Creator Notes

My 8-Three hundred and sixty five days-outdated daughter Maddie and I fancy to invent cookies together. We consistently pattern the dough as we shuffle, adding a runt more sugar or vanilla (or one thing else), if wanted. On yarn of if the dough would not taste merely, the cookies surely would possibly maybe maybe not. When you exercise very unique free-fluctuate eggs (ours are from a farm down the highway), then you carry out now not have confidence to alarm about salmonella. When it’s seemingly you’ll perchance rather now not appreciate raw dough, though, believe that Maddie and I even have confidence tasted this one, and we predict or now not it’s huge. We just like the chewy sugar cookies produced from this dough, too, clearly—they remind us of those packaged slice and bake ones, but they’re better. And because of Merrill’s mother for the tip about the exercise of the patterned bottom of a tumbler to receive a pattern in the cookies 🙂 —WinnieAb

In expose for you to invent rolled/in the reduction of-out cookies, it’s seemingly you’ll perchance tranquil wrap the dough in parchment or plastic and refrigerate except it’s completely chilled. That it’s seemingly you’ll maybe additionally invent a “log” out of the dough, freeze it, and then invent “slice and bake” cookies. The third option (and what I in general build) is to form the dough into balls, you can perchance flatten a piece of with a steel spatula or the underside of a tumbler (exercise a tumbler with a pattern and it’s seemingly you’ll perchance cessation up with patterned cookies). Form now not flatten them too mighty, because a piece of of thickness helps them retain their form/ensures they stop chewy, and place on parchment or silpat lined cookie sheets.
