3-Ingredient Sugar Cookies

You are only three basic ingredients—butter, flour, and sugar—away from making these sweet buttery cookies. And we can almost guarantee you have all three of them in your kitchen. Which begs the question... why aren't you making these cookies right now?! What could be easier than 3 ingedients? These sugar cookies are easy, delicious, and straight to the point!

Now these won't taste exactly like a classic sugar cookie but they actually provide their own unique texture and look that we love! 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.

Test Kitchen Tips:

1. Place them at least two inches apart on the baking sheet—they spread a lot! 
2. The texture is slightly crumbly and similar to shortbread. If you'd like a softer sugar cookie, consider the cookie dough for our Creme Brûlée Sugar Cookies.
3. You can decorate them using our sugar cookie icing!
