Recipe Tips

For the best results, we recommend using room temperature butter and eggs when making these easy drop sugar cookies from scratch. This will help ensure that your dough comes together easily and your cookies bake evenly. If you prefer your cookies to be thicker, you can chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent spreading. Finally, be sure to let your cookies cool completely on the baking sheet before serving. This will help them set up and become crispy on the outside, while remaining soft and chewy on the inside. Enjoy!
