While our whoopies were cooling we (Kristen and me) wanted to be creative. :) We thought about making a sugar cookie and melting candy corns to put on top of the cookies. We decided to experiment so we did.
Ingredients:
1 cup sugar
1 cup butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1 egg
2 1/3 cups all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking sodaPreheat oven to 375°F.Beat together butter and sugar on low speed of mixer until light and fluffy. Stir in flavorings and egg. Mix. Stir in flour and baking soda.
Using a small cookie scoop or two spoons, shape dough into balls. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet, 2 inches apart. Press cookie down slightly to flatten using the bottom of a glass which has been dipped in sugar. Colored or white sugar may be used.
Bake for 9-11 minutes, just until cookies have set. Remove cookies to a wire rack to cool. Do not overbake cookies
Makes approximately 4 dozen cookies, depending on size.

Roll the dough into balls. Take a plate and put some sugar on it. Then take a glass, dip it into the sugar and press it down on the dough ball. Look how perfectly round the cookies are. :)
We baked the cookies for about 9 minutes. If you bake them too long then they will harden so you want to take them out while they are just a little undone and they will stay soft. :)
mmmmmm :)
We thought it would be cool to melt candy corn and pour on top of some of the cookies. Then add a candy corn on top.
It was a cool idea. But it was not good. LOL FAIL!! But we tried! :) 
These are def the easiest and best sugar cookies I've had. Love em! :) 
That picture at the bottom is awesome! They're perfectly round, golden on the outside! We're awesome :)
ReplyDeleteThe sugar cookies are awesome!! :) They taste good with Wegmans Key Lime yogurt too. haha :)
ReplyDeleteThanks again for baking with me! :)
the cookies look perfect, minus the candy corn drizzle. candy corn is just corn syrup anyway so i can imagine it didn't taste all that great once melted. LOL
ReplyDeletelove the bottom of the cup idea to flatten the cookies perfectly.
@ Ashley- We only put the candy corn drizzle on like 7 cookies. It seemed like a good idea but it didn't turn out like we wanted.
ReplyDeleteThe cookies were awesome!! So, perfectly round, soft and good. :)
