With Christmas just around the corner, you really need to try our Thermomix Sugar Cookies recipe!
This easy Sugar Cookies recipe is a great project to get the kids involved in, as they will love helping you roll out and cut the dough – and then decorate the biscuits of course! This recipe is based on a classic Sugar Cookie recipe which I’ve converted over to the Thermomix. They take just a few minutes to make and then you just need to let the dough chill before rolling and cutting into shapes.
My Tips for making this Thermomix Sugar Cookies Recipe:
- The time it takes to cream your butter with the sugar mixture can vary, especially if your butter hasn’t quite been bought to room temperature.
- The mixture will be very soft once it has been combined, and you will need a spatula to help remove it from your Thermomix bowl. This is completely normal.
- It’s very important to chill your dough for 45 minutes – 1 hour, as if you don’t it will be too soft to roll and cut into shapes.
- I like to use a metal egg flip to transfer my sugar cookies from the bench to my baking tray.
- You can freeze both the uncooked dough and the biscuits for up to one month.

What sort of icing do you have on these cookies, can they be frozen iced?

Hi Terese, they are just a plain icing, 1 1/2 cups of icing sugar with a teaspoon of butter and boiling water combined until you get the right consistency
