Frosted lemon sugar cookies

Uncategorized Leave a comment

Changing things up with a non chocolate treat today – lemon sugar cookies with lemon frosting.   And I stepped it up by using lemon juice from actual lemons, as opposed to bottled lemon juice.

Remember to scoop your flour and powdered sugar from their respective bags into your measuring cups so you get the right amount. I also recommend chilling the individual doughs to keep them from spreading too much.  And, preheat your oven before baking.

  • Ingredients list
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1/4 plus 2 tbs vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup plus 2 tbs sugar
  • 1/4 cup plus 2 tbs powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp water
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbs lemon zest
  • 1 egg
  • 2 3/4 cups flour
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Direction – in a bowl, cream butter, vegetable oil, sugar, and powdered sugar.   blend in  lemon juice, zest and eggs.  Fold in dry ingredients.  Scoop out 1/4 cups dough.  Spray the bottom of a drinking glass with pam and gently flatten cookies (not too flat).  Sprinkle with sugar.  

Chill a few hours. 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Kine a cookie sheet with parchment paper.  Stagger cookies on sheet.  Bake 9 to 11 minutes, no longer.  Cool completely.

  • Frosting ingredients
  • 2 tbs butter, melted
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • The juice of one lemon, squeezed

Combine ingredients.  Frost cookies.

Brown sugar topped with brown butter frosting

Uncategorized Leave a comment

I wanted to mix up my cookie game, so instead of sugar cookies or non chocolate  cookie,  I made brown sugar cookies.  Brown sugar is the only sweetener I used.  And I frosted them with brown butter frosting?  Is it brown butter, or browned butter?   I have no idea.  The process to brown butter is the same either way.  You cook it in a saucepan over medium low heat for about ten minutes, until you see specs of brown in it.  Then you immediately remove it from the stove top and set aside so it does not burn.

Remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount.  Chill the individual doughs before baking.

  And preheat your oven before baking.

  • Ingredients list
  • 3,/4 cup butter, melted
  • 11/2 cups brown sugar, firmly packed into your measuring cup
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Directions – in a bowl, combine butter and brown sugar.  Add egg and vanilla.  Blend in dry ingredients.  Scoop out 1/4 cups of dough.  Chill a few hours.  Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and stagger cookies.

Bake 10 to 12 minutes, no longer.  Cool completely.

  • Brown butter frosting ingredients
  • 1/2 cup butter, browned
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • Heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla

In a bowl, combine brownie butter and powdered sugar.   Add vanilla, then enough cream to get the consistency you want.  Frost cookies.

Marble Chocolate Chip cookies

Uncategorized Leave a comment

I could not decide whether to make chocolate chip cookies or chocolate chocolate chip cookies, so I decided to do both – and make marble chocolate chip cookies.  I know it needed to marble them more, but I believe they are just fine.

Remember to scoop your flour and baking cocoa from you flour bag/cocoa container into your measuring cups/measuring spoons so you get the right amount. I also recommend chilling the dough so the cookies don’t spread as much.  Also preheat your oven before baking so it cycles to the right temp for baking.

  • Ingredients list
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 1/3 cups sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 2 2/3 cups plus 2 tbs flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 6 tbs baking cocoa
  • 1 cup chocolate chips, divided

Directions – in a bowl, cream butter, sugar and brown sugar.  Add eggs and vanilla.  Blend in 2 2/3 cups flour and baking soda.   Divide dough evenly into 2 bowls.  In one bowl, blend in 2 tbs flour, then mix in 1/2 cup chips.  In the other bowl, blend in cocoa then mix in 1/2 cup chocolate chips.

  Scoop out 2 tbs  dough from each bowl.

Combine one of each into one cookie, form a tall mound and chill a few hours. 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.   Stagger cookies on sheet. 

Bake 11 to 13 minutes until chocolate chip side has golden patches.  

Cool completely.   Store in covered container.
