Sugar cookie
A sugar cookie is a cookie with the main ingredients being sugar, flour, butter, eggs, vanilla, and either baking powder or baking soda.
Sugar cookies may be formed by hand, dropped, or rolled and cut into shapes. They are commonly decorated with additional sugar, icing, sprinkles, or a combination of these. Decorative shapes and figures can be cut into the rolled-out dough using a cookie cutter.
In North America, sugar cookies are popular during the holidays of Christmas, Halloween, and Hanukkah.History
Although plain, sweet cookies have been made for centuries, sugar cookies became more common when sugar became widely available.
In the late 1950s, Pillsbury began selling pre-mixed refrigerated sugar cookie dough in US grocery stores, as a type of icebox cookie.
