I'm using Knit Picks Palette for my wee mittens, and I'm quite taken by the color combination:The scent of fresh-baked cookies was in the air chez Caffeinated Yarn over the weekend.
A few years ago I tested many recipes in a quest for the perfect sugar cookie. The winner is from one of my mother's old church cookbooks -- Peaceful Pantry, from Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Burnsville, Minnesota.
Grandma's Sugar Cookies
~ Ilah Robbins
~ Ilah Robbins
1 C. butter
1.5 C. sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
3.5 C. flour (sifted if you're feeling fancy)
2 tsp. cream of tartar
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
Cream butter; add sugar gradually, creaming until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Sit in vanilla. Sift dry ingredients together; add gradually to creamed mixture. Chill thoroughly (at least 3 hours). Roll out on well-floured surface to 1/4" thickness. Cut in desired shapes. Bake on cookie sheet covered in baking parchment 6-8 minutes at 375 degrees.
Tip: fill each pan with the same shape so that the cookies bake evenly
Makes about 6 dozen cookies.
Frost with a basic powdered sugar/butter/milk/vanilla icing.
