Adding Sugar to Rolled Sugar Cookies

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Jennifer Cail. On behalf of Expert Village,I'm going to show you how to make a variety of different rolled sugar cookies. Now that our butter has been beaten, our next step is adding our sugar because what would sugar cookies be without the sugar. We are going to add 1/2 cup of sugar (granulated white sugar) to our butter you want to carefully measure it and then flatten out the top. We are going to pour this in there and then once again, we are going to start on a slow speed on our mixer. Now while you're mixing this, you are probably going to start out with some clumps of sugar and butter. This is fine, You want to mix through that probably at least once through mixing. You are going to have to scrape down the sides of your bowl with you spatula, so that the butter is fully incorporated into the sugar. We are going to start off slowly before moving up to faster speed. With our sugar beaten into our butter, you can see that it's gotten a nice creamy texture. It looks very similar to what the butter did when it was beaten by itself. This is how you know that the sugar is fully incorporated because it won't be grainy or lumpy as when you first start mixing it. So with that, it's time to move on to our next step."
