I love that you can make such flavorful, soft sugar cookies without any special ingredients!&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Unsalted Butter:&nbsp;<\/strong>I always stick with unsalted butter because the amount of salt in salted butter can vary quite a bit between different brands. By using unsalted butter, you control the amount of salt in your cookies. If you only have salted butter, just reduce the salt to a tiny pinch or 1\/8 teaspoon.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Granulated Sugar:<\/strong> In most of my cookie recipes I like to add brown sugar, but for these cookies, we&#8217;re sticking with just granulated sugar. You&#8217;ll want to beat the butter and sugar together for 1 to 2 minutes until they&#8217;re well combined before adding the rest of the ingredients.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Egg + Egg Yolk:&nbsp;<\/strong>I found the dough to be a little too dry with just one egg, so there&#8217;s an additional egg yolk to add moisture and make the cookies chewy. You can discard your leftover egg white or use it in another recipe like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/candied-pecans\/\">these candied pecans<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vanilla Extract:<\/strong> For a little extra flavor!<\/li>\n<li><strong>All-Purpose Flour:&nbsp;<\/strong>The base of any sugar cookie recipe. This cookie dough is very thick, so you&#8217;ll want to make sure you spoon and level your flour. I have a full post on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/how-to-measure-flour\/\">how to use the spoon and level method here<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Baking Powder &amp; Salt:<\/strong> For a little lift and flavor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-19936 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Soft-and-Chewy-Sugar-Cookies.jpg?resize=745%2C1118&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"A glass mixing bowl with sugar cookie dough with a beater and a pink napkin in the background.\" width=\"745\" height=\"1118\" data-pin-description=\"These Easy Sugar Cookies are incredibly soft, chewy, and they don't require any dough chilling.

Next, mix in one whole egg, an egg yolk, and the pure vanilla extract. I recommend stopping to scrape down the sides of your bowl and mixing again to ensure everything is well combined.<\/p>\n<p>Then, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix the two together until just combined. The cookie dough will be a little crumbly at first, but&nbsp;keep mixing and it will come together just fine. Once it&#8217;s ready, you&#8217;ll scoop the cookie dough onto baking sheets.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve found that these cookies bake up super thick, so I suggest pressing them down before you pop them into the oven. This will help the cookies spread and bake up more like traditional sugar cookies.<\/p>\n<p>The cookies will take about 10 to 13 minutes in the oven, you&#8217;ll know they&#8217;re done when the tops are set and the edges are lightly browned. I like to let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 to 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-19930 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Soft-and-Chewy-Sugar-Cookies-2.jpg?resize=745%2C1118&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Scoops of sugar cookie dough, on a metal baking pan lined with parchment paper, flattened and ready to go into the oven.\" width=\"745\" height=\"1118\" data-pin-description=\"These Easy Sugar Cookies are incredibly soft, chewy, and they don't require any dough chilling.
