Its been slow.....

So I'm procrasinating.

I do not want to do laundry. I've been avoiding it all day and I know that it needs to be done. Ugh.

On to better things. I made sugar cookies today, they were super good. There used to be this place in the Wenatchee mall (back when it was an "inside"mall) called "shellys" I believe. They made the best sugar cookies ever! I have been trying to recreate that recipe for a long time and I think that I've finally got it. Again, they are huge....Im not a fan of small cookies. So here you go.

Alicia's Sugar Cookies

1C powdered sugar

1C sugar

1C butter

1C oil

2 eggs

1t cream of tartar

1t baking soda

1t salt

4 1/2 C Bread flour (you can use AP if you want, I just like the texture of bread flour better)

1t vanilla extract

Mix sugars, butter, oil, and eggs together. Add dry ingredients and vanilla. Refrigerate until firm.

Scoop into balls using a #20 disher (about the size a "normal" ice cream scoop produce, not a cookie baller) Roll balls in granulated sugar or dip tops in coarse sugar. Bake at 325 for 18 min. These are big! Dont let them brown or they will change flavors.
