CLASSIC OLD-FASHIONED SUGAR COOKIES



Classic Old-Fashioned Sugar Cookies image

Handed down from my great-grandmother Ferdig, this classic sugar cookie recipe is rich in flavor and can be cut thick for softer cookies or rolled paper-thin for crispy cookies. They freeze very well and I've never found a recipe I like better ... but then I am a little biased. Prep time does not include time to chill cookie dough.

Time 18m

Yield 2 dozen, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
3 cups flour
1 cup butter, softened at room temperature
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla

Steps:

  • Combine baking soda, cream of tartar and flour mixing well. With your hands, knead in softened butter.
  • In a small bowl, beat eggs and mix well with sugar and vanilla.
  • Pour egg mixture into flour mixture and again using your hands, mix this really well.
  • Chill dough. It will be quite hard when it is completely chilled. Using a table knife, cut off chunks to roll out on a well-flour surface to desired thickness - thin cookies will get crispy when baked, thicker cookies will puff and stay soft. Cut into desired shapes.
  • Bake in a 350 degree oven until the edges begin to brown; be careful not to overcook if you want them to stay soft after cooling!
  • After completely cooled, decorate the cookies. These will freeze really well!

Tips:

  • Choose ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful the bread will be.
  • Use a combination of flours. This will give the bread a more complex flavor and texture.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the bread tough.
  • Bake the bread at a moderate temperature. This will help it to rise evenly and prevent it from becoming dry.
  • Cool the bread completely before slicing it. This will help to prevent it from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Classic Old Fashioned Banana Bread is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a moist, flavorful bread that is sure to be a hit with family and friends. So next time you have some ripe bananas on hand, be sure to give this recipe a try.
