Notes

  • Do not melt your butter. The butter for your sugar cookies needs to be softened, not melted. Softened means at room temperature. Melted butter will cause your cookies to be thin. 
  • Use a glass baking pan. A metal baking sheet will cause your sugar cookie bottoms to brown more. A glass baking pan will help keep your cookies soft and chewy. 
  • Be careful not to overbake your cookies. Bake your sugar cookies until their edges start to slightly brown. Overbaking your cookies can cause them to harden and become tough. 
  • Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent your cookies from sticking. When you use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat it  will help remove your cookies smoothly and easily from the baking sheet.  No need to scrape your cookies off the pan when you use parchment paper or a baking mat.
