A Sugar Cookie-Gram for Uncle Mumfie

If it's not clear: cooking is my love language. So, when my friend sent us some of his beef for a Blind Taste Test (Corn-Fed vs. Grass-Fed), I told him I'd send him his cooler back filled with cookies. Between a birthday dinner, the science fair, and being wiped out with horrible allergies, I didn't get around to baking anything this weekend. Last night!!

The Enthusiastic Kitchen Elf made these simple sugar roll-out cookies. And we got to use our fun new cookie cutters from Fred and Friends. Link below. We spelled out our gratitude. They'll go in the mail today.

Ingredients

1 C butter
1 C organic granulated sugar
1 large egg
2 t baking powder
1 t organic orange blossom water
dash of ground cardamom
dash of ground ginger
dash of ground nutmeg
dash of ground cinnamon
2-3⁄4 C flour (I refrained from using white whole wheat for these!)

Procedure

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar together until lightened and fluffy.

Beat in the egg, orange blossom water, and spices. Gently mix in the flour and baking powder until just combined.

Between two pieces of parchment paper, roll your dough out to 1/8"-1/4" thickness. Use your cookie cutters then place the cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until light browned. Let cool on a wire rack.

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy. Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found." Read her invitation here.

You're Invited: Take a (Virtual) Hawaiian Holiday with #FoodNFlix

Fall Break, Oahu, October 2017 For June, I am hosting Food'N'Flix , the movie-watching, food-making group rallied by Heather of All Roads Lead to the Kitchen . This week, my older son was supposed to graduate from high school and we were supposed to leave on a family vacation to the Big Island. But, as enter our eleventh week of being sheltered in place to flatten the curve of the coronavirus, all of our summer plans were canceled, including this long-planned graduation trip to Hawaii. Boo. I understand the need to self-isolate. And we are abiding by the social distancing guidelines put in place by our state. But, boo, nonetheless. Oahu, October 2017 So for this month's Food'N'Flix, I chose to open up the field and let all of the food bloggers take a (virtual) Hawaiian holiday.
