I've made roll out sugar cookies for years but for some reason my cookies have been turning out soft, does anyone have a recipe that you roll out and they are crisp. Thanks

Do you let them completely cool before putting them away?
We like them soft, so I put them in bags or plastic containers when they are still slightly warm to soften them up. Maybe leave the container slightly open to let the moisture escape? :D:D:D |

Try rolling them a tad thinner and bake a minute or 2 longer.

1/2 c/ shortning.1 c.sugar,1 egg,1/2teas/salt,1/2 teas baking soda,1/2 teas. baking powder, 2 tbls. milk,1 1/4 teaspoon vanilla or 1 teas. lemon&1 teas.vanilla,2 cups flour. These will make crisp cookies. I normally don't roll them, I make a ball, roll in sugar and flatten with a glass bottom covered in a clean damp hankie. Mix as usual, bake until golden brown. These are my sons favorite, but I always make them with lemon except at Xmas , little ones like to ice them so I just use vanilla then. Have used almond flavoring too.

If you are using brown sugar don't brown sugar make all cookies turn soft.

Carol, thanks for the recipe. I like the crisp ones too. Of course everyone else here likes them soft!

I would give you my sugar cookie recipe but they end up too tender to transport! I usually roll dough balls and smash because it's easier, but my sister tried to use it for cut outs-by the time she got them out they were all broken, but still tasted good! I always add almond and let the cookies go until lightly browned on the edges.
If you ice the cookies that may be softening them too. |
That cookie recipe sounds good, but I would also leave out the milk. It tends to soften the cookies. Also, using butter instead of margarine will make a crisper cookie. And definitely only use one egg. Store in a cookie tin, not a plastic bag.
