We have included all the steps for you to make your very own sugar cookie that tastes just like the ones from Great American Cookie Company. So, let's get started!

Ingredients You Will Need

To make these delicious sugar cookies, you will need the following ingredients:

• 2¼ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
• 1¼ cups sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ¼ teaspoon almond extract (optional)
• 1 cup white sugar for rolling

Instructions

Before you start baking, you will need to preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Then, you can start preparing the ingredients. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

In a large bowl, use a hand mixer to beat together the softened butter and 1¼ cups of sugar until creamy and combined. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, and then add the vanilla and almond extracts. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a dough forms.

Now, it's time to roll the dough. On a clean, flat surface, sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of sugar. Scoop out the dough and make small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Roll the dough balls in the sugar to coat them completely. Place the dough balls on a lightly greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.

Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Let the cookies cool for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Enjoy your freshly made Great American Cookie Company sugar cookies!

Tips & Tricks

These delicious sugar cookies can also be decorated with icing and sprinkles. If you have leftover dough, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to a week. When you are ready to bake again, simply roll out the dough and cut out desired shapes. You can also freeze the dough for up to 3 months.

These copycat sugar cookies are a great way to enjoy your favorite treat from the Great American Cookie Company. Now you can make them in the comfort of your own home, and enjoy them with family and friends. Enjoy!
