One morning I made a batch of these cookies, finally skipped the last mold in the oven and set the timer. Want to get outside for a bit and see what were the children, I came out and distracted me. At the moment where I was reminded of the cookies in the oven, they had burned and narrowed down to tiny little black hockey pucks - not even the dogs had any interest in them! It pays does not get distracted during cooking. It was the drop of water. I had to think of a better way.
I came up with a great idea that I call my Busy-Mom-method that I use to this day. Rather than take the time to do all the individual cookies in batches, with separate (and), cooking time I would roll the dough directly on a greased baking sheet, he works regularly with the edges and cooked like a big cookie. It is preferable to use a baking sheet that has three open sides, because it is easier to manoeuvre the rolling pin and get evenly rolled biscuit. Remember, also, that a little more flour may be necessary in the dough to allow lifting out and forming into a rough rectangle for the bearing. Also, a bit of extra flour on the rolling surface helps keep the rolling pin to stick. Try not to add any flour longer than necessary, or the cookies will be denser and harder.
It takes a few minutes more in the oven with a large cookie, but it comes out perfectly. It just look for edges to be golden and the centre to define. With these cookies, I am also a glaze simple is just 1 1/2 cup of sugar confectioners, a pinch of salt, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla and enough water or milk to make a fairly thick (very slow to fall from the spoon). This distributed between the oven hot cookie. The hot cookie warm cherry, making it easily melt and spread, using the back of a spoon even I used to mix the frosting. I'm all for less cleaning! Once the cookie cools, the glaze dries and hardens and I just cut the large cookie in the small bar or square shapes and voila, biscuits in half the time. Two of my favorite for this method recipes are Simple vanilla Cookies and hermits. If you are a busy mom, try this method with a paste simple cake. The hermit cookies had raisins in them, but the thickness of the dough was not less than the thickness of the raisins, so it is always worked well.
Simple vanilla Cookies
Makes about 7 dozen
1 cup unsalted butter
2/3 cup sugar
2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
Butter cream, fat and sugar. Add the vanilla and salt. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each. Add the flour, mix well. Move a teaspoon 2 inches apart on a greased cookie sheet. Flatten with glass floured, flat bottom. Bake in oven at 375 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from pan immediately.
These Simple vanilla Cookies are incredibly good, this simple recipe. Don't take my word - try them, either as individual cookies, or with my availability-MOM-method.
