Saying sugar cookies is kind of a redundance, but I guess for a USAian the minimum amount is 50% and the flour & yeast is kind of special... do you use syrup instead of water?

Most cookies don't add water to the dough - there's very little moisture compared to a bread/cake recipe. If you add much moisture to the dough, it turns to steam while cooking, and you wind up with a much fluffier end result. Good for some things, but not cookies. Also, no yeast - baking soda and powder instead.

The recipe for those sugar cookies (in US units - sorry in advance):
1 1/2 cups butter (room temperature)
1 1/2 cups sugar
[Cream butter/sugar]
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
[Mix]
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 3/4 cups flour
(pinch salt, since I used unsalted butter)
[Mix as little as needed to fold in dry ingredients]
Form into 1 inch balls, place on ungreased sheet 2" apart
Cook at 350 degrees F for 12 minutes

So it's not so much that there's an absurd amount of sugar as there's nothing else really contributing to the flavor.

for the rest of the world who doesn't understand freedom units, here's panda's recipe, but in metric:

350 ml butter (room temperature)
350 ml sugar
[Cream butter/sugar]
1 egg
5 ml teaspoon vanilla extract
[Mix]
5 ml baking soda
2.5 ml baking powder
(roughly) 650 ml cups flour
(pinch salt, since he used unsalted butter)
[Mix as little as needed to fold in dry ingredients]
Form into (roughly) 2.5 cm balls, place on ungreased sheet (roughly) 5 cm apart
Cook at (roughly) 180 degrees C for 12 minutes

if I got everything wrong, don't tell me, I already know

double checked my conversions, like @Angry_Panda said

(I forgot " was supposed to be inches, not feet :facepalm:)

2.5 ml baking powder
(roughly) 650 ml cups flour

Form into (roughly) 3 cm balls, place on ungreased sheet (roughly) 60 cm apart
Cook at (roughly) 180 degrees C for 12 minutes
Double check your conversions - I think 1.5 cups should be more like 350 ml? Also, 2.5 cm balls 5 cm apart (good luck finding a 60cm sheet outside a commercial kitchen...).

We don't use liquid units for non-liquids, either grams or spoon type (soup spoon, dessert spoon, stock spoon, etc.). And the double apostrophe is not feet (0.3054m) but iches (2.5~cm).

Yeah, I'm not sure how to convert the volume to mass on the dry ingredients, so someone else will have to...

...weigh in. :boomer:
