This no roll sugar cookies recipe is a breeze to make! No rolling pin, no chill time and no fuss. Just easy soft sugar cookies you’re sure to love!
I love a sugar cookie recipe just as next as the next person. But when they’re easy sugar cookies – well, now you’re talking my love language!
This sugar cookie dough goes straight from the mixer onto a greased sheet pan. There’s no refrigeration time like a classic sugar cookie recipe. Drop sugar cookies onto the pan and get baking!!
No Roll Sugar Cookies Recipe
This recipe is one of my baking with kid recommendations. Unlike cutouts, no body parts or tree branches will be lost in the roll, cut and transfer process!
How do you decorate sugar cookies with sprinkles?
The beauty of this recipe is that you can dress these up no matter what the season by rolling them in sprinkles before baking.
As the cookies bake, they’ll spread into chewy sugar cookies with so much more flavor than rolled sugar cookies.

Can I Freeze Sugar Cookies Before Baking?
Yes, you sure can! In fact, I highly recommend it and this is a prime cookie dough for freezing. I have two methods for freezing cookie dough.
Method 1: How to freeze uncooked cookie dough
Make the recipe as directed and before baking, scoop the dough portions onto a waxed or parchment lined baking sheet.
Flash freeze them for 60-90 minutes in the freezer before removing.
Place the frozen cookie dough into a labeled gallon-sized freezer bag. I like to add the date the cookies were made, too. Remove excess air and lay flat to freeze.
To bake the cookies from frozen just follow the baking instructions and add a few minutes to the cooking time.
These sugar cookies taste perfect and delicious and this is my preferred method.
Method 2: How to freeze baked classic sugar cookies
You can also freeze these sugar cookies after baking! Be sure to cool the baked cookies completely.
Place in an airtight container with layer of waxed paper or parchment between each layer. They’ll keep for 2-3 months.
To enjoy, just pull out the desired amount of cookies and thaw – then eat!
