These Butter Flavored Sugar Cookies are no joke. Trust me when I tell you that you can’t eat just one! Sugar cookies are great. In fact, they’re fantastic! But, something magical happens when you add butter flavoring to them (magical I tell you!). The neat part is that the butter flavor is not obvious. However, the butter flavor takes an ordinary sugar cookie to the next level …. beyond mouthwatering! 

The BEST Sugar Cookies Ever! With crisp edges, thick and soft centers, they melt in your mouth!

Pressing Sugar Cookies with Cup

These simple cookies don’t need to be chilled and stay wonderfully soft & chewy for DAYS! It’s my best sugar cookie recipe! They melt in your mouth and I’m drooling just thinking about them. And as with any classic, simple cookie that doesn’t hide behind frosting or anything, it really needs to be just right. Another little trick I use is to press the rounded dough with the bottom of a cup to create the PERFECT cookie shape and allow for even baking.

Why You’ll Love These Cookies

  • Soft centers with slightly crisp edges

The secret ingredient to these sugar cookies is butter-flavored extract! It adds a creamy butter flavor to the dough. Butter and sugar, what is there not to love? You MUST try this simple twist if you plan on making these cookies anytime soon. Plus, they are so easy to bake… that’s how I roll.

  1. Do you combine the 1 cup of confectioners sugar with the granulated sugar? Instructions don’t say.

    1. There was a typo in step #3. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. Correct, you add both sugars together with the egg.

  2. When do you add the white sugar sprinkles? Before you bake them or right after you take out of oven ?
