Tips:
- Measure accurately: Precise measurements are essential for successful baking. Use a kitchen scale for the most accurate results.
- Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy: This step incorporates air into the mixture, resulting in a lighter, more tender cookie.
- Use real vanilla extract: Pure vanilla extract provides a richer, more complex flavor than imitation vanilla.
- Chill the dough before baking: This helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown: Over-baking will dry them out, so keep a close eye on them in the oven.
- Let the cookies cool completely before filling: This will help prevent the filling from seeping out.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature: They will keep for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Flying saucer cookies are a fun and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with simple ingredients and can be customized with a variety of fillings. With a little creativity, you can create unique and delicious cookies that everyone will love.
