This chewy sugar cookie recipe makes delicious cookies that are crisp on the outside and very chewy on the inside. Just the way I like them! These cookies are meant to be shaped or dropped. This recipe can easily be made into snickerdoodle cookies by rolling the dough in cinnamon sugar before baking.
Ingredients
- 2.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 cups white sugar
- 1.25 cups margarine
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.25 cups white sugar for decoration
Instructions

Stir flour, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl. Beat sugar and margarine together with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth.

Beat first egg into mixture. Beat second egg into mixture along with vanilla extract; add flour mixture and stir until dough is just combined.

Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
-

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Roll dough into walnut-sized balls; roll in 1/4 cup of sugar.
-
6
Place cookies 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets and flatten slightly.

Keto Spaghetti Squash with Bacon and Blue Cheese
Turn plain old spaghetti squash into a keto meal with the addition of bacon, mushrooms, spinach, and blue cheese. I like to double the blue cheese, especially when using a milder variety. Carbs in spaghetti squash can add up quickly, so use a small squash that's approximately 2 pounds.
