SUBSTITUTIONS FOR GRANULATED SUGAR RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. While that heats up, grab a baking tray and line with non-stick baking paper.
• Mix the white granulated sugar and softened butter. We recommend using an electric mixer for this step. Keep mixing until the mixture appears fluffy.
• Add vanilla extract and combine with the mixture. Add an egg and fully combine. Then add the second egg and whisk again.
• Sift all purpose flour into a mixing bowl. Add the baking soda and salt into this dry mixture too.
• Now it is time to combine both mixtures. For the best results, use an electric mixer. Slowly add the dry mixture to the wet. Try not to overwork the mixture as this can have a negative effect on the final outcome of your bake.
• Pour in the chocolate chips and ensure that they are as evenly distributed as possible.
• Scoop out even amounts of the cookie dough and put onto your lined baking tray. Leave a two inch gap between each cookie. This will keep them from baking into one huge cookie!
• Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes.
• Put cookies onto a cooling rack and serve when fully cooled down to room temperature.

Steps:

• For the Sugar Cookies, mix flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt in medium bowl. Set aside.
• Beat granulated sugar and butter in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla; mix well. Gradually beat in flour mixture on low speed until well mixed. Refrigerate 2 hours or until firm.
• Meanwhile, for the Colored Sugar, place sugar in resealable plastic bag. Add 5 drops of desired food colors. Add more food color, a drop or two at a time, if more intense color is desired. Seal bag and knead gently until color is evenly distributed. Spread in thin layer on baking sheet and break up any large lumps. Allow to dry thoroughly, about 15 to 20 minutes. Sift or press through sieve to return sugar to its original texture, if needed. Set aside.
• Preheat oven to 400°F. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Roll in Colored Sugar. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
• Bake 6 to 8 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on baking sheets 1 minute. Remove to wire racks; cool completely.
