i know for dinner what we would be having, but my sweet tooth lately has been screaming & cookies seemed totally appropriate. we made a yellow cake last week & im pretty sure we just scarfed it down, so i know cookies will yield the same effect, plus it saves me from having to go the store bought route or make a pass through the drive thru mid week for something sweet - since im all about saving those precious dollars for something more important. i didnt have any brown sugar so i knew sugar cookies were basically my only option (shout out to deborah who told me how to make brown sugar from molasses & white sugar! you're my hero currently)
you'll need:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups white granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- granulated sugar, for rolling
steps:
- preheat oven to 350 degrees. line cookie sheet with baking mat or parchment paper.
- cream together butter & sugar in mixing bowl until fluffy, about 2 minutes
- add in egg & stir until well combined.
- add in flour. salt & vanilla - ball of dough will form.
- scoop out ball of dough using a dough scooper - if you don't have one a spoon is fine.
- roll into ball and roll through sugar.
- space cookies a couple inches apart on cookie sheet.
- bake for 10-12 minutes or until slightly golden brown.
yields approximately 3 dozen cookies this size.
cool & enjoy!
we gobbled those baked chicken tacos rather quickly last night, so no finished product photos, but i'll share what i have soon. these definitely found their way into our regular rotation.. speaking of, i have filling leftovers and i haven't had lunch yet. peace!
