Sugar Cookie Recipe!!!
Not what you might expect from a blog but then why an expectation? Lol I decided to share this Sugar Cookie Dough recipe I have been making for years because I have been asked many times for this recipe and because we all like to say sharing is caring! This recipe can provide different treats from one dough. Is that not what happens as we grow? Meaning that we arrive here and we grow, we try new, we sprinkle a little of this or a little of that and see if that worked, did we like it, was it a success? Truly it is a success for we tried in the first place! I have taken this dough and experimented with all kinds of treats to roll inside of this beyond the Andes Mints. This recipe is also one you can roll out to have that thin sugar cookie or try and make it thicker too. It’s all up to you. I hope you enjoy this and share it with your family. I know I have had much fun with where this dough recipe was discovered to where it is now. Sugar Cookie Dough Recipe:
Festive Cookie Dough
½ cup sugar
½ cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
1 cup butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
3 cups flour-all purpose
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon cream of tartar
Cream together the sugars & butter.
Add vanilla and eggs & mix well.
Divide the dough into 3 piles and store in individual plastic wrap in the frig for at least 2 hours.
Use a pile at a time so the dough doesn’t get too soft.
Rolled Sugar Cookies
Heat oven to 325 degrees. Take out one of the piles of dough after it has chilled and roll out the dough to make Sugar cookies. Make sure you have a well floured surface and more flour handy. I have found that you have to keep adding flour while rolling. Roll to 1/8 inch and use cookie cutters to make shapes. You can sprinkle sugars on the cookies right before baking as well. Place on un-greased cookie sheets. Bake at 325 for 10-12 minutes or until edges are light golden brown but keep an eye to check how they are doing. Each oven is unique.
Chocolate Mint (Andes mints) Cookies:
After 2 hours:
Cut each Andes mint into thirds. Take each little piece and put inside a round blob of the dough. Make sure the mint is covered. Then generously dip the top into various sugars. Place on un-greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for about 7-10 minutes.
