Muz's Drop Sugar Cookies image

This is my first creation on this site and I couldn't think of a better recipe to share with everyone. First off, I'm a 22-year-old man and when I was in my teens, my great-grandmother, who I called Muz, would make sugar cookies all the time for me and my grandparents. They were phenomenal, as she had perfected it over the years. She passed at the young age of 95 in 2006 and left the recipe in one of her boxes. Now that I've been cooking, I found her recipe for her Drop Sugar Cookies last week and made them last night. They are awesome, but you'll learn that when you make them. Enjoy!

Time 30m

Yield 66

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 ½ cups white sugar
½ cup butter, softened
½ cup shortening
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg
2 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon white sugar, or as desired

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Sift flour, salt, and baking soda together in a bowl. Beat 1 1/2 cups sugar, butter, shortening, and vanilla extract together in a separate bowl until thoroughly mixed; add egg and beat until creamy. Stir creamed mixture into flour mixture until smooth; stir in milk. Drop teaspoons of dough onto a baking sheet and flatten each with the bottom of a water glass. Sprinkle the tops of each cookie with enough sugar to cover the entire cookie.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned around the edges, 10 to 12 minutes.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cookies turned out flat and dry. I'll have to try again.

These cookies are a great base recipe. I like to add different mix-ins, like chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit.

I had some trouble getting the cookies to drop evenly from the spoon. Maybe I should try chilling the dough next time.

These cookies are a little too sweet for my taste, but they're still pretty good.

I love that these cookies don't require any chilling time. I can just mix up the dough and bake them right away.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover egg whites. They're also a fun and easy recipe to make with kids.

I'm not usually a fan of drop cookies, but these are an exception. They're so light and fluffy, and the sugar topping gives them a nice crunch.

These cookies are so good! I love the combination of flavors and textures. The dough is soft and easy to work with, and the cookies bake up perfectly.

I've made these cookies several times now and they always turn out perfect. They're soft and chewy on the inside, with a crispy edge. Yum!

These cookies were a hit with my family and friends! They're so easy to make and taste delicious. I'll definitely be making them again.
