COOKIE TIME – ‘FOUR IN ONE’ COOKIE DOUGH…the versatile sugar cookie!
COOKIE TIME…
I felt a bit like Martha Stewart…though I didn’t get time enough to make 7 cookies out of the same dough! Anyway, barely had time to make 1 portion of sugar cookie dough, my adapted recipe that I trust blindly! This time I made 4 different sorts outta the one dough…hence, decided to call ’em ‘FOUR-IN-ONE COOKIES’…
Its great fun making these, & this is the first time I’ve made a variety out of the same dough. I made between 2-3 dozen of each type, & the son has literally begged me for ‘any broken or burnt ones that you don’t need’ cookies! I’ve posted the first 3 before…links included. The 4th type were dipped into melted dark chocolate, then dipped into sprinkles, & once set, were drizzled over with white chocolate. Simple, yet effective!
-
Smartie Cookies…using M ‘n’ M’s– Can use Smarties, M ‘n’ M’s, Gems…whatever!
-
Stained Glass Cookies
Before baking…crushed candy in the cut-outs!
-
Drizzled Chocolate Cookies : Made regular cut-out cookies, randomly dipped the edge of some first into melted dark chocolate & then sprinkles; others I drizzled with melted dark chocolate & sprinkled coloured strands over. Finished all off with a drizzle of melted white chocolate!
I thought this was a good idea as it added a lot of variety to my normal platter of Iced Party Cookies. Additionally it gave me a canvas to work on, & made me wish I had time to try some other sorts too. Had plenty of ideas in mind – like Sandwiched Buttercream Cookies, Cut-out Jam Cookies…then again, ‘If wishes were horses…’
CRISP & BUTTERY…on a roll!

About me: I am a freelance food writer, recipe developer and photographer. Food is my passion - baking, cooking, developing recipes, making recipes healthier, using fresh seasonal produce and local products, keeping a check on my carbon footprint and being a responsible foodie! I enjoy food styling, food photography, recipe development and product reviews. I express this through my food photographs which I style and the recipes I blog. My strength lies in 'Doing Food From Scratch'; it must taste as good as it looks, and be healthy too. Baking in India, often my biggest challenge is the non-availability of baking ingredients, and this has now become a platform to get creative on. I enjoy cooking immensely as well.
