Cut Out Sugar Cookie Recipe

 I don’t mean for most of my posts to be recipes, but I do love that I am getting them all in one place! We thought we would put together a recipe book eventually to share with family so having them here means printing and putting them in a binder eventually. Most of the work is getting done!

I know I've already shared a sugar cookie recipe, but today my daughter and I made dough and used some baking supplies her grandma sent her. She had been asking to make cookies and to use her unicorn and heart cookie cutters, so I decided to do that with her today. 

The recipe I found came from Life Love and Sugar and it worked out great! I will be revisiting this recipe with a great buttercream frosting come the holiday season. I did sneak in a few gingerbread men and snowflakes since my daughter wanted to play with the other cutters!

I was happy that they only spread a slight bit. Definitely a winner to keep around. 

See the recipe below!





Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
Recipe:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

2. Cream butter and sugar together for 3-4 minutes, until light and fluffy.

3. Add egg and vanilla extract and mix until combined.

4. Combine dry ingredients in a separate bowl, then add to wet ingredients and mix until well combined. Dough will be very thick. You will need to use your hands to help it all come together.

4. On a lightly floured surface and using smaller amounts of dough at a time, roll out dough to about 1/8 to a 1/4 inch. 

5. Use cookie cutters to cut out cookies, then transfer to cookie sheet. 

6. Bake cookies 6-8 minutes. Remove from oven just before they start to brown on the edges.

7. Allow cookies to cool for 5 minutes, then move to cooling rack to finish cooling.

There is NO chill time for this recipe! That's so great when you have an eager toddler or you've forgotten to make the dough ahead of time.

Enjoy!

With heart from our home,

Single Serving Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

 I had a few hours to myself today and decided to search for a good single serving chocolate chip cookie recipe. I found one by cookingclassy.com and thankfully it turned out so great! It was similar to the taste and size of Crumbl Cookies chocolate chip cookie (they are my favorite!) The dough is a very crumbly consistency so I recommend once you have your baking sheet lined with parchment paper to just dump it on top and form it into a large disc. I had a hard time trying to get the dough to come together so I opted to do this instead. See the recipe below! Ingredients: 2 TBSP butter (I used unsalted) 3 TBSP packed light-brown sugar. 1 pinch of salt. 1 TBSP whisked egg (crack egg in bowl and mix up well then scoop out 1 TBSP and add to your bowl.) 1/4 tsp vanilla. 1/3 cup all purpose flour. 1/8 tsp baking soda. 3-4 TBSP chocolate chips.  Recipe: Melt butter in microwave until only a little left is unmelted. mix together so that all is melted. Place butter in fridge to cool s...

Baking Unit | Tot School Week 15

 Baking Unit wasn't as hands on as I had hoped, but we have another week of Christmas festivities to make up for that! We did several worksheets to practice prewriting skills and also decorated a cupcake chef hat! A simple sensory bin was made from oats and some kitchen tools I had on hand. She scooped the oats into the cupcake tins and made 'cupcakes'. The most exciting part of baking week was making gingerbread houses with Grandma. She mostly taste tested but was quite excited about building them! We got started on Christmas books early so didn't check out specific baking books, although a forever favorite of ours is Who At All the Cookie Dough? By Karen Beaumont. We look forward to more baking activities while celebrating the holidays. With heart from our home,  Jordan
