Absolutely The Best Sugar Cookie Recipe EVER!
I made these cookies to give to our neighbor Randy as a gift. I hope he gets these soon, if they stay in this house any longer I’ll have to make another batch ! OH my these are good!
The recipe is suppose to make 24 cookies , mine only yielded about 20. I’m pretty sure that my 2 tablespoons of cookie dough kind of grew as I went alone. I have a tendency to heap my Tablespoons when measuring the dough out instead of using level Tablespoons full. I only put 6 dough balls to a baking sheet because the cookie dough spreads out quite a bit.
The recipe gave me BIG, round, soft and chewy cookies, just like you’d buy in a bakery. There’s no doubt about it, These are Absolutely The Best Sugar Cookies EVER! Enjoy!

Absolutely The Best Sugar Cookie Recipe EVER!
Absolutely The Best Sugar Cookie Recipe EVER! This recipe makes BIG, round, soft and chewy sugar cookies, just like bakery style cookies.
Servings: 24
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups sugar plus more for rolling the dough in
- 2 ounces cream cheese room temperature and cubed
- 6 Tablespoons butter melted and warm
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 Tablespoon whole milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper, if you don't have parchment paper, lightly oil the baking sheet.
- Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl.. Set aside.
- Place the sugar in a medium bowl. Place the cream cheese on top and pour the melted, warm butter over the top. Whisk to combine. There may be a few lumps of cream cheese that remain but they'll be incorporated when other ingredients are mixed in.
- Whisk the oil in until well incorporated.. Stir in the egg, vanilla, and milk.
- Add the flour mixture and fold it in until a smooth dough forms.
- Roll 2 tablespoons of dough into 24 balls. Roll each ball into the extra sugar. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet. Using the bottom of a flat drinking glass, slightly flatten each cookie until they are 2 inches in diameter.
- Bake for 11-13 minutes, turning the pan halfway through baking. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes before removing to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Notes
.If you aren't using parchment paper and are oiling the baking sheet don't roll the cookie dough ball in sugar completely. Dip half of the dough ball in sugar and place the ball (the portion without sugar on it) on the cookie sheet, leaving the sugared portion half on top not touching the pan.

How did the cookies turn out Hope?
I found this recipe on Pinterest last week and made them over the weekend. They are awesome! I did add some additional flavorings;fresh orange zest, almond extract, and grated nutmeg I have printed out some other recipes, knowing that they will be as delicious. .I also subscribed to Warm Oven. Looking forward to a future association. 🙂
Thx Bunny!
These are so, so delicious! I have a secret family recipe we’ve been making for generations for rolled & cut sugar cookies I typically make exclusively, but I was looking for something more simple this year, and this recipe did not disappoint! I made them for an Easter treat for friends. I did modify the extract- I used 1t lemon extract & 1t vanilla because I’m frosting them with a little dab of coconut lime buttercream for the ultimate spring treat!
Best sugar cookie recipe hands down!
These are hands down THE BEST SUGAR COOKIES!!! OMG I just made them and they came out perfectly. I tried to put 7 on my first batch in the oven. So 1 came out misshapen. No problem I got to eat it while the others baked. I had to comment on the fact that you can taste the sugar and butter. Which for me is very important. I don’t like sugar cookies that taste like flour. These are definitely my new go to recipe for sugar cookies. Thank you so much for sharing your recipe. They’re AWESOME 😍🤩
Wow, this made my day!! Thanks so much for sharing! I love sugar cookies, but it is hard to come across the best sugar cookie recipes!
Hands down the Absolute best sugar cookie recipe. For a different and delicious dessert, We also spread with cream cheese and fruit. Amazing !!!
OH NICE OPTION Tish, that sounds great! A little mini dessert, I love the idea!
These are simply sugar cookie perfection! The cream cheese adds a subtle flavor that takes these cookies over the top. I’m not looking for another sugar cookie recipe. My boys and I agree this is the one!
Fantastic Meredith, and tell your boys, Bunny appreciates the fantastic review!
Amazing! Just what I was dreaming about 🙂 Family and friends loved them!
Wonderful Megan! It really is a one of a kind cookie recipe isn’t it and quite dangerous, you want to eat the whole stinking batch!
