these again today so we have some for our house. They will only last a day here, I know it. But they’re easy enough to make so it doesn’t matter!

I love how soft these come out too, just like my Christmas time ones.

I hope you enjoy these guys! I try and keep a balance of healthy and some not-so-healthy recipes on here. The beauty of balance!
