CORNER BAKERY SUGAR COOKIE RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees, and in a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt; set aside.
• In a large bowl and using a mixer, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes; add the eggs one at a time until fully incorporated, then beat in the vanilla; beat in the flour mixture, a spoonful at a time, just until incorporated, then gently fold in the oats and currants (or raisins).
• Scoop a generous 2 tablespoons of dough into a ball and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet; flatten the ball slightly and repeat, spacing the balls about 3 inches apart (you should be able to fit 6 cookies on a standard-size sheet).
• Bake until the cookies are golden and set, 18 to 20 minutes, rotating halfway through for even baking; remove and cool the cookies from the sheet, and cool (still on the parchment) on a rack.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°.
• In a medium bowl, cream together the sugars and shortening using an electric mixer.
• Mix on slow speed 30 seconds, then scrape down the bowl with a spatula.
• Increase speed to medium and mix for 3 minutes.
• Slowly add vanilla and beaten egg while mixing.
• In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Gradually add the flour mixture to the mixing bowl, mixing on slow speed until just blended. Do not overmix.
• Scoop with an ice-cream scoop and roll in sugar.
• Place directly on cookie sheet. Flatten slightly with palm of hand.
• Bake at 375° for 9-10 minutes. Cookies are done when small cracks appear and are pale golden. Ideally, the edges do not brown.
