Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1.5 cups granulated sugar (for dough)
• 1 large egg
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar (for rolling)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar (1.5 cups) until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and milk until combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until the dough comes together. Avoid overmixing.

Step 6

Scoop out 1-tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll each into a ball. Roll each ball in the granulated sugar set aside for rolling (0.5 cup) until fully coated.

Step 7

Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are set and the tops are cracked. Be careful not to overbake; the cookies should still be soft in the center when you remove them from the oven.

Step 9

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve and enjoy your delicious Leabelle's Sugar Crinkles! Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
