3 Ingredient Sugar Cookies

You're only three basic ingredients—butter, flour, and sugar—away from making these sweet buttery cookies. And we almost guarantee you have all three of them in your kitchen. Which begs the question... why aren't you making these cookies right now?! Also we know it might be cheating and adding a fourth ingredient but if you have sprinkles, add them on top before baking for a fun and festive look.

INGREDIENTS

1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 stick plus 2 tbsp salted butter, softened
1 cup all-purpose flour
Sprinkles (optional)

DIRECTIONS

First add 1/3 of a cup of granulated sugar to a large bowl then add 1 stick plus 2 tbsp of softened butter
Use and electric mixer to cream the butter and sugar together until fluffy and smooth
Now all you need to do is add 1 cup of all purpose flour and mix again until combined
The texture will be slightly crumbly but that’s ok
Use you hands to form and roll 1 inch balls of dough then place them on a lined cookie sheet
Pat the dough down to to form discs then you can add any kind of sprinkles you like or just leave them bare
Bake at 325 F for 15 minutes
These aren’t exactly like classic sugar cookies but they’ll satisfy your sweet tooth in a pinch
