The amount of sugar cookies per person you should plan is on at least 3 to 6 sugar cookies per person.
Some people will eat up to 6 sugar cookies per person while others may be fine with 3 sugar cookies each.
I would plan on enough sugar cookies to have at least 6 sugar cookies per person and if you have leftovers you can give them away to others or take them home to eat later.
A sugar cookie is a cookie with the main ingredients being sugar, flour, butter, eggs, vanilla, and either baking powder or baking soda.
Sugar cookies may be formed by hand, dropped, or rolled and cut into shapes.
They are commonly decorated with additional sugar, icing, sprinkles, or a combination of these.
The biggest difference between sugar cookies and butter cookies is that sugar cookies are often rolled thin and cut out using cookie cutters.
While butter cookies will hold their shape while baking, the dough is much softer and for best results should be piped onto a baking sheet and then baked.
How do you make sugar cookies not spread?
Use a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
Coating your baking sheet with nonstick spray or butter creates an overly greasy foundation, causing the cookies to spread.
I always recommend a silicone baking mat because they grip onto the bottom of your cookie dough, preventing the cookies from spreading too much.
