Recipe for Crunchy Crispies
(Original recipe: Vanilla Crispies by Doris Brohard)
1 cup sugar
1 cup organic butter
1 farm fresh brown egg
2 teaspoons homemade vanilla
2 cups organic flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. cream of tartar
Beat sugar, butter, egg and vanilla in (dear friend Tracy's
Red Cadillac Kitchen Aid Mixer) a large bowl.
Stir in remaining ingredients.
Place on a sheet of plastic wrap, roll into a 3" log.
Refrigerate for at least two hours, or overnight.
Oven to 375 degrees F.
Pour some sugar in a shallow dish.
Cut dough into 1/4" thick slices,
dip each side in the sugar and
space about 2" apart on cookie sheet.
Bake until light brown, 8-10 minutes.
Cool slightly before lifting to cooling rack.
Makes about 6 dozen.
What do these late winter days look, sound and
feel like where you are?

Make no mistake - I'm happy to have just come back from gathering shells - but those blue days of waning winter - I do love those - and miss them. Lovely photos and cookies!
ReplyDeleteThanks T.! There is a certain stillness and peace in those long shadows. Don't worry, they may very well still be here when you return! :)
DeleteThose cookies look devine and my mouth is watering! I think I will make them tomorrow! :)
ReplyDeleteLet me know if you try them - I'd be curious to hear what you think of them. I was pleasantly surprised to find them right between the fluffy sugar cookie and the super crispy kind. Homemade vanilla, definitely! xo
DeleteI didn't get to make them today but will for Thursday. We are going to a friends for dinner and I can bring these for dessert :)
