With the time of year in mind I chose to make cookies today. This recipe was torn out of an insert that was in the Canadian Living Magazine.
It is another double sided recipe.
I did not have to buy anything to execute this recipe. If you enjoy baking on a regular basis you should have all of the ingredients.
Here are the ingredients for the dough:
I love the way the brown sugar looks.
I made the dough in my mixer and then divided it. Put it in the fridge to chill for 2 hours.
After two hours I took one half and proceeded to roll the dough to the instructed 1/8' thickness. I personally think that is too thin. My first rolling attempt was not successful. The dough stuck to the counter. Solution: more flour. I chose to cut my cookies into stars. Again referencing the holiday theme. I cut out the bases of the cookies and then the tops. The first time I did the tops I cut out the center while it was on my counter. Not a good idea. I had difficulty moving it from the counter to the cookie sheet. After re-rolling the scraps, I cut the tops, put them whole onto the cookie sheet and then cut out the center.
Although the recipe did not instruct it, I placed the cookie sheets into the fridge for approximately 5 minutes. Then I put them in the oven. The instruction say to bake them for 9-12 minutes. My oven seems to be hotter then the ovens used by recipe makers so, I set my timer for 7 minutes.They were not done after 7 minutes so I added 3 minutes and ended up with these.
They were done a little to well for my liking.
The frosting ingredients are staples in my home.
It was easy to make.
I assembled the cookies and took them over the third Christmas dinner I have had this year.
This recipe was ok. Nothing too special. I like the flavour combination. Somewhat time consuming. The cookies could be more spicy. The frosting was sweet and over powered the flavour of the cookies. I am going to TOSS this recipe.
