2 Tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt

1 c golden raisins
1 c shredded coconut
1 c chopped pecans
1 tsp grated orange peel
1 tsp grated lemon peel
1/2 tsp almond extract
1/2 tsp orange extract

  • 5. Bake 14-16 minutes. Remove from oven and allow cookies to cool on cookie sheet for 10 minutes.

Tips:

  • Attention to Ingredients: Use high-quality ingredients for the best results. Fresh buttermilk and butter yield a more flavorful cookie.
  • Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes prevents the cookies from spreading too much and helps them hold their shape.
  • Shape Cookies Evenly: Use a cookie scoop or spoon to ensure uniform cookie sizes, which will help them bake evenly.
  • Bake at the Right Temperature: Follow the recipe's recommended oven temperature. Baking at a higher temperature can cause cookies to brown too quickly, while a lower temperature may result in undercooked cookies.
  • Avoid Overcrowding: Don't overcrowd the baking sheet. Leave enough space between cookies to allow for proper air circulation and even baking.
  • Watch the Edges: Keep an eye on the edges of the cookies. When they start to turn golden brown, the cookies are almost done.
  • Let Cookies Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This helps them set and prevents them from breaking.

Conclusion:

With careful attention to detail and a commitment to using quality ingredients, you'll be able to create delectable Ambrosia cookies that will tantalize taste buds and become a cherished family tradition. Remember to experiment with different add-ins and flavors to create your unique variations.
