CRACKED SUGAR COOKIES



Cracked Sugar Cookies image

This is a family favorite sugar cookie recipe handed down to me from my mom. When my husband was deployed to Iraq, he was always excited to receive a box of these in the mail. I always make sure to watch these closely and take them out of the oven before they brown. If they brown, they will end up too hard and crunchy.

MOM'S CRACKED SUGAR COOKIES



Mom's Cracked Sugar Cookies image

This is a sugar cookie that you don't have to roll and cut. I always use a cookie scoop when making these. The last time I made them I had some organic cane sugar that I used to roll them in, it really seemed to add some extra sparkle to the finished cookies. The note my Mom had on the recipe is DO NOT double or flatten the cookies. The cookies will turn out slightly differently if you use a hand mixer or a big stand mixer. I use my KitchenAid stand mixer & bake the cookies for 10 minutes. They turn out flatter, slightly soft & chewy, just the way I like them. If you use a stand mixer you could chill your dough or add 2 tsp of instant clearjeI to it to stop the cookies from spreading as much. I think they would make a wonderful icecream sandwich.

Time 55m

Yield 48 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/4 cups sugar
1 cup butter, softened
3 large egg yolks, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Lightly grease two baking sheets.
  • Cream sugar and butter together until light.
  • Beat in yolks and vanilla.
  • Sift together the measured sifted flour, baking soda and cream of tartar then fold into the butter sugar mixture.
  • Form dough into walnut size balls.
  • Place 2" apart on the cookie sheets.
  • Do not flatten.
  • Bake for about 11 minutes until the tops are cracked and just turning color.
  • Cool on cookie sheet 2 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the taste of your cookies. Use real butter, not margarine, and use a good quality sugar. It is also a good idea to try to find fresh eggs.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies to hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much. You can chill the dough for up to 3 days in advance; just be sure to let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before baking.
  • Don't over-mix the dough: Over-mixing can make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature: This will help the cookies to get a crispy exterior and a chewy interior.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them: This will help to prevent them from becoming soft and sticky.

Conclusion:

Cracked sugar cookies are a delicious and classic treat that are perfect for any occasion. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect cracked sugar cookies every time. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
