Golden sugar cookies are a classic in baking with roots in European cuisine, especially in countries like Germany and the United States, where sugar cookies are very popular during the holiday season. In Latin America, although the name may vary, in many places they are simply known as "sugar cookies" or "sweet cookies." In Mexico, for example, they are sometimes called "butter cookies" due to their soft texture and slightly buttery flavor. Meanwhile, in other countries like Argentina or Colombia, these cookies may appear with slight variations in ingredients, but they maintain that characteristic sweetness and golden color that sets them apart.
These cookies are appreciated not only for their delicious taste but also for their versatility, as they can be decorated in multiple ways, from icing to colored sugar. The golden touch is achieved through proper baking and the use of ingredients like butter and egg yolks, which provide that warm and appetizing tone. Furthermore, the combination of essences like vanilla and lemon gives them an irresistible aroma. They are perfect to accompany a cup of tea or coffee, and their crispy yet tender texture in the center makes them a favorite for both adults and children.
