Cut-Out Sugar Cookies Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Popular Recipes. (Cut-Out Sugar Cookies Recipe). My mother-in-law uses this recipe every holiday season to bake cookies with the kids. I'm not much of a sugar cookie person, but these taste wonderful and hold up to shaping very well. They don't get dry and hard like so many other recipes. When cookies are cool you can ice and decorate. Store in a tightly sealed container with waxed paper between layers at room temperature for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months.

1 ¾ cups white sugar

3 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

Step 1

Beat egg yolks and almond paste together in a bowl using a mixer on medium speed until crumbly about 2 minutes. Add butter sugar and salt to almond paste mixture and beat until creamy about 3 minutes; reduce speed to low and gradually beat in flour just until blended.

Step 3

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 4

Place 1 dough piece on a lightly floured surface and roll into 1/4-inch thickness using a floured rolling pin. Cut dough into shapes using floured cookie cutters. Arrange cookies 1-inch apart on a large baking sheet. Form any remaining scraps into a disk and refrigerate.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool. Repeat with remaining dough.
