Your New Favorite Sugar Cookie Recipe   

With just a few simple ingredients, you’ll have warm and delicious cookies to share with your family and friends. Save this recipe because you may just need a full batch for yourself!  

Our inspiration for this recipe comes from one of our most sought-after scents, the Sugar Cookie Crunch Classic Wax Melt, which will keep around that delicious scent of fresh baked cookies long after the plate is empty. 

SUGAR COOKIE CRUNCH FRAGRANCE: Fresh-baked cookies frosted in creamy vanilla icing. TOP NOTES: Butter, Sweet Berry MID NOTES: Heliotrope, Sugar BASE NOTES: Malt, Vanilla Bean, Maple

You’ll Need: 

  • 1 cup butter (we like using sweet cream salted butter) 
  • 1 egg 
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract 
  • A dash of maple syrup 
  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar 
  • 2 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour (for a gluten-free option, simply use whatever flour alternatives you like) 
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda 
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder 
  • 1/4 tsp salt 

Prepare the Dough: 

Before you start mixing, make sure that your egg and butter are at room temperature. It’s very important that none of the ingredients are cold before you start mixing.  

Use an electric mixer to cream together the butter and sugar with an electric mixer. Next, beat in the egg, vanilla, and maple syrup. Once the batter is smooth, use a whisk to slowly add the dry ingredients. Mix well.  

Roll Out and Cut the Cookies: 

Prepare a lightly floured surface for rolling out the dough. You can either roll the dough into one-inch balls or use cookie cutters to create any desired shape.  

Scoop the dough out and use a roller to flatten if you want to cut out shapes. Place dough on a lightly greased baking sheet, at least two inches apart.  

Bake the Cookies: 

Preheat oven to 375°F. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until lightly golden. Allow cookies to cool on pan for a few minutes before removing with a flat spatula.  

Pro tip: remember that the cookies will continue baking on the pan even after they are removed from the oven, so if they look a little golden on the edges but doughy in the middle, you can still pull them out of the oven to avoid overcooking.  

Decorate:  

If you want to frost your cookies, let them cool completely before decorating. For an easy frosting, mix 1/3 cup of softened butter, 4 1/2 cups of powdered sugar, 1/4 cup of milk, and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract.  

Feel free to add food coloring to create any color of frosting you like. Add sprinkles on top and enjoy! Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container for up to 1 week, although we doubt there will be any leftovers.  

The next time you’re craving sugar cookies, either whip up this easy recipe or simply fill your home with the warm fragrance of our Sugar Cookie Crunch Classic Wax Melts. Either way, you won’t be disappointed.
