Copycat Pillsbury Sugar Cookies
I used to love making the Pillsbury sugar cookies that come in the tubes in the refrigerator section at the grocery store. They were easy to make & I liked the fact that they turn out flat, soft & just a little chewy. I have literally been trying different sugar cookies for years hoping to come across one that reminded me of Pillsbury sugar cookies. This recipe has been a keeper for me. I’ve made it many times now.
This recipe also reminds me of the sugar cookies they sell at Whole Foods in the fresh baked goods section. I used natural sugar sprinkles with no artificial dyes like the one made by India Tree. I used a size 24 cookie scoop made by Vollrath to make these. I recommend hand mixing because if they get over mixed they will turn out too flat. If you are using a mixer use at low speed.
- 3 cups all purpose flour
- 1¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 cup softened butter (2 sticks) I used salted
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- -sprinkles (optional)
- Preheat oven to 350 F. degrees.
- In a large bowl hand cream butter & sugar together. Add in eggs one at a time. Add vanilla.
- Mix in flour, baking soda, & salt.
- Drop by the tablespoon full onto ungreased cookie sheet. Add sprinkles (optional).
- Bake 10-12 minutes or until the edges are just slightly browning. Let cool before removing from cookie sheet.
