I tried to find the copy wright to see how old the book was but only found this date that my mother wrote in it |
Here are some of my cutters. I love the message in a cookie. |
Christmas sprinkles, dragees, nonpareils and coloured sugar for the cookies |
Turn out the dough on a floured surface and bring the dough together to form a ball. Flatten into a disk, wrap in plastic and let the dough rest in the fridge for 1 hour |
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface and use your favourite cutters and sprinkles. Here I used the stamps to create messages on the cookie. LOVE IT! |
I love white chocolate |
Dried cranberries. so christmassy and chewy and tart |
I formed the cookie dough into a ball, and cut the ball in half and rolled them into logs. I wrapped them in plastic and let them rest in the fridge for 1hr |
After they rested in the fridge I sliced them and baked them |
Here is a really nice chocolate chip cookie recipe I found in the paper. It's titled the Ultimate Chocolate chip Cookie. You can add in the festive ingredients to make them more christmassy if you like
3 2/3 cups Flour
1 1/4 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp baking powder and salt
1 1/4 cups unsalted butter, softened
1 1/4 cups light brown sugar
1 cup + 2 tbsp sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
3 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips ( white chocolate, pecans, cranberries I added about 1/2 cup of each to my cookies)
sea salt
- in a medium bowl, sift flour, baking soda, baking powder and table salt
- in a large bowl (or stand mixer) beat butter and two sugars for 3 mins
