I was stalking Nyx on facebook the other day, and she made COOKIES. whaaaaaaaaaaat..! I'm so jealous. Now i'm going to attempt to make some cookies myself, today D:< She said that a website called [allrecipies.com] is where she got the idea, so i'm going to go there to try and learn to make cookies, too =w=
I'm going to try and make some sugar cookies today! Any ingredients I use, will be in blue and any tools I use, will be in purple.
Ingredients Summary
1.5 cups of butter
2 cups of white sugar
4 eggs
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
5 cups of flour
2 teaspoons of baking powder
1 teaspoon of salt
| Tools Summary
large bowl
measuring cup
whisk or spoon
teaspoon
refrigerator
|
 | First, get a large bowl and put in 1.5 cups of butter and 2 cups of white sugar. Use a measuring cup to know the precise amount to put in.Use a whisk or spoon to beat this mixture together until it's smooth and even. | | Now, get 4 eggs and a teaspoon of vanilla extract, and mix these in, as well, until everything is very creamy. | | Now, mix in 5 cups of flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt. | | Chill this dough in a refrigerator for 1 to 12 hours. Meanwhile, you can work on making the icing. | | To make icing, get x cups of confectioner's sugar or powdered sugar, and x cups of milk. Mix them together and add a tiny bit of food coloring or sugar colored pieces. Add in only enough milk to make it really thick, but creamy enough to use a paintbrush or spoon to paint it onto your cookie. | | After the dough has been chilled, preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) while you're getting ready to shape the cookies. | | Sprinkle the area where you're gonna roll out your dough, lightly with some flour. Now, take a rolling pin and roll out the dough until it's somewhere from 1/4 to 1/2 of an inch thick. Next, take a cookie cutter or a knife (i didn't have a cookie cutter, so I just carved out cookies with a knife lol) and start cutting out pretty cookie shapes!! :D When your dough is full of holes, roll it up into a ball again, and then roll it out flat again, and cut more. Repeat this until you use up all the dough. | | Put the cookies 1 inch apart from each other, on cookie sheets. Cover them in icing designs. Bake them in the oven from 6 to 8 minutes. Then let them cool off~ |
NOW EAT THEM >:DDD !![insert pic here][insert pic here]
