First of all, I realize that I did not post yesterday. I apologize, but my life happened to me! So today I'm cheating a little bit and posting two in one.
There are two cookie recipes to share that are family favorites: sugar cookies and my mom's famous chocolate chip pudding cookies!
Sugar Cookies
What you need:
1 1/2 cup butter
2 cup sugar
4 eggs
1tsp vanilla
5 cup flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1. Cream the butter, eggs and sugar.
2. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. Slowly mix the flour mixture in with your "wet" ingredients.
4. Mix in the vanilla.
5. After the dough is mixed completely, put it into the refrigerator to set for about 30min.
6. To roll your dough, either flour the surface onto which you will roll out the dough, or use shortening (which is what I prefer). Roll the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness and cut out your cookies. Yay!
7. Bake the cookies in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until the edges appear slightly browned.
8. After the cookies are completely cooled, go ahead and decorate with various icings and sprinkles!
Chocolate Chip Pudding Cookies
What you need:
1 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup sugar
3 oz. instant vanilla pudding
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 1/2 cup flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 cup semisweet chips
1. Cream the butter, sugars, eggs and vanilla.
2. In a separate bowl, mix the instant pudding, flour, baking soda and salt.
3. Slowly mix the flour mixture in with the "wet" ingredients.
4. Mix in the semisweet chocolate chips.
5. On a lined or greased cookie sheet, place heaping tablespoons of dough on the cookie sheets with at least 2" of space between the cookies because they will spread.
6. Bake the cookies in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are brown and the centers are firm.
7. Place the baked cookies on a wire wrack to cool before serving (with a glass of ice cold milk! Mmmmm)
