How Good Is Betty Crocker Marys Sugar Cookies Recipe? Lets Bake and Find Out

Okay, so I decided to try out this Betty Crocker Mary’s sugar cookie recipe the other day. I’m not much of a baker, but I thought, “How hard can it be, right?” Turns out, it’s a bit more involved than just throwing some stuff in a bowl. But hey, I learned a few things along the way.

First off, I gathered all the ingredients. Flour, sugar, butter, eggs, the usual suspects. The recipe calls for shortening too, which I don’t usually use, but I figured I’d follow the instructions to the letter. Well, almost. I may have used a bit more vanilla than it called for because, who doesn’t love vanilla?

Then came the mixing. I creamed together the butter and shortening with the sugar until it was all light and fluffy. That took a bit of elbow grease, let me tell you. Next, I beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the dry ingredients. The dough was pretty sticky, so I floured my hands and the countertop to keep it from sticking too much.

Now, here’s where I might have messed up a little. The recipe says to chill the dough for at least an hour, but I was impatient. I only waited about 30 minutes. It was still pretty soft, but I managed to roll it out and cut out some shapes with my cookie cutters. I have these cute little star and heart-shaped ones.

Baked the cookies for about 8-10 minutes, until the edges were just starting to brown. They smelled amazing, by the way. Like, seriously, my whole apartment smelled like a bakery. I let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

And here’s the moment of truth. They are a little wonky, not gonna lie. Some are a bit thicker than others. But you know what? They taste pretty darn good! They’re sweet, buttery, and have that nice hint of vanilla. I’d say they’re perfect with a glass of milk or a cup of tea.

I think my main problem was the chill time. Maybe next time I will follow the recipe and leave it in the fridge for the full hour. All in all, though, it was a fun little baking adventure. I mean baking cookies is always fun right? And I got to eat cookies at the end, so that’s a win in my book.

  • Don’t be impatient like me. Chill that dough!
  • Don’t be afraid to add extra vanilla.
  • Flour is your friend when dealing with sticky dough.
  • The cookies might not look perfect, but they’ll still taste delicious.
  • Freshly baked cookies and a cup of tea, what a nice combination.

So, there you have it. My experience with Betty Crocker Mary’s sugar cookies. It wasn’t perfect, but it was definitely a learning experience. And hey, I ended up with a batch of tasty cookies, so I can’t complain too much.

Next time, I might try adding some sprinkles or frosting to make them a bit fancier. Or maybe I’ll try a different recipe altogether. Any suggestions? Let me know in the comments!

My tips for baking:

I don’t know much about baking, but through this time of practice, I found that if the dough is too sticky, I can put it in the refrigerator for a while to make it easier to shape. Don’t worry about the shape of the cookies, they are delicious anyway!
