Happy Thursday, everyone. As promised...the cookie recipe with added notes for complete success.
Cream together: 1c. butter (2 sticks or 8oz)
2/3c. sugar
Beat in: 1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. salt
2 1/2c. sifted flour
( I don't sift and most flours are presifted these days anyway)
Mix until all ingredients are well blended.
Create a ball, cover with plastic wrap and
Chill dough 3-4 hours before rolling.
NB. If you chill too long, like I did, you discover that it is like rolling hardening concrete. Just allow to warm at room temp.
Preheat oven to 350
Roll out a portion between 2 pieces of parchment paper to about 1/4 in thick.
NB. If you are AR, get out your calipers and measure the thickness exactly!
Cut with those cookie cutters that you haven't seen in years
Continue with the remainder of the dough
Place them on a parchment-lined cookie sheet and don't crowd ( clean up is a breeze- I hate cleaning cookie sheets)
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until barely golden. My oven was more like 12-14 min
NB.The underside should have a slightly golden color unless you are like Dorothy and Christine; they love uncooked cookie dough!
Remove from cookie sheet and cool on wire racks
Cookies can be frosted ( I bought premade) or eaten just plain.
As the Competition winners will tell you, be creative and most of all have fun!
