Vanilla Sugar Crinkle Cookies
Nothing’s better than a classic sugar cookie. Except maybe a sugar cookie dipped in powdered sugar with wonderful crunchy “crinkles”. The buttery goodness and the real vanilla make these cookies heavenly. The distinctive “crinkle” is produced from the combination of baking powder and baking soda.
Did you know that crinkle cookies “crinkle” and spread better if the dough is at room temperature? If the dough is cold it takes more time for the butter to melt. As a result, the dough will set before the butter is melted and the cookie has spread out and “crinkled”. Good news for us since we can save the time of sending them for a stay in the refrigerator.
Rolling the cookie dough in the sanding sugar or granulated sugar helps it “crinkle” by absorbing moisture and dissolving early in the oven. Later it re-crystalizes and pulls even more moisture from the top of the cookie.
