FOOTHILLS HOUSE SWEET DREAMS COOKIES
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.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste of your cookies.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the dough, making the cookies lighter and more tender.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the cookies from curdling.
- Stir in the dry ingredients until just combined. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies to hold their shape.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set around the edges. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before serving. This will help them to firm up and prevent them from sticking together.
