Cooling & Serving
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. They will firm up slightly as they cool while remaining soft inside.
Serve plain for a classic treat, or let them cool completely before decorating with icing, glaze, or sprinkles if desired. These cookies pair perfectly with a glass of milk, tea, or coffee.
Tips & Storage
- Avoid overbaking to keep the cookies soft and tender.
- If the dough feels too soft to roll, chill it briefly before cutting.
- Store baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
- The dough can be made ahead and refrigerated for later use.
Simple, reliable, and endlessly versatile, these easy sugar cookies are a classic recipe every baker should have—perfect for cut-outs, decorating, or enjoying just as they are.
