Sugar Cookie Variations

Cinnamon and Sugar – After you slice your cookies, sprinkle them with a cinnamon and sugar combination to have a fast and simple snickerdoodle cookie. 3 Tablespoons of Sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of Cinnamon is an efficient start line. Retailer any leftover sugar combination in a mason jar within the pantry to your subsequent batch (or to make cinnamon and sugar toast!)
Sprinkles – A enjoyable technique to make any cookie festive is so as to add totally different sprinkles or coloured sugar to the highest earlier than baking.
Dipped Cookies – After your cookies have been baked, dip them into melted chocolate. (May very well be white chocolate or brown chocolate.) For a enjoyable twist, solely dip half of the cookie. If you wish to actually change issues up, you may then dip them into peppermint items, pistachios, or toasted coconut to create a number of taste combos.
Fruity Twist– After your cookies have been baked, high with the entire toppings from this Fruit Pizzas Dessert Recipe to make mini fruit pizzas!
Dried Fruit – Add dried cranberries or blueberries for one thing actually totally different.
Completely different Flavors – As an alternative of vanilla extract, attempt almond extract, orange zest, lemon zest, peppermint extract, or one thing else for a very new taste.
Salted Caramel– Drizzle this Easy Homemade Caramel Sauce on high of your baked cookies and sprinkle with somewhat sea salt to make this scrumptious taste mixture.
Frost Them– High baked cookies with some scrumptious frosting like this Strawberry Frosting or Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting for added sweetness and taste.
Lemon Cookies – Drizzle somewhat Lemon glaze on high and sprinkle with somewhat lemon zest for a tart and candy twist.
