Discover the perfect Homemade Angel Cookies recipe with soft, airy texture and delightful flavor. Easy to make
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup butter, softened – Provides a rich and creamy base.
- 1 cup powdered sugar – Adds a light sweetness and helps achieve the signature soft texture.
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract – Infuses the cookies with warm, aromatic flavor.
2 cups all-purpose flour – Provides structure to the cookies while maintaining their tenderness.
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats for easy cleanup.
- Cream the Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Add Vanilla: Stir in the vanilla extract until fully blended.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Shape the Dough: Roll the dough into small balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
- Decorate (Optional): If desired, gently press sprinkles or sanding sugar onto the tops of the cookies for added decoration.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Avoid overbaking to keep the cookies soft.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
