BROWN SUGAR TEA COOKIE



Brown Sugar Tea Cookie image

A very nice soft tea cookie with a hint of caramel and cream cheese. Cookie bakes to a pretty golden brown crispy edge perfect for serving with a fuit and whipped topping dessert or having with a cup of coffee or tea.

Provided by Debbie Bankston @Deb59

Categories     Cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 - egg extra large
6 tablespoon(s) butter
4 tablespoon(s) cream cheese
1/2 cup(s) cane sugar
1/4 cup(s) light brown sugar packed
3/4 cup(s) self rising flour
1/4 cup(s) heavy whipping cream
1/2 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325% Line baking sheets with parchment. I used a fresh sheet of parchment for each cooking. Egg and heavy cream needs to be room temperature. Butter and cream cheese need to be softened. I used a whisk and mixed by hand but an electric mixer can also be used.
  • Beat softened butter and cream cheese well. Add room temperature egg and beat well.
  • Add both sugars and beat to a nice creamy mixture. Add self rising flour and room temperature heavy whipping cream alternately, mixing well after each, ending with flour. Add vanilla extract and mix to incorporate.
  • I used a 2 Tablespoon scoop to place 12 dollops of the soft creamy mixture onto the parchment lined baking sheet.
  • Bake at 325% pre heated oven for 18 to 22 minutes or until a nice golden brown crispy edge forms around the cookies.
  • Remove from oven and carefully slide the parchment with cookies onto a cooling rack, repeat cooking for next 12 cookies. Let sit on parchment for 3 to 5 minutes, then using a thin metal spatula remove the cookies to the cooling rack to finish cooling completely. Store in air tight container. This recipe made 27 cookies with the size scoop i used. Cooking times can vary by oven and amount of batter in scoop.

Categories     dessert

Time 3h55m

Yield about 30 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces, at room temperature
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 cups confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup meringue powder
Food coloring, optional
Decorating sugar, for topping, optional
Sprinkles, for topping, optional

Steps:

  • For the cookies: Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl.
  • Beat the brown sugar and butter with an electric mixer on medium speed in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes; beat in the egg, then the vanilla. Add the flour mixture and mix on medium-low speed until completely incorporated. Divide the dough in half, pat into 2 discs about 1/4 inch thick, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour and up to overnight.
  • Position oven racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Let the dough sit at room temperature for a few minutes to make rolling easier. Roll out 1 disc of dough at a time between 2 pieces of parchment paper until 1/8 inch thick. Cut out shapes with the cookie cutters and arrange about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake until the cookies are golden brown on the bottom, 10 to 12 minutes. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets until firm enough to transfer to a wire rack; let cool completely.
  • Gently gather any scraps into a ball and press into a disc; wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate the disc until firm enough to roll, about 1 hour. Cut out as many cookies as possible and bake.
  • For the royal icing: Beat the confectioners' sugar, meringue powder and 1/3 cup water with an electric mixer in a large bowl until stiff peaks form. Beat in the food coloring if using. (The icing can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.)

BROWN SUGAR COOKIES

This recipe comes from "A Collection Of The Very Finest Recipes Ever Assembled Into One Cookbook". From 1979. These are amazing cookies. I love sugar cookies, and was skeptical when I saw this recipe, but I thought I'd give it the benefit of the doubt, and just let me say, they are WONDERFUL. *NOTE*: Use fork tines dipped in brown sugar to form. It leaves a nice light "crust" if you will on top.
