These is the best recipe for no-roll sugar cookies! It’s so easy you can make these chewy, perfectly cracked sugar cookies in one bowl and in about 30 minutes!

The best no-roll sugar cookies! You can make the cookies thin and chewy or soft and thick and all in one bowl! This is the perfect everyday recipe!And speaking of everyday recipes, this is one that I have memorized. I make it that often! In fact, I didn’t even realize they weren’t posted on the blog until yesterday when I was making a batch just for fun!

The best no-roll sugar cookies! You can make the cookies thin and chewy or soft and thick and all in one bowl! This is the perfect everyday recipe!It’s been such a crazy busy week around here that I haven’t had much creative time, so yesterday I baked up a batch of these no-roll sugar cookies just so I could photograph them. It made my heart happy to spend some time behind the camera and hey, I’m finally getting this amazing recipe posted too!

The best no-roll sugar cookies! You can make the cookies thin and chewy or soft and thick and all in one bowl! This is the perfect everyday recipe!What makes this the very best no-roll sugar cookie recipe you ask?

  • One bowl. That’s all you need to make this recipe. And there’s no mixer of any kind required. Just you, one bowl, and a spoon.
  • It only makes two dozen cookies, which is enough, but not overkill. You can also scale up the recipe if you need a few more!
  • The most obvious answer, there is no rolling required to make these cookies. You don’t even have to use a cookie scoop, but I’d recommend it since inconsistency in the size of the cookies can effect the quantity.
  • Cleanup is a breeze with the one bowl, one spoon, and baking sheets lined with parchment paper. You can literally make them everyday if you wanted to. *No judgment here.*

This is the perfect everyday recipe!So now you can probably understand why this is one of my favorite recipes of all time. And once you taste the buttery, sweet, and slightly crunchy cookies, I’m positive it will be one of your favorite recipes too. There really are no better no-roll sugar cookies, and I’m not just saying that!
