FOOTHILLS HOUSE SWEET DREAMS COOKIES

Another recipe from Bon Appetit magazine (February 1986). This came from Foothills House, in Calistoga, California. I've never stayed there but from the online reviews, it's a wonderful little country inn with fabulous service and as of 2008 they were still giving these cookies to their guests every night. If I'm ever in that part of California for the night, I'm going to stay there! These are sweetly spiced cinnamon and ginger flavoured chocolate chip cookies rolled in powdered sugar before baking. I'm very glad the owner of the inn shared these with Bon Appetit.

I've been making these cookies for many years. The recipe originally comes from the Foothill House B&B but I found it in a community cookbook. Refrigerating time is not included in the prep or cook time.

Time 30m

Yield 6 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup butter
1 1/2 cups firmly packed light brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 (12 ounce) package semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Cream together butter and brown sugar; beat in egg and vanilla.
  • Combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger and salt. Blend into butter mixture.
  • Fold in chocolate chips and walnuts.
  • Refrigerate until firm.
  • Preheat oven to 375°.
  • Lightly grease baking sheets.
  • Break off small pieces of dough; roll between palms into 1-inch rounds. Dredge rounds in powdered sugar.
  • Arrange rounds on prepared sheets, spacing at least 2-inches apart.
  • Bake 10 minutes.
  • Let cool 5 minutes on sheets. Transfer to racks and cool.
  • Store in airtight container.

Tips:

  • Use Fresh Berries: Fresh berries add a burst of flavor and sweetness to the Sweet Dreams dessert. Choose ripe, juicy berries for the best results.
  • Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough before baking helps to prevent it from spreading too much and also makes it easier to handle.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake Until a Toothpick Inserted into the Center Comes Out Clean: This is the best way to ensure that the cake is cooked through without overbaking.
  • Let the Cake Cool Completely Before Frosting: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting and also make it easier to spread evenly.

Conclusion:

The Sweet Dreams dessert is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist, tender cake, creamy frosting, and fresh berry filling, this dessert is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. Whether you are looking for a special dessert for a party or just a simple treat for yourself, the Sweet Dreams dessert is a great choice. Give it a try today and see for yourself why it is a favorite among many!
