My daughter was home sick from school yesterday, so when she started to feel better by the end of the day, and wanted to make some cookies (for a doll tea party), it was hard to say no. Even though I wasn't sure what we had for ingredients.
We ended up making sugar cookies. I didn't end up having all or enough of certain ingredients. But I improvised. Because that's what mother's do, when there "little girls" are sick and want to make cookies for a tea party! (My son also liked them, just to eat, not a tea party.)
Here's the recipe I used:
2 3/4 cups flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 tsp. baking soda
1 egg
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 cup butter
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1. Cream together butter & sugar. Beat in egg & vanilla, gradually blend dry ingredients. Roll rounded teaspoons of dough into balls, place on ungreased cookie sheet.
2. Bake 8 to 10 minutes at 375 degrees.
*Note: I only used (had) 1 cup sugar, 1 3/4 cups flour, 1/2 cup of butter & no baking soda, but they still came out good!
It looks tasty. :)

ReplyDeleteHi Sue, The cookies look great. I'm sure you had fun making them with your daughter. Thanks for sharing the recipe. I have been looking for a good sugar cookies recipe. I have copied it & plan to make some with my kids. My son is 12 & has a cooking class in school & he enjoys cooking. He made me a cake for my birthday, it was good. :-)

Thanks everyone for your comments. Another idea I had was to get some "Easter" cookie cutters, like a bunny. And make them for Easter.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,It looks good to test.I may do it myself for some holiday.When I was a kid,my mom made some cookie for me either.But in Taiwan there had no butter used in old day.My mom fried with "pig oil".Can you imaging?
