Number Of Ingredients 9

½ cup butter, softened
1 ½ cups white sugar
1 cup heavy cream
3 eggs, beaten
⅛ cup boiling water
1 ½ tablespoons bakers' ammonia
½ teaspoon peppermint oil
4 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 ½ teaspoons baking powder

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
  • In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until smooth. Stir in the heavy cream and beaten eggs. Mix the ammonia into the boiling water and stir to dissolve; stir into the butter mixture along with the peppermint oil. Combine the flour and baking powder; stir into the batter until evenly blended. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to 1/4 inch in thickness. Cut into desired shapes with cookie cutters. Place cookies 1 1/2 inches apart onto the prepared cookie sheets.

These cookies are really easy to make, but they're not very impressive. They're kind of bland.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cookies turned out flat and hard. I think I might have overmixed the dough.

I had a hard time finding ammonia at the store, but I finally found it at a specialty baking store.
