Here are the ingredients you need to make these:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>butter<\/strong>, preferably unsalted butter because you will add salt to the dough, but if you have salted, it will work. Just adjust the salt in the recipe accordingly, otherwise, your cookies may be too salty<\/li><li><strong>granulated sugar<\/strong> though brown sugar would also work here and would add a mild caramel\/molasses flavour. Brown sugar may also lead to a slightly more chewy cookie<\/li><li><strong>large eggs<\/strong>, don't use smaller eggs because your cookie dough may be too dry and your cookies won't spread enough, but don't use extra large eggs because they could cause the cookie dough to puff too much as it bakes, leading to a more cakey cookie<\/li><li><strong>vanilla extract<\/strong> adds vanilla flavour to the cookies. You could use artificial vanilla extract, but use about half the amount since it may be more potent<\/li><li><strong>all-purpose flour <\/strong>is needed to bind all the ingredients together and give the cookies structure. If you don't use enough flour, your cookies may spread too much as they bake<\/li><li><strong>salt<\/strong> is really important to balance out the sweet flavour. Don't skip it. I like to use Diamond Crystal fine kosher salt, but table salt will work, though the cookies will be saltier and you may want to halve the salt in that case.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" data-pin-description=\"Learn how to make rolled sugar cookies with this easy recipe that you can cut out with cookie cutters.

Too much butter, sugar, or eggs can lead to cookies spreading as they bake. Not enough flour relative to those ingredients can also lead to cookies spreading.

Place the tightly wrapped doughs in a freezer bag and freeze for at least a month, if not two months. <br\/>When you are ready to bake cookies, defrost the cookie dough overnight in the fridge, then set it on the counter 30 minutes before rolling to allow it to soften a little to make rolling easier. Make sure your kitchen isn't too hot though. If it's too hot (like in hot\/humid summer months), reduce the time you leave the dough at room temperature.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1630276648901\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How do you store sugar cookies?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Cut-out sugar cookies like these should be stored in an airtight container at room temperature. You don't need to refrigerate them. This type of cookie is not soft and therefore won't dry out, but if it's humid, make sure to get them into an airtight container as soon as they have completely cooled to avoid them becoming soggy. You can freeze these cookies too.  If stored correctly, these can last a month.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" data-pin-description=\"Learn how to make rolled sugar cookies with this easy recipe that you can cut out with cookie cutters.
