SMALL BATCH COOKIES RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
• Combine sugar and garam masala in small bowl; set aside.
• Combine brown sugar, butter and peanut butter in bowl. Beat on medium speed until well mixed. Add egg yolk and vanilla; continue beating until well mixed. Add flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Beat at low speed until well mixed.
• Shape dough into 1 1/2-inch balls; roll in sugar mixture. Place, 2 inches apart, onto prepared cookie sheet. Flatten balls in criss-cross pattern with fork dipped in sugar mixture.
• Bake 8-10 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.

Steps:

• Cream sugar and butter in a deep bowl.
• Add egg yolk and vanilla extract. Mix until everything is well-blended.
• Add sour cream and mix again. I think sour cream added some moisture to these cookies and prevented them from becoming very hard.
• Add flour, baking powder and salt.
• Mix everything. The batter will start to curdle and look odd. That’s perfectly normal… you haven’t done anything wrong.
• When the curdling happens, it’s time to use your hands to start mixing until you form a ball of cookie dough!
• Roll this dough between 2 sheets of wax paper or parchment paper.
• Use a cookie cutter to cut out cookie shapes.
• Bake these cookies on a cookie tray, lined with parchment paper at 350 degrees for 6 minutes. Then rotate your tray and bake for another 3 minutes. Your baking times may vary depending on the thickness of your cookies. Cookies are done when they are light golden brown along the edges. 
• Allow the cookies to cool down completely before removing them from the parchment paper. Enjoy!
