BEST SIDECAR RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• If you want to frost the glasses, dip the rim or 4 martini glasses in a shallow plate of lemon juice and then in the sugar. Allow to dry for 15 minutes.
• Combine the Cognac, Triple Sec, and lemon juice in a pitcher. Pour some into a cocktail shaker with ice, shake well and pour into the glasses. Garnish with a cherry or lemon peel.

Steps:

• Cream together the butter, sugar, brown sugar and vanilla until light, about 2 minutes. 
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, soda and salt. If there are any lumps of cocoa powder, sift the dry ingredients before adding to the butter.
• Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix just to combine. Add the milk and mix just to combine. 
• Form the dough into two 1 1/2-inch-thick logs. Wrap well in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour. 
• To bake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment. 
• Slice the log of cookie dough into 1/8-inch-thick coins. 
• Arrange on the baking sheets with about 1 1/2 inches between the cookies. Bake for 8 minutes and then rotate the trays back to front and switch from top and bottom racks. Bake for another 2 minutes or until they are dry looking and firm. Because the cookies are so dark, you can't go by color on these.
