Looking for Big Tender Sugar Cookie Recipe

RE: Looking for Big Tender Sugar Cookie Recipe By Theresa,MI (Guest Post) I don't know if these will bring back memories for you but they work for me every time. This recipe is generations old in our family but has been adapted a bit over the years. 4 1/2 C. flour 2 tsp. baking powder 1 tsp. baking soda 1/2 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg 1 1/4 cups shortening 2 cups sugar 2 eggs 1 tsp. vanilla 1/2 tsp. lemon extract 3/4 cup buttermilk additional sugar if desired or decorate with frosting Heat oven to 375' MIX flour, powder, soda, salt & nutmeg. BEAT shortening for 30 seconds then beat in 2 C. sugar, add eggs, vanilla & lemon etract. ADD flour mixture & buttermilk alternately beating until well mixed. divide dough in half. COVER and CHILL for at least 3 HOURS. ROLL 1/2 dough to 3/8 inch thick for large cookies or 1/4 inch thick for small cookie. USE EITHER a 3 inch round cutter for large or a 2 inch cutter for small. Place 2 1/2 apart on ungreased sheet sprinkle with more sugar and BAKE at 375' for 9-11 min or til bottoms are LIGHTLY browned. I hope you love them!

I added a few dashes of nutmeg.

Tenderness can be from the amount of shortening, cook time, or even leavening ( like baking powder), IMHO..

I know that baking at a lower temp, then leaving the door closed to retain the heat for an hour, will produce different results than baking at the required temp and removing from the cookie sheet immediately.

I am going to have sugar cookies to feed the entire neighborhood ...lol !!

Then, using self-rising flour, make a stiff dough. Roll out fairly thin (about 1/8") and cut. Bake at 350° until brown. (I make a thumbprint in the center of each cookie and put a dollop of jelly/jam in the center. I don't see why, though, you couldn't sprinkle them with colored sugar, etc. I hope you enjoy these as much as my children did when they were growing up.)

Use vanilla, too. Mary - Iowa Posted on 12/14/2005 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Looking for Big Tender Sugar Cookie Recipe By Nona (Guest Post) I have a recipe that I absolutely LOVE!! Sounds like the one you're talking about. Here it is: 3 eggs 3 c. sugar 1 c. sour cream 1 tsp. vanilla 2 tsp. baking soda 2 tsp. baking powder 2 tsp. cream of tartar 6 c. flour 350 degrees, bake for 10 min. Roll thicker so they will be moist and not crunchy and dont' keep them in for too much extra time. They may not look done, but they are and if you let them in the oven longer, they will get hard. Enjoy! Nona Posted on 12/14/2005 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Looking for Big Tender Sugar Cookie Recipe By Crystal (Guest Post) Try the following recipe. Be sure to roll them thick and underbake them a little for soft, moist cookies. "Killer" Sugar Cookies 3 3/4 cups flour 1 tsp baking powder 1 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp salt 1 tsp cream of tartar 1 cup butter 1 1/2 cups sugar 2 eggs 1 tsp vanilla 1/2 tsp almond Cream butter and suger. Add eggs, vanilla and almond and mix well. Mix dry ingredients together and then add to creamed mixture and stir well with wooden spoon. Roll, cut and bake at 350 for 5-9 minutes. Cool and frost/decorate as desired. Hope this helps! Posted on 12/14/2005 | Report Spam or Abuse
