Mini Brain Dumps

Hello and welcome back to Baking With Eloise! I’m thrilled to be taking over Mini Brain Dumps for a bit of sweet fun. Today, I’ll be sharing a recipe for my absolute favorite treat—sugar cookies! They’re soft and sweet, with a touch of buttery goodness that’s as comforting as a warm hug.

These cookies are a bit like Lucy—simple but sweet, and just the thing when you need a taste of something familiar. The recipe is from All Recipes. Let’s bake some sweetness together!

Sugar Cookies:

Prep Time: 20 Minutes
Cook Time: 10 Minutes
Total Time: 30 Minutes

What You’ll Need:

• 2 3/4 cups flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

• Preheat oven to 375°F
• Stir flour, baking soda, and baking powder in a small bowl

• In a separate bowl, beat together sugar and butter until they are smooth

• Beat in the egg and vanilla, then gradually blend in the flour mixture until you have a crumbly dough

• Roll the dough in your hands into small balls and place on an ungreased baking sheet around two inches apart to ensure that the cookies do not spread into each other
• Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown, around 8 – 10 minutes (my oven is a bit on the colder side so I cooked them for around 12 minutes)
• Once cookies are done baking, leave on the cookie sheet for around 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to continue cooling
• Enjoy!

And there you have it, sugar cookies!

What are your thoughts? Is a sugar cookie what you imagined for Lucy? Or maybe you had a different dessert that you thought better encapsulates Lucy’s personality. Leave me a comment below with your suggestions!

Happy holidays!
