Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to gather from your pantry. Simple, wholesome ingredients for simply delicious cookies!

125 g butter: Make sure it’s softened to room temperature! This helps it cream beautifully with the sugar.
125 g margarine: Using a mix of butter and margarine often gives a lovely texture and tenderness to sugar cookies. Let this soften alongside your butter.
50 g icing sugar: Also known as powdered sugar or confectioners’ sugar. It dissolves easily and contributes to that melt-in-your-mouth texture.
2 egg yolks: We’re just using the yolks here for richness and tenderness. Save those whites for another recipe!
350 g flour: Good old all-purpose flour is perfect for these cookies. Make sure to measure it correctly – don’t pack it into your measuring cup if using cups instead of grams!
2 tbsp milk powder: This might seem like an unusual ingredient, but it adds a subtle richness and helps with browning. Don’t skip it if you can help it!

How to Make It

Note: The detailed step-by-step instructions for mixing, shaping, and baking these delicious cookies were not provided in the original request. Typically, a recipe using these ingredients would involve creaming together the softened fats with the sugar, beating in the egg yolks, then gradually adding the dry ingredients (flour and milk powder) until a dough forms. The dough is often chilled before shaping and baking. If you can provide the instructions, I would be delighted to add them here to complete the recipe!

Substitutions & Additions

Want to play around with the recipe or add your own spin? Here are a few ideas!

Extracts: Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract, almond extract, or even lemon extract to the wet ingredients for extra flavor.
Zest: For a bright, fresh twist, add the zest of one lemon or orange when you add the wet ingredients.
Sprinkles & Chocolate: Once shaped but before baking, you can press sprinkles, mini chocolate chips, or chopped nuts into the tops of the cookies.
All Butter: While the mix of butter and margarine is classic here, you could try using all butter (250g total) for a slightly different flavor profile. Just make sure it’s softened!

Tips for Success

Even simple recipes have little tricks that make them shine. Here are a few pointers for perfect sugar cookies every time:

Don’t Overmix: Once you add the flour, mix only until just combined. Overmixing can develop the gluten too much, leading to tough cookies.
Chill the Dough: If the dough feels too soft to handle or roll, a quick chill in the fridge (30-60 minutes) can make a huge difference. This also helps the flavors meld and prevents excessive spreading during baking.
Use Parchment Paper: Lining your baking sheets with parchment paper makes cleanup a breeze and helps the cookies bake evenly without sticking.
Watch the Baking Time: Sugar cookies can go from perfectly done to overbaked quickly. Look for the edges to be lightly golden. They should still look pale in the center.

How to Store It

Once your delicious cookies are completely cooled, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They should stay fresh and tasty for about 5-7 days. If you’re making dough ahead of time, you can wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate it for up to 3 days, or freeze it for up to 3 months. Thaw frozen dough in the fridge before shaping and baking.

FAQs

Why use both butter and margarine?

Using a mix of fats can give a unique texture. Butter provides great flavor, while margarine (especially stick margarine) can contribute to tenderness and a slightly different spread.

Can I roll these out and use cookie cutters?

Based on the ingredients, this dough should be suitable for rolling and cutting, especially after chilling. If the dough is sticky, lightly flour your surface and rolling pin.

How do I know when the cookies are done baking?

Look for the edges to be set and lightly golden. The centers should still look a bit soft and pale. They will continue to set up as they cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
