It looks like sugar cookies have made a comeback for Valentine's day, at least that's what Wednesday's after school intention with my seven year old holds. Yes I've measured the 1-1/3 cups butter (really more than 2-1/2 sticks) and am contemplating the 1-1/2 cups sugar we'll add as soon as she gets her patootsie home, I'll admit it's due entirely to frozen butter.
Otherwise I'd have gone ahead and whipped the sugar to butter ratio for a fully absorbed five minutes, taking none of the time to complain that I have to wait until Valentine's day to enlist my new red KitchenAid mixer. Blending two eggs in one at a time, and then 2-1/2 teaspoons vanilla thereafter makes you finally take a stand on everything wholesome, it's well overdue.
Put thought into the 3-1/2 cups flour, two teaspoons baking powder and 3/4 teaspoon salt that will go in there, because Frosted Soft Sugar Cookies are riding on this like an Olympic gold medal in need of a champion. Adding it a cup at a time instills fear in those who profess a 400 degree oven is not a threat, when 7-1/2 to 8 minutes is basically how you operate, no browning necessary.
So while rolling to a quarter-inch thickness, slicing out hearts at your whimsy, or if desperate to avoid freehand use a complicated cutter. Be sure the icing you also swiped from the back of your C&H sugar packaging comes in handy. No need to lie that two sticks of butter whipped together with 1/4 tsp cream of tartar, a package of confectioner's, a tsp water, two tsp vanilla, you get the picture.
So when making Spaghetti Pie tonight like a real live rock star, envisioning the oversized casserole dish you'll stuff a doubled recipe into, for the love of your family. Make a fantastic attempt at your world famous garlic bread because when you pre-buy a whole wheat loaf, mourning the loss of any potential sesame seeds while being firm about the addition of softened butter, garlic powder and yes, shredded Sam's Club Stella, staunchly broiled. Leaning heavily towards the brand name and organic, it's tomatoes! Vitamins and antioxidants galore.
