My family just made some iced for Thanksgiving. About the only time I ever eat them is the holidays. You should make some when you come to Bloomington!
Mix, put small balls of dough on cookie sheet, bake until ready; about 8-10 minutes. I found that the ones that I baked on the double layered (air inside type) baking sheet came out much better than the ones that I baked on a single layer cooking sheet.
I might note that this is Fanny Farmer recipe doubled; I added more vanilla than it recommended — specifically it recommended 1 teaspoon, but since I adore the flavor…
TQE : That Queer Expatriate
I'm an American living in Berlin, Germany -- which makes me an expatriate, not an ex-patriot. Before landing in Germany, I've lived in Denver, Colorado; Laramie, Wyoming; Bloomington, Indiana; and Weimar, Germany. If you want to write to me, feel free! The username is elmadaeu on the gmail.com service.
Send me a couple dozen.
Unfortunately I forgot to take an after photo–there were none left.
They look(ed) good. Much better than our chocolate chip cookie experience back in May. 🙂
They look lovely! Aren’t you going to share the recipe??? 🙂

Recipe — This is the Fanny Farmer sugar cookies recipe, with some minor modifications:

1 cup (226g) butter (I used, basically, 250g, minus a sliver used to grease cookie sheets). Cream butter.
Beat In: 1.5 cups sugar (Yes, I stayed using American measurements for this.
Add: 2 eggs, 2 teaspoons vanilla
Add: 2 tablespoons milk
Stir In: 2.5 Cups flour, 0.5 teaspoons salt, and 0.5 teaspoons baking powder
Mix, put small balls of dough on cookie sheet, bake until ready; about 8-10 minutes. I found that the ones that I baked on the double layered (air inside type) baking sheet came out much better than the ones that I baked on a single layer cooking sheet.
