Questions about Sugar cookies
How many sugar cookies make a typical portion?
A typical portion is about 33 g—usually one large cookie or a couple of smaller ones. That amount provides 144 kcal.
How do you stop sugar cookies spreading too much in the oven?
Chill the shaped dough for at least 30 minutes, and bake it on a cool, lined tray. Take the cookies out when the edges are set but the centres still look slightly soft; they firm up as they cool.
How long do you bake sugar cookies, and at what temperature?
Bake medium sugar cookies at 180 °C for about 8–12 minutes. For cut-out shapes, roll the dough evenly and remove them as soon as the edges turn pale gold, before the centres brown.
How should you store sugar cookies so they stay crisp?
Cool them completely, then keep them in an airtight tin at room temperature for about a week. For soft cookies, add a piece of bread to the tin; freeze baked cookies or dough for longer storage.
What can you decorate sugar cookies with?
Once cool, top them with royal icing, a simple icing-sugar glaze or melted chocolate, then add sprinkles if you like. For a classic cut-out cookie, press the shapes into granulated sugar before baking.
Can you freeze sugar cookie dough?
Yes. Wrap a dough disc tightly and freeze it for up to three months; thaw it in the fridge before rolling. You can also freeze cut-out shapes on a tray, then bake them from frozen, adding a minute or two.
How do sugar cookies compare with chocolate chip cookies?
Sugar cookies have slightly less energy and fat: 436 kcal and 19 g of fat per 100 g, compared with 451 kcal and 21.3 g in chocolate chip cookies. Chocolate chip cookies also have more fibre, at 1.5 g versus 0.9 g.
Can you replace butter in sugar cookies?
For a dairy-free version, use a firm plant-based baking block rather than a soft spread; the dough will hold its shape better. The flavour and browning may differ, so chill the dough well before baking.
