Step-by-Step Instructions for Soft & Chewy Sugar Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 ¾ cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and ½ teaspoon of salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together ¾ cup of softened unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Blend in one large egg, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and ½ teaspoon of almond extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined.
- Scoop small portions of dough and roll them into balls. Roll each ball in a small bowl filled with extra granulated sugar.
- Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each. Bake for 8-10 minutes.
- After baking, let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Notes
For best results, ensure butter is at room temperature and avoid overmixing to maintain softness.
