Super Soft Classic Sugar Cookies

Prep:35min

This recipe is was made at a high altitude of about 8000ft in elevation in my toaster oven. These are such a classic yet delicious melt in your mouth sugar cookie. If you are baking this in a traditional oven you may try a higher temperature such as 350°F or you can try the temperature listed for a longer bake time if necessary. The dough will be slightly moist, sticky and soft but moldable & hold their form until they make it into the oven. These are rolled into balls and will bake down into cookie shapes. This recipe is not ideal for cut out sugar cookies.
