The VERY Best Homemade Sugar Cookies Recipe!
When you cut this recipe in half, how many eggs do you use? Thanks!
Use one egg then beat another egg with a fork in a bowl and use about 2 Tbsp. or half of it- the rest of the egg that is left you can save and use in scrambled eggs or in another recipe. Usually one egg is about 1/4 of a cup or 4 Tbsp. so that is why I said use 2 Tbsp.
Have you ever tried making these dairy free? Trying to decide if it’s worth trying to sub in other ingredients. My 1 year old is still reacting to dairy, though I can eat it now i weaned, but my body does feel better when I also remain dairy free.
No they would not be the same at all I am afraid if you leave out the buttermilk
These were delicious! I just used whole milk and they still turned out great! We did use the frosting to.?
They do ok with the milk and Tawra uses milk quite often but there really is a big difference in the texture with the buttermilk. They seem to be lighter and fluffier but these cookies really are good no matter which you use thank you.
I dont understand the instructions. It seems like you are giving us two different ways to bake them. first one is to form into cookies then chill then bake. the second is to chill dough then roll. which method is correct?
Either way. Just depends on what kind of cookie you want to make.
