How To Make Sugar Cookies At Home

Uh....it's been a while. My life got turned upside down....it's hard to grasp it's over. 

Well...

Maybe some sugar cookies can turn things around. Probably not :) but here it goes anyways...

So what do we need to make sugar cookies at home? First we need a recipe. There is this site dedicated to sugar cookie recipes but it's still kind of empty. I will post a recipe here. So to the ingredients...

I'm sorry if this post is a bit messed up..so am I.

Ingredients

• 250 grams granulated sugar
• 250 grams powdered sugar
• 250 grams butter
• 250 milliliters vegetable oil
• 2 eggs
• 1 tea spoon vanilla
• 1 tea spoon salt
• 1 tea spoon cream of tartar
• 1 tea spoon baking soda
• 1 1/4 grams flour
• extra sugar for pressing cookies (use can usered and green for Christmas cookies)

Instructions

1.      Pre heat oven to 375°F (or 175 degrees C).

2.      Cream together the granulated sugar, the powdered sugar, the butter, and the cooking oil. Beat in the eggs and the vanilla.

3.      Add dry ingredients, (the next four ingredients) and mix to incorporate. Roll dough in to small balls about the size of a quarter. With a heavy bottomed crystal vase with a decorative bottom, or other cookie press, dip in sugar to coat well. Smash each ball of dough so they are spread out and flat. Leaving an imprint and sugar. Bake in a 375 °F (or 175 degrees C) oven for 10 minutes, until the edges just start to turn slightly brown. Do not bake too long. Cool sugar cookies on the baking sheet briefly then transfer to wire rack to cool the rest of the way.

They are light and fluffy like cotton candy. Oh...did you know that you can make candy out of potatoes? LOL. These cookies are very tasty, but one suggestion would be to add frosting. However this would make them even more unhealthy. They could come out of the oven rather ugly - looking. The dough is delicious, though. These cookies are made with the best ingredients and are not for those watching their weight. These would make a perfect gift for those "once-a-year" Christmas gifts. But always read the recipe several times. Gather ingredients. Gather necessary equipment, including cooling racks. Ready ingredients. Prepare the pan, such as the greasing and the flouring. Reread the recipe. Pre heat the oven. Measure the needed ingredients. Mix ingredients according to recipe specifications. Place baked good in oven. Clean kitchen and put away ingredients. Baking is so much more enjoyable when you are prepared..

Oh well...

till next time.
