Mrs. Anna at Pleasant View Schoolhouse had a recipe for these lovely cookies on her blog, and I decided to make them. For 5 minutes after my family tried them all I heard was "mmmmm, wow. mmmmm, wow." They liked them enormously. :) Try it out and tell me how your family likes them!Beat 2 eggs until light.
Blend in 1 c. sugar
and 1 c. cream.
Mix in 3 3/4 c. flour
1 T. baking powder
and 1 t. salt.
Chill for an hour.
Roll out to 3/8 inch thick on floured board, then cut into 2" squares. Use the back of a knife blade to press a tic-tac-toe design onto the top of each cookie.
Grease the baking sheet and bake at 375 for 10-13 minutes.
Frost with a dab of buttercream and garnish with strawberry slices, or a tiny lemon twist and a mint leaf, or a single perfect raspberry . . . .

Wow. I have been looking at her blog for about a month. The world is sure small. :)
ReplyDeleteThose look delicious.
Those look sooo yummy!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure they didn't last long!
My dad's a Marine so, yes,
we do live on base and it has it's ups and downs.
We're glad to have the larger 4 bedrooms, though. :)
I hope you have a great week.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteI am making these and my first 2 batches have come out. I haven't frosted them yet, but my cookies taste bland. Did I do something wrong? Thanks
I haven't made these in years, actually, but they are a little bland. The actual "cookie" part is more of a very sweet bread as opposed to a cookie. With the buttercream frosting and some fruit they are just perfect. :-) I hope that helps.
