Tea BiscuitsSUMMARY
Yield 0 File under Cookies Brownies BarsINSTRUCTIONS
1 ½ cups white sugar
1 cup butter, softened
2 eggs, beaten
4 cups AP flour
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanillaAdditional unsalted butter, melted for brushing tops
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cream the butter and sugar. Add eggs and beat well. Sift flour, baking soda, and baking powder together. Fold into batter. Add vanilla. Chill dough for 30 minutes.
Roll out the dough on floured board to desired thickness. Cut out and place on very lightly greased cookie sheets, about 1.5-2 inches apart. Bake about 12 minutes or until done. The cookies should be blond in color, not brown. Remove from the oven and brush the tops with melted butter. Remove and cool on a rack.
Yield: about 24 large cookies
1. I divide the dough and only roll out half of it at a time, keeping unused portion in frig', to keep it from getting too warm. You can also just scoop out (or grab!) portions of dough and pat them out, but they might not be quite as uniform in size and shape.
2. I add vanilla bean seeds sometimes for extra flavor.
3. At Christmas and Valentine's, I put colored sugars on the tops for fun. You can also use fancy cookie cutters, like hearts and Christmas trees, etc.
4. Kids love these cookies.
5. The size of your cutters is up to you. Obviously, you get more cookies
