Salted Sugar Cookies


This is a cookie recipe that's easy to whip up with stuff you probably have on hand. And, best yet, it'll be in your hand in less than 30 minutes! We were recipe testing for another recipe the Enthusiastic Kitchen Elf had in mind. You'll see that cookie creation soon.


Ingredients makes approximately 3 dozen
  • 1 C softened butter
  • 1 C organic granulated sugar + more for sprinkling
  • 1 egg
  • 1 t pure vanilla extract
  • 3 C flour
  • 1 t baking soda
  • 1/2 t baking powder
  • flake salt for sprinkling
  • Also needed: baking sheet, silicone mat or parchment paper, scoop (optional)

Procedure
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

In a small mixing bowl, blend together flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until lightened and fluffy. Beat in egg and pure vanilla.

Gradually blend in the dry ingredients until you have a smooth dough. Here you can use a scoop which is much easier...or you can roll walnut-sized balls with your hands.

Place onto prepared cookie sheets and sprinkle each cookie with some sugar and flake salt. Bake for 10 to 11 minutes in the preheated oven - or until golden. If you prefer more crunchy cookies, bake for a minute or two longer.

Let cookies cool on sheets for 2 to 3 minutes before removing to cool on wire racks.

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."

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.  My boys have been to Oahu several times with my parents in recent years as my dad grew up there and wanted to spend some time on the island with his grandsons.
