We love Valentines Day so much, we are going to be celebrating all week! First up, Mocha has one of his favorite sugar cookie recipes to share with you. A family recipe from his grandmother, you just have to try it to believe it!
You Will Need:
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
-
2/3 cup butter
-
1 cup sugar
-
1 beaten egg
-
2 tablespoons milk
-
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions:
Step 1: In ONE bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
Step 2: In a SECOND bowl, mix butter and sugar together.
Step 3: In the SECOND bowl mixture, blend in your beaten egg, milk and vanilla.
Step 4: Blend in the ingredients from the first bowl into the mixture in the second bowl. Do this slowly. If it is too difficult to mix the ingredients with a spoon or fork, don’t be afraid to get your hands dirty!
Step 5: Chill the mixture for at least an hour, but no longer than two hours.
STOP! While you’re waiting, HAVE A SNACK!
Step 6: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
Step 7: Roll your dough to about 1/8th of an inch in thickness on a floured surface. Cut into hearts (for valentines day, of course!) or any shape of your desire!
OPTIONAL: Decorate your cookies with some sprinkles!
Step 8: Bake on an ungreased cookie sheet for ten minutes (your cookies should not have browned when they are finished).
