Want to make cut-out sugar cookies but don't want to wait for the dough to chill? This recipe is made for you! These no-chill cookies are both delicious and easy to make.
Using a hand mixer, combine ½ cup Butter (room temperature) and ¾ cup Granulated sugar for 2-3 minutes, starting at medium speed and gradually going to high speed.
Keep mixing while adding 1 Egg, 1 pinch Salt, 1 tbsp Vanilla extract, and ½ tsp Baking powder, and start adding spoon by spoon of 2 cups All Purpose Flour.
Place the dough on a flour-dusted surface. Dust the dough with flour, and using a rolling pin, roll out the dough to 0.5 cm thickness (1/4 inch).
Use a cutout shape with a simple form and punch in the cutouts.
Using a pallet knife or a butter knife, start removing the excess dough around the cutouts. Repeat the process with the excess dough.
Bake the cookies for about 10 minutes in a preheated oven at 180 °C / 356 °F until they start to brown.
Place the baked cookies on a cooling rack and let them cool entirely.
