Before
leaving to Texas to help with my Dad this past visit, I made one of his
favorite cookies. A cookie his father
used to make him as a kid. If you like
butter cookies, this recipe is to out of this world.
Butter Cookies
¾ cup sugar
2 sticks
unsalted butter
1 ½ teaspoons
vanilla
¼ teaspoon salt
1 large egg yolk
2 cups all purpose flour
2 cups all purpose flour
Beat
butter, sugar, salt and vanilla together until creamy. Mix in egg yolk. Add flour and mix until incorporated, scrape down
the sides of bowl. Place entire cookie
mix onto wax paper and roll cookie mix into a log. Wrap into wax paper, then wrap in plastic
wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour or so.
Remove from refrigerator and cut into same size pieces, place each cut
cookie onto a cookie sheet and bake at 325 degrees. Bake until edges turn golden and remove from
pan to cool on cookie racks.

Gardening
for all of us is just around the corner, that is, once the weather decides to
cooperate. Every one of us is biting at
the bit to get outside and start planting.
Are you ready?
Thanks for the Butter cookie recipe. Hope you don't mind, but I pinned it. Great job on the celery & parsnip starts.
ReplyDeleteNo problems, thanks.
DeleteThis is so timely. I have an organic celery 'end' waiting for this treatment. I bet you could do carrot tops to let go to bloom and gather seeds.
ReplyDeleteLast year I did celery this way and had all kinds of luck so I decided to do it again this year. I'm pretty sure carrot tops would work the same way.
DeleteYou can never go wrong with sugar cookies.
ReplyDeleteJMG,
DeleteSugar and butter cookies are the best. No you can't go wrong with either.
Those cookies look good and sound easy enough for even me to make.
ReplyDeleteGail,
DeleteThe cookies are really good and the recipe is so easy. Of course you can make them!!!
No. No I'm not ready. This was the perfect day to rake all the mulch back, then dig in some miracle grow soil for planting. But did I do it?
ReplyDeleteNo. I came to your blog.
Coming to my blog is a good thing, lol!!!!
DeleteLittle butter or sugar cookies are my favorite. I do not have much of a sweet tooth, but once in a while a nice cookie with tea makes me very happy.
ReplyDeleteHow much flour do I use in the butter cookies? They look great!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe I forgot to include the amount of flour. 2 cups!!!
DeleteThank you for bringing this to my attention.
