I just found one on there by Alton Brown. I may just try this one.

 

[Doozer61]

Try this one:

3 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon milk
Powdered sugar, for rolling out dough

Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. Place butter and sugar in large bowl of electric stand mixer and beat until light in color. Add egg and milk and beat to combine. Put mixer on low speed, gradually add flour, and beat until mixture pulls away from the side of the bowl. Divide the dough in half, wrap in waxed paper, and refrigerate for 2 hours.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Sprinkle surface where you will roll out dough with powdered sugar. Remove 1 wrapped pack of dough from refrigerator at a time, sprinkle rolling pin with powdered sugar, and roll out dough to 1/4-inch thick. Move the dough around and check underneath frequently to make sure it is not sticking. If dough has warmed during rolling, place cold cookie sheet on top for 10 minutes to chill. Cut into desired shape, place at least 1-inch apart on greased baking sheet, parchment, or silicone baking mat, and bake for 7 to 9 minutes or until cookies are just beginning to turn brown around the edges, rotating cookie sheet halfway through baking time. Let sit on baking sheet for 2 minutes after removal from oven and then move to complete cooling on wire rack. Serve as is or ice as desired. Store in airtight container for up to 1 week.




it's the one from Alton Brown. I love his show!

[Achtung_Bebe]

Alton Brown I'm surprised his recipe doesn't contain cheese

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

Dooz, I am baking them for a baby shower that I am throwing on Sunday. Feel free to stop by!

I love Alton! He lives in my town.

 

[Achtung_Bebe]

Well I guess if he lived in my town I'd be nice, perhaps send some fan mail. Only so he'd cook me some food.

Old Fashioned Butter Cookies (from a Land O'Lakes cookbook)

3/4 cup sugar
1 cup butter, softened
2 egg yolks
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups all purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt

Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixer bowl combine sugar, butter, egg yolks and vanilla. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until well mixed 1 to 2 minutes. Add flour and salt; beat at low speed, scraping bowl often, until well mixed, 2 to 3 minutes. Shape rounded teaspoonfuls of dough into 1 inch balls. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Flatten cookie to 1/4 inch thickness with bottom of glass dipped in sugar. Bake 10 - 12 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets.
Makes about 2 1/2 dozen cookies.


These are quite popular with my co-workers and family. It is the first thing they ask for when I bake.

Hey shari schultz that recipe looks nice, and I actually have all the ingredients, I think I'm gonna go make some!

MissVelvetDress you've created a cookie monster.

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

Cookies are good!

I went ahead with the Alton recipe and it was super easy and the dough is quite tasty. Shari, I will try your recipe in a few weeks for another party I am attending.

Now how about a good icing?

I love Paula!

 

[Doozer61]

i can smell them from here

 

[zoney!]

I am STILL waiting for a food forum!

 

[edibleflowers]

Icing? Try milk and confectioner's sugar. I don't know exactly how much... maybe try a half cup of the sugar and add milk until it gets to a good consistency. Then use food coloring. =)

That's what my family used to use for Christmas cookies.

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

Cool thanks.

By the way, the cookies were a hit yesterday.
