Crispy Sugar Cookies Recipe
October 31, 2025 - To get that crisp rather than cakey texture, roll the dough to 1/8 inch, cut it into neat shapes or circles, and pull the pans from the oven when the edges turn pale gold. As the cookies cool on a rack, they firm into crackly cookies that shatter under your teeth—simple, elegant, and tailor-made for dunking in cold milk or serving with espresso. Sugar cookie recipes like this are passed down generation to generation.

Crispy Sugar Cookies Recipe | The Rustic Foodie®
January 28, 2024 - The result is a crispy sugar cookie that's a little chewy on the inside and crunchy on the outside. These cookies literally melt in your mouth. Here's what you'll need to make them. ... These cookies are made without baking powder. Baking soda is used instead of baking powder which is great if you don't have any baking powder laying around in your cupboard. This recipe also calls for cream of tartar which helps to provide that characteristic 'old fashioned' tangy buttermilk flavor.

Thin & Crispy Sugar Cookies - Garlic & Zest
March 21, 2023 - This small batch sugar cookies recipe makes about 25 thin, sweet, buttery cookies, which was enough to cure our sweet tooth for a few days. These super crispy sugar wafer cookies are egg free, and remind me of a cross between Pepperidge Farm Pirouettes (flavor) and Bordeaux (crunch-factor).

r/Old_Recipes on Reddit: Looking for thin sugar cookie, so crisp, light and melt in your mouth, dipped in sugar and smashed with a jar.
January 19, 2025 -

Hi everyone, we use to have this neighbor up the street from us her name was Mrs.Kitchen, believe it or not lol, but she gave my mom THE BEST sugar cookie recipe ever. It was crispy, light, melt in your mouth, sugar cookies. They didn't require alott of chewing because they just melted in your mouth, they broke really easily as well but baked up beautifully everytime. They were smashed down with a jar dipped with colored sugar, we usually made them for Christmas with green and red sugar. I remember the recipe had both oil and butter in it and maybe even some powdered sugar, and cream of tartar, there was a good amount of cream of tartar that gave them a tiny zip. I believe my mom probably was given the recipe back in maybe the late 70s but it could have been an old recipe.My mom ended up losing the recipe somehow and we've been trying to figure out where it was from, like a publisher or a public recipe to no avail. None of the recipes I have tried that had the right ingredients have been THE ONE. Any help appreciated in finding out which recipe it was.

r/Old_Recipes on Reddit: Old fashioned sugar cookie?
December 30, 2024 -

Nearly 35 years ago… omg, that made me feel ancient… I worked in Fox Valley Mall and they had a bakery on the upper floor around the corner from the place I worked that had the most delicious sugar cookies.

These were not a cut cookie but rolled and the balls had to be rolled in sugar prior to baking. Possibly flattened but I don’t think so. A crackly cookie with a softer (but not soft) center and just a smidge of lemon flavor.

To this day, I occasionally dream about these humble delicious cookies.

The texture was very similar to molasses ginger crackle cookies. They were huge, a good 5 inches in diameter and fairly thick and just awesome. Not pillowy like the frosted sugar cookies you can buy (which I dont like) and not flat and hard like the shaped sugar cookies you can buy (which are decent, but can’t hold a candle to these old-fashioned ones).

Does anyone have a recipe for a cookie like this?
