FOOTHILLS HOUSE SWEET DREAMS COOKIES



Foothills House Sweet Dreams Cookies image

Another recipe from Bon Appetit magazine (February 1986). This came from Foothills House, in Calistoga, California. I've never stayed there but from the online reviews, it's a wonderful little country inn with fabulous service and as of 2008 they were still giving these cookies to their guests every night. If I'm ever in that part of California for the night, I'm going to stay there! These are sweetly spiced cinnamon and ginger flavoured chocolate chip cookies rolled in powdered sugar before baking. I'm very glad the owner of the inn shared these with Bon Appetit.

I've been making these cookies for many years. The recipe originally comes from the Foothill House B&B but I found it in a community cookbook. Refrigerating time is not included in the prep or cook time.

1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 (12 ounce) package semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 cup powdered sugar

  • Bake 10 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use softened butter: This will help the cookies cream together more easily and give them a softer texture.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing can make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at a moderate temperature: This will help them bake evenly and prevent them from burning.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them: This will help the frosting set properly.

Conclusion:

Sweet Dream Cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are soft, chewy, and full of chocolate chips. With just a few simple tips, you can make these cookies perfect every time.
