My Grandmas original sugar cookie recipe that we make every year, I've not found another sugar cookie recipe with these exact ingredients in it, so i'm posting this one here to share and keep for myself, since the original is written in fading pink ink on old paper :) I absolutely love these :)

Time 25m

Yield 5 dozen, 50 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup shortening
2 eggs
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
4 cups flour
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • Cream butter and shortening with the sugars.
  • Beat eggs and add to the butter along with the baking soda and cream of tartar, blend together thoroughly.
  • Gradually add the flour until well blended.
  • Either roll into small balls and flatten slightly with a glass dipped in sugar, or roll out on slightly floured surface (not too thin) and cut out shapes with cookie cutters.
  • Grease cookie sheets, and Bake in 350 degree oven 7-10 minute Be careful not to over bake, they should still be white on the top and a very light brown on the bottom. Cool.
  • If you want to put sugar on them, sprinkle with colored sugar before baking, otherwise frost with frosting once they are cool, either store bought or your own recipe. They turn out best with sugar or frosting as opposed to plain.

DAD'S MELT-IN-YOUR-MOUTH COOKIES

Categories     dessert

Time 8h55m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 pound salted butter
1 teaspoon real vanilla extract
1 tablespoon brewed espresso coffee
3 heaping tablespoons confectioners' sugar, sifted
2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 cup toasted pine nuts, coarsely chopped
1 pound confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In the bowl of a large mixer cream the butter until fluffy, then add vanilla and the espresso.
  • In a large bowl sift the confectioners' sugar then add to it the butter mixture in the mixer and mix well.
  • In the same bowl used to sift the sugar, add flour and salt and sift. Add them to the mixer that contains the cream, butter mixture. Turn the mixture out on a floured board and sprinkle the pine nuts on the mixture and mix nuts in well with your hands (if dough gets too sticky add a bit more flour to the board and to your hands). When nuts are mixed in, place mixture in a large glass bowl and put in refrigerator for 1/2 hour to make it easier to roll. Take bowl out of the refrigerator and with your hands pick up walnut sized balls of dough, roll them in your hands and place them in an ungreased cookie sheet.
  • Bake for 20 minutes or until cookies turn a light golden brown. When all of the cookies have been baked place them on a cooling rack overnight. If you are pressed for time 5 hours will do.
  • In a large resealable plastic bag place the pound of confectioners' sugar (this is a bit of overkill but I wanted to have enough powdered sugar for the cookies). Add 6 to 12 cookies at a time and gently toss them in the powdered sugar and then place them on a cooling rack trying not to disturb the sugar coating. Continue until all cookies are coated. Let cookies rest so that the coating really adheres. Now - when you eat one - you will want another and another and another!
  • My Dad used to also coat these cookies with raw sugar (that he had family ship from Italy), and I have made them that way also. However, people seem to like the powdered sugar more.

Tips:

  • Chill the dough: Chilling the dough before baking helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much.
  • Use room temperature butter: Room temperature butter is easier to cream with the sugar, which results in a lighter and fluffier cookie.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough can make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cookies at the right temperature: The ideal temperature for baking sugar cookies is 375°F (190°C). This will help the cookies bake evenly and prevent them from burning.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting: This will help the frosting set properly and prevent it from running off the cookies.

Conclusion:

With a little bit of planning and effort, you can make melt-in-your-mouth sugar cookies that are perfect for any occasion. Just remember to chill the dough, use room temperature butter, don't overmix the dough, bake the cookies at the right temperature, and let the cookies cool completely before frosting. With these tips in mind, you'll be able to make sugar cookies that are sure to impress your friends and family.
