I made these cookies for the cookie table at the wedding of my very good friend and TH 9 roommate Catherine Bishop to Chris Ross. It was a beautiful wedding!
I got the recipe for these cookies from another of my favorite blogs: Fat Girl Trapped in a Skinny Body and I couldn't have asked for a better tasting sugar cookies. Ok, so I've never even made sugar cookies before so maybe they just all are so easy and delicious but I was so very impressed with these. I also used Multi Purpose flour for these which I nevvvveeer use. But I've come to the realization that not everyone likes whole wheat. In fact, I'm surprised at the amount of people who hate the way it tastes. So I've decided that though I will always use whole wheat for John and I. I will use multi purpose while making dessert for others...which is mostly when I make desserts
As a side note, one would assume that all I eat is sugar. But really I'm making all of these desserts and cookies for events and other people so it's not all that bad. But I DO really love sugar anyway.
Sugar Cookies:
Recipe from Fat Girl Trapped in a Skinny Body
1 1/4 c sugar (I used organic evaporated cane juice and it worked great)
2 sticks butter
3 egg yolks
2 tsps vanilla extract
2 1/2 c all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cream of tartar
1/4 tsp salt
granulated sugar
or sprinkles
Preheat oven to 350. I used my stand mixer for this so it made mixing so easy.
Mix butter and sugar until it is nice and creamy. Add egg yolks and vanilla extract. Add flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt until cookie dough is all mixed.
Form dough balls, roll them in sugar or sprinkles and place them on cookie sheet. Press down to flatten slightly.
Bake for 12-14 mins until cracked a little on the top. Do not over bake or cookies will not be soft in the middle. Place cookies on cookie rack to cool. Makes about 3 dozen cookies.
