Ingredients
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and add them one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
- Once the mixture is smooth and creamy, gradually add 5 cups of flour and mix well.
- Cover the dough and refrigerate until ready to use.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, consider using half butter and half margarine. You can replace the granulated sugar with brown sugar for a deeper flavor. If you're short on time, use a pre-made cookie dough mix, though it may alter the final taste slightly. Ensure your eggs are at room temperature for better mixing and rise.
Serving Suggestions
These Sugar Angels are delightful on their own but can also be served with a dusting of powdered sugar for an elegant touch. Pair them with a cup of tea or coffee, or serve alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream for dessert. They also complement the flavors of Doris' Best Ever Gingersnaps beautifully.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover Sugar Angels in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to two weeks or freeze for up to three months. To reheat, simply warm them in the oven at 350°F for about 5-10 minutes to restore their softness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use gluten-free flour for this recipe?
Yes, you can substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Make sure to choose a blend that includes xanthan gum to help with the texture. You might need to adjust the liquid slightly depending on the blend used.
How do I know when the dough is ready to bake?
The dough is ready when it is smooth and no longer sticky. After refrigerating, it should be firm enough to handle. If it feels too soft, allow it to chill a bit longer before rolling it out or shaping it.
Can I add mix-ins to the Sugar Angels?
Absolutely! Chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruits can enhance the flavor and texture. Just fold them in after the flour is incorporated for even distribution. Consider adding a sprinkle of cinnamon for a warm spice note.
