C is for Cookie and that's good enough for me!
With fond recollection of this fine day: ...and a burning need to make this happen again (only with cookies this time), I ask you this pertinent question: What's your favorite cookie recipe? Don't limit yourself to sugar cookies, but if someone has anything remotely like the buttery perfection I had to purchase again at the Provo Bakery this morning, do tell. Please. My new life ambition is to create a comparable cut-out cookie. In the meantime, I guess you'll have to settle for these: Giant Ginger Cookies 4 1/2 c. flour 4 tsp. ground ginger 2 tsp. baking soda 1 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon 1 tsp. ground cloves 1/4 tsp. salt 1 1/2 c. shortening 2 c. sugar 2 eggs 1/2 c. molasses 3/4 c. coarse sugar Stir together dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Beat shortening until softened. Add sugar and beat till fluffy. Add eggs and molasses; beat well. Add half of flour mixture. Mix. Stir in remaining flour mixture. Shape dough into 2" balls for giant cookies; smaller if desired....
