Sugar Cookies
I know I have already posted a number of cookie recipes here in my blog. But yesterday my co-workers, who checked my blog for the first time, were teasing me for not having tasted any of my baked goodies yet, so, I made the easiest and quickest cookie recipe for them. I made them last night – my preparation time was about 20 minutes and baking time was just only 15 minutes. And the cookies were ready!
I got this recipe from Ma’am Fladiza Castillo who is a teacher of Food and Technology at Pangasinan State University. I never got a hold of her since the training I had with her but I heard she and her family migrated to New Zealand. She gave a number of recipes which are mostly quick prep breads and food preserves some of which which I will be making soon.
This is a big shout for those who wanted to start baking and doesn’t want to get frustrated of doing something wrong with the goodies. Sugar Cookies are best baked cookie recipe as a birth of a new baker arises. These are best for snack or even as a dessert!
5 cups of flour
2 cups white sugar, and 1/2 cup for toppings
1/2 cup margarine
1/4 cup milk
3 pcs. large eggs
4 tbsp. baking powder
1 tbsp. vanilla
Place 1/2 cup of sugar in a shallow bowl. Set aside.
Sift flour and baking powder together. Set aside.
Cream the margarine until lemon in color. Add the sugar at a time, alternately with egg. Cream until smooth.
Add flour mixture alternately with milk. Blend well. Important: Do not overwork the dough.
Use a cookie scoop or measuring spoon (I used 1 tbsp. spoon). Be sure to shape cookies in all same sizes so they will be baked evenly. Roll each cookie with your hands and flat each cookie.
Drop one side of each cookie in sugar. Arrange in a well-greased pan or cookie sheets.
Bake for 12 minutes at 350 degrees F.
Let them cool and enjoy!
sugar cookies? hmm…made me recall my childhood days when i used to buy these kinds…
You’re right journaliz! They are mostly sold in local bakeries. It’s just that they are too commercialized, cheap flour and reduced butter. But still taste good for a cheap price though.
Speaking of childhood, merenmgue naman dyan! Hahaha!
bake the cookies under the sun for 2 1/2 hours, it works. thats what we do at campsite.
@ Rudy, thanks for that tip. I can also share that idea to our campers! Have a great day!
