View postThis is the best sugar cookie recipe ever. No chilling, no spread, perfect edges, and still soft and chewy. They are the best fall sugar cookies to make!
I have been super busy in the kitchen this past week. The snow has arrived & so I have been finding that love for baking on chilly days again.
It’s nice to be in the warmth of the kitchen & look out the window to watch the snow falling. This time I made a big family favorite.

I was so excited to play with my new cookie cutters. I had this fall leaf shape for years. Then all of a sudden I couldn’t find it. I must have given it to my mom since she liked it so much. That’s the only thing I can think of because I would have never let go of it otherwise.
So when I found it again I picked one up & I bought the pumpkin shape too. The thing I like best about these is that they are super soft with a slight buttery crunch on the outer edges.
I poured 1/2 my bag of fall M&M’s into a baggie & handed it to my daughter with a hammer. This is totally optional.
She helped me get them all crunched up for the cookies. But you can add whatever sprinkles or toppings you like. Or yo can leave them with just the frosting.
I tried to send some of these to the firehouse with the hubs. He protested because he wanted them for here. 🙂
So only 4 actually made it to the station out of this batch. I will have to make more for the boys I suppose.
This recipe makes about 18-24 cookies but this will depend on how large or small you make them. With these large cookie cutters, it may be a few less.
Once the cookies have cooled, and the icing has hardened, place them in an airtight container, and keep at room temperature for up to 4 days.
I have not personally tried it, so I can’t say how that would turn out. But if you would like to try it, I suggest a product that offers a 1:1 swap. Please let me know how it turns out.
When making a traditional cut out sugar cookie recipe like this one, I like to keep the butter unsalted.
I’m not sure just yet. I have been meaning to give this a try but haven’t had a chance. If you do try this, I would recommend using a 1:1 flour like this one as I don’t believe it would require additional ingredients that are typically called for when trying to make baked recipes in a gluten-free version. Please come back & tell me how it turned out.
The official way is to spoon the flour into the measuring cup & level off. This makes sure the flour isn’t packed tightly into your measuring cup, adding more than you need, as that will make your recipe too dry.
However – if you fluff your flour with a spoon, then gently scoop the flour into the measuring cup, taking care to not pack the flour – that should work for this recipe.
Yes, absolutely. These cookies are perfect for gift giving or parties. So if you need more than 24 – I highly recommend doubling this recipe.
This fall sugar cookie recipe is SUPER EASY and delicious – and if you’re like me, then you maybe already have some of these items on hand OR maybe you have never made homemade sugar cookies before, & you might be a bit nervous – but you’re going to love these. I have made a list below of the things I absolutely can’t live without when it comes to making this cookie recipe.

So it is no surprise that I get really excited to make treats all decked out in red, white and blue. Check out these super cute 4th of July Cupcakes! I love them so much and I know you will too.
Try these using our colorful red, white and blue Fourth of July cupcake recipe!
What I love about this recipe is that we are starting with a cake mix. But then we change up the ingredients to make it taste more like a bakery-style cupcake.
It makes the process super easy and then you can get onto the fun part – decorating. But because this is a base vanilla cupcake and a standard buttercream frosting, you can actually change the colors used here to suit any holiday or event.
Check out how you can make these for your 4th of July!
You can store the unfrosted cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. Once they are frosted, I recommend refrigeration because of the butter and dairy in the frosting.
Keep in mind that if you are using sanding sugar or nonpareils for your sprinkles – the colors will bleed when stored in a moist place like the fridge. The jimmies and star sprinkles should hold up fine to refrigeration.
There are a couple of ways to do this. The first being that you can take the butter (& any other ingredients that need to be at room temperature) out, leave it on the counter for about 30 minutes while you prep for baking.
I usually start with all my chilled ingredients and pull everything I need out onto the counter before getting started – so I know for sure I have everything before I’m mid-way through I realize I’m out of something.
But sometimes it’s winter and that isn’t enough time to get the ingredients warmed up – OR – I’m just not that organized to plan ahead. It happens. So I have another couple of tricks.
I place the butter in the microwave – wrapped in the paper. (don’t do this if it is wrapped in foil) Then I microwave for 2 seconds – flip – go another 2 seconds – flip again – and continue for 2 seconds on each side.
This is usually enough to get it perfect – sometimes stopping before if it feels soft enough. Take care when doing this method – overly softened butter from the microwave WILL ALTER the end result of the recipe. Don’t over-do it.
My third method is to place the wrapped butter sticks in a zip-top bag and place it in a bowl of warm water. I do this with the eggs too. If the water isn’t too hot it can be THE PERFECT way to get “room-temperature” ingredients.
When your chocolate wafers become chunky rather than creamy, it is said that the chocolate seized. This is typically due to overheating or contact with water or steam.
In the first case, the chocolate is just burning from excess heat, but in the second case, there is a negative reaction between the chocolate (which is waxy and has many oils that are hydrophobic, or “water-fearing”) and the water, causing the components of the chocolate to separate.
Be sure to refer to the package directions when melting chocolate to prevent this from happening.
We like using milk or buttermilk instead of water in the cake mix because it makes the cupcakes taste more homemade. However, I have found though that store-bought buttermilk is sometimes a bit too thick. Check out the method below for how to make your own that is the perfect consistency.
To make your own buttermilk – Add 1 tbsp of white vinegar to a measuring cup and then fill the remaining with milk. Let sit for 2-3 minutes.
This is important – just because the package says “sprinkles” doesn’t necessarily mean that it is in-fact sprinkles.
I see a lot of people using colored sanding sugar that is labled as sprinkles.
This will not work as well because when that sugar gets wet – like when mixed into a moist dough or when placed in the refrigerator, it will sweat & the color will bleed out.
This cupcake recipe is SUPER EASY and delicious – and if you’re like me this time of year, then you maybe already have some of these items on hand OR maybe you have never made homemade cupcakes before, & you might be a bit nervous – but you’re going to love them. I have made a list below of the things I absolutely can’t live without when it comes to making this cupcake recipe.
