No Roll Sugar Cookies
No roll as in no rolling pin needed. These sound really good. I am not a big fan of sweets but do enjoy a couple of cookies now and then and I enjoy cooking for my family. This is on my to cook list.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened, this is 1/2 of a standard block of butter
- 1/2 cup shortening
- 1 2/3 cups sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 egg yolks
- 1 1/3 cup all purpose flour
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 150 C.
- Mix together the butter and shortening until smooth and combined. You can do this by hand or with a electric mixer. Then add the sugar, salt, baking soda, and cream of tartar and beat until fluffy. Then add the egg yolks and vanilla and mix that in.
- Beat in the flour a little at a time and mix to form a smooth dough. Divide this into 24 pieces and using your hands, roll each piece into a ball and place the balls on a cookie sheet spaced apart as they will flatten on their own when baked.
- Bake for 15-17 minutes or until just set, do not brown the cookies. Remove the sheet from the oven and cool for about 3 minutes on the sheet, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy.
Notes
This is minimal cost.
Now for those egg whites, make yourself an egg white omelette in the morning.
