You know how some sugar cookies need frosting because they taste pretty much like flour? Well, these cookies stand alone. No frosting needed at all.
They are perfect!
This recipe came from my Great Grandma Genevieve Gilder that my little Genevieve was named after.
1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup butter, at room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup powdered sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 eggs
4 1/2 cups flour
With a mixer beat oil, butter, sugars, vanilla, cream of tartar, baking soda, and eggs until fluffy. Add flour. Refrigerate for at least an hour. Form dough into 1-inch balls, roll in sugar and place on ungreased cookie sheet. Press balls down slightly with a glass cup dipped in sugar. Bake at 350 for 8 minutes or so. The tops will not brown at all, but my bottoms did when I left them in too long, so watch them carefully. Cool on a flat surface.
And then I got creative...
This black raspberry ice cream from Dreyers is amazingly refreshing!
You know what else would be cuter? If I added a little sprinkles on the chocolate before it hardened. Or better yet, just use colored chocolate like yellow or pink or light blue. How Easter-ish would that look?!Have fun. Get creative.
You are so creative! Those look fantastic!!
ReplyDeletevery cute and they look yummy!
ReplyDeleteWhen do you add the eggs?! ???
ReplyDeleteHahaha! Oops. I fixed it.
ReplyDeleteMy great grandma used to make cookies like this, sometimes we would used colored sugar on top, we also would spread margarine/butter on the glass before we dipped it in the sugar, and sometimes we would add a bit of lemon...thanks for reminding me of this Karen! :)
