Nana's Sugar Cookies

Posted by Crystal Kellner Sunday, September 01, 2019

Sugar Cookies are traditional and classic. They are the softest and chewy cookie. Ever. Sugar cookies have been around for a long time. July 9th is National Sugar Cookie Day. I imagine they have because it is a simple recipe with simple ingredients

You can dress up or down a sugar cookie, depending on your liking. My mom has always added a simple powdered sugar icing on the top. This time I did the icing, kept some plain and rolled some dough in sprinkles.

It was hard to keep the kids away when I was making the cookies!

blondies Cookies dessert food Snickerdoodle

Snickerdoodle Blondies

Posted by Crystal Kellner Saturday, October 14, 2017

I absolutely love snickerdoodle cookies. My mom made them all the time. I knew when I found this recipe for snickerdoodle blondies, I had to try this.

Snickerdoodles recipe calls for cream of tartar, which most cookie recipes do not. Cream of tartar gives the snickerdoodles a tangy taste and helps the chewy texture.

Snickerdoodles are similar to sugar cookies, but the taste changes when cinnamon is added.

Some times, easy recipes like Snickerdoodle Blondies or Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars are the best way to create something when you are craving cookies.

SNICKERDOODLE BLONDIES PRINT RECIPE

1 cup butter, melted

2 cups sugar

2 tbsp milk

2 large eggs

2 ¾ c flour

1 tsp baking powder

½ tsp cream of tartar

¼ tsp salt

Topping

2 tbsp sugar

1 ½ tsp cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Grease and flour a 13x9 pan, or line with parchment paper.

In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, cream of tartar and salt.

Stir in butter mixture until combined.

Pour batter in 13x9 pan.

To make the topping, combine 2 tablespoons sugar and 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon. Sprinkle over the batter in the pan.

Bake 350 degrees for 25-29 minutes.

Posted by Crystal Kellner Tuesday, December 16, 2014

Peanut butter and chocolate.

These are one of my favorites. I remember my grandma baking these all the time, especially during the week of VBS , and hoping I would see them as the cookie try was passed around!

This makes a great cookie for any occasion, but with the different selection of Hershey Kisses, you can make this for Christmas time as well. These go fast in our house. Everything goes fast in our house!!
