No-Roll Sugar Cookies

These cookies are one of the best I’ve ever tasted, and they’re so easy to make! No rolling out of the dough and cutting shapes, just place balls of flattened dough on the pan and bake. A light, buttery cookie, with a soft and chewy inside, and a slightly crunchy outside make them the perfect sugar cookie.

1 cup unsalted Butter, softened
1/2 cup Powdered Sugar
1/2 cup Sugar
1 Egg
1 1/2 teaspoons Vanilla
2 1/4 cups All-Purpose Flour
1/2 teaspoon Cream of Tartar
1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
1/4 teaspoon Salt
Coarse Sugar Crystals or regular Granulated Sugar
Decorator Sugars (optional)

Heat oven to 375 degrees.
Combine butter, powdered sugar and 1/2 cup sugar in large bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy.
Add egg and vanilla; continue beating until well mixed.
Reduce speed to low; add flour, cream of tartar and baking soda. Beat until dough forms a ball.
Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Place 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Flatten to about 1 to 1 1/2 inches with bottom of glass dipped in sugar; sprinkle with decorator sugars, if desired.
Bake for 7 to 9 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.
Remove from oven and let stand 1 minute on cookie sheet; remove to cooling rack and cool completely.
