We have been really good about staying home and trying to be extra careful when we do go out. Just before tighter restrictions were enacted (Thank you to all the boneheads and selfish jerks who put us in this position) we were able to make it out to a vintage market. It felt great to be outside! Good food! Great atmosphere! Masks and distancing everywhere! I had to stop myself from buying too much! I did snag a couple of old cooking pamphlets. Sadly, I had to leave a few behind. Danm Holiday gift giving! :)
I think the guy is a little creepy...
It's not often that I pick a recipe based on the photo. The photos usually do not make the food look very... tasty. Usually they look .... not good, very not good. But, for whatever reason, this picture called to me. These cookies looked soooooo good! I just had to make them.
Pretty standard looking recipe but cloves and nutmeg in sugar cookies? Okay, we'll try. Naturally no time on the recipe. I'm happy there is the temp at least!
Well, I had to add a bit more flour to the dough to thicken it and added a lot of flour onto my marble to get it to roll out and not stick on everything. I also had to roll out the dough a little bit at a time since my marble slab is not very large.
They are looking so cute! I am excited!
Cookie time!
A little crispy and a little chewy. Perfect for snacking!
I was pretty surprised by these. You will not mistake it for a spice cookie, it is definitely a sugar cookie. The spices were very subtle and definitely added a little something to them. I was afraid that the extra flour I had to add would make them tough but that wasn't the case. I would probably use less liquid next time to try get them a bit more crispier. They didn't spread much so these would probably be great for fancy cookie cutters. I might have to do these again for the holidays. I have some great vintage cookie cutters to try.
My Rating: Great! I'd make again.
Dylan's Rating: I love sugar cookies!!
