Gordon Ramsay Sugar Cookie

Gordon Ramsay Sugar Cookie
Print Recipe

Gordon Ramsay’s sugar cookie is a classic vanilla-infused cookie made with butter, sugar, eggs, and flour. What sets his version apart is the focus on technique—chilling the dough, using quality ingredients, and achieving the perfect texture balance between soft and crisp. These cookies are easy to roll, shape, or cut and bake beautifully without spreading too much.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened

  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar

  • 1 large egg

  • 2½ cups (315g) all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • ½ teaspoon baking powder

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • Optional: ½ teaspoon almond extract for extra flavor

Instructions

  • Step 1: In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy using a hand or stand mixer.

  • Step 2: Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract if using, until fully combined.

  • Step 3: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet mixture.

  • Step 4: Mix until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix—stop once the dough comes together smoothly.

  • Step 5: Divide the dough in half, flatten into discs, wrap in plastic, and chill for 1 hour (or up to 24 hours).

  • Step 6: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

  • Step 7: Roll dough to about ¼-inch thickness on a floured surface. Cut out shapes with cookie cutters.

  • Step 8: Transfer cookies to baking sheets and bake for 8–10 minutes, until edges are lightly golden.

  • Step 9: Let cookies cool on the tray for 2–3 minutes before moving to a wire rack.
