Simple Sugar Cookie

Simple Sugar Cookie

The concept of a good homemade cookie has always fascinated me. Those delicious well-balanced flavors that crumble and melt in the mouth at the same time fill my mind with fantasies. I have tried quite a few recipes and even though I have liked most of them I have been waiting for the perfect one. For me, a perfect recipe is one that I will go to every time I want to make a particular dish.
A sugar cookie is a very simple recipe. Yet, finding one that has a good balance is difficult. After having tried a few different recipes this is one that I will make over and over again. The sugar content is perfect for it to be had as a plain cookie and a little decoration will completely transform it into something beautiful.
I have always been a huge fan of all the beautiful delicacies that are made by Heather at Sprinkle Bakes. So when I read that she was releasing a book I just had to get myself a copy. This is the first recipe in the book and the first one I have tried and I love it. I am looking forward to making all of these beauties.
Simple Sugar Cookies

Preparation
(Adapted from the book: Sprinkle Bakes)
Butter softened 100 grams
Granulated sugar ½ cups
Egg, lightly beaten 1
Vanilla essence ½ Tsp.
All-purpose flour/Maida 2 cups
Notes :
•The original recipe had salt in the list which I did not add as I was using salted Amul butter.
•The recipe I have made is half of the original recipe. However, I decided to add in the full egg which made the batter soft and I further added ½ cup Maida, thus the quantity is 2 cups.
•The next time I make this recipe I will add ¾ cup sugar. Or use half an egg and keep the Maida at 1 ½ cups.
•The dough softens very quickly if you follow my recipe. But it rolls out beautifully and is firm for 5 – 7 minutes. So ready all your ammunition before pulling it out of the fridge. Also during summers, it is best rolled out in an a.c. room.
•I will remake this recipe with ½ eggs and report the changes.
Since I have given so May options it is only fair I give you the original to compare with.
Butter, softened 2 sticks/ ½ pound
Granulated sugar 1 cup plus 2 tbsp.
Egg, lightly beaten 1
Vanilla extracts 1 Tsp
All-purpose flour, plus more for rolling 3 cups
Pinch of salt
Procedure:
•Mix the butter and sugar till just incorporated. You may use a stand mixer with the paddle attachment or a hand blender. Do not over mix or the cookies will spread while baking.
• Mix the egg and vanilla essence with low speed

•Add the flour and mix on low till a dough forms.
•The texture of the dough should not be sticky. Wrap the dough tightly in a clip wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
•Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
•Work on a well-floured working area and knead the dough slightly and flatten to a disc.
•With a floured rolling pin, roll dough to ¼” thickness.
•Cut out desired shapes and transfer to baking sheet.
•Refrigerate for 30 minutes. This will help the cookies hold their shape while baking.

•Bake for 15 -20 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

This cookie tastes really great and to impart the habit of eating healthy food preparation and give these cookies for the snacks temptation of your kids.
