Discover a timeless sugar cookie recipe with this perfectly balanced sweet treat. The soft, chewy texture comes from the clever combination of butter (or margarine) and cream, while the vanilla adds wonderful warmth. These classic cookies are simply flattened with a sugar-dipped glass before baking to create a beautiful crackled top. Quick to prepare and ready in under 10 minutes, these versatile sugar cookies are ideal for everyday snacking or holiday decorating!

Ingredients
1 1/2 C. sugar
1 C. margarine**
2 eggs
3 TBS. sweet cream, sour cream, or milk
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 tsp. imitation butter flavor or butter extract**

(continued in the next column ↗️)

2 1/2 C. flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
granulated or decorating sugar for finishing before baking
 
** I am going to make a wild guess that if you use butter instead of margarine you can eliminate the butter flavoring.
Directions
Preheat oven to 400°.
Cream sugar and shortening (margarine or butter).
Add eggs one at a time.
Add vanilla, butter flavoring (if you are using it), and cream (or sour cream or milk).
Add dry ingredients. (Although the recipe doesn't mention it, it is always a good idea to mix the dry ingredients before adding to the wet.)
Drop by teaspoon full on a "cooky" sheet. (I usually line mine with parchment paper.)
Flatten each cookie with a glass dipped in sugar.
Bake 6 - 9 minutes; watch carefully!
 
Servings\Yield
