These are the kind you’ll often see around the holidays. I love the Pepperidge Farm sugar cookies that are similar to these (the Homestyle not the soft), I remember one Christmas when I discovered them I bought like eight bags because I thought they were a seasonal thing and wouldn’t last long. These however are even much better than those, these are fresh and of course fresh is better.
With this cookie dough batter, if you find that it is too sticky, add in a little more flour. If you find that it is too dry you can add a tablespoon of milk. The dough for these cookies is pretty forgiving if it needs to be adjusted slightly. Also use the scoop and level method – I never use the spoon and level method unless I specify in the recipe so I thought I’d throw that out there. If you are wondering why I’ve often frequently switched to unsalted butter vs salted – yes I still like to use salted when baking and I’ve noticed within the U.S. the salt amounts in the butter are very similar, but outside of the U.S. I’ve heard the butters contain more salt in some countries so I don’t want some people ending up with a cookie that’s too salty. These cookies may likely remind you of that classic sugar cookie you’d reach for in your grandmothers cookie jar. They are old fashioned and perfect for dunking in milk so be sure you have some stocked in your fridge. Enjoy!
