I'd like to find another one that's just a bit better. I'm not as concerned with it holding its shape...I'm more concerned with flavor-profile. Warning: It could be my taste-buds are so enamored with chocolate that a simple sugar cookie simply doesn't cut it. I do like how Penny's doesn't get... More on recipeswap.org

Mine is super simple and works well. It's really easy to play about with and try different variations. 3 parts Flour... 2 parts Butter... 1 part Sugar How much flour will depend on your exact ingredients so add more as necessary. It should be dry enough to roll around and shape in your hand and peel it off a dusted surface without sticking. It shouldn't be so dry that it cracks when you're shaping it. I usually end up needing to add quite a bit more flour cos I use a really soft butter. I cook them at about 160°c for 10 ish minutes (depending on size and thickness). I like them rather soft so I pull them out just as they're starting to brown a little on the edges. The tops are usually still a bit wet, they dry as they cool. You can also leave them in for longer to get more crunch. You can take them out, try one and put them back if it's not done enough for you. I don't bother chilling them before I cook them, but you certainly can. You should also be able to freeze them. If you want to make them chocolate a bit like Oreos you can substitute some of the flour for dark cocoa powder. I like to do that and then sprinkle them with some sugar when they're cooked and cooling. More on reddit.com

I have the bomb: 2 sticks soft butter 1 c sugar 1 egg 1 tsp vanilla 2 tsp baking powder 4 c flour 3 Tb milk or more till nice consistency Beat butter and sugar till creamy. Add egg and vanilla. Add dry ingredients alternately with milk. Will look a lil dry in the beginning. Don't over beat though. Roll out (half the dough at a time) on lightly powdered sugar surface. (Better than a floured surface) Cut out shapes. Bake at 350 for about 8 min. Better to under bake than over. They'll be nice and soft after cooling. Re roll scraps to cut but not more than once. Chilling the dough before cutting out is best. More on reddit.com

Here's the thing and this is a wild coincidence. I have actually made BOTH of the recipes linked for you today. They're good, don't get me wrong. But this one is the game changer. The cream cheese in the cookie makes them absolutely mind-blowing. I never make the frosting, but the cookie base is amazing. https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/cream-cheese-sugar-cookies/#tasty-recipes-70077 More on reddit.com
