Okay, okay, so I never came back to write about the day 12 topic last night, which was Christmas Decorations. (Maybe this was a little intentional. I still don't have my tree up. So embarrassing.)
I will have to write on that later. Moving on to Day 13 in the blog challenge is Favorite Cookie Recipe. Yay!
Check out these lovelies from Southern Living's All-Time Favorite Cookie Recipes, published in 1995. (I had to order this cookbook used on eBay a few years ago because it's out of print, and this recipe is so old that you can't even find it on their online database. wowza.)
Double-Chocolate Sugar Cookies
(from Southern Living)
1 (12-ounce) package semisweet chocolate morsels, divided
1 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 cup sugar
1 large egg
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sugar
Melt 1 cup semisweet chocolate morsels in a heavy saucepan over low heat, reserving remaining morsels. Set aside.
Beat butter at medium speed of an electric mixer until creamy; gradually adding 1 cup sugar, beating well. Add egg, milk, and vanilla, mixing well. Add melted morsels, mixing until blended.
Combine flour and next 3 ingredients; gradually add to creamed mixture, mixing well. Stir in remaining chocolate morsels.
Shape dough into balls, 1 tablespoon at a time; roll balls in 1/2 cup sugar (I love to use colored sanding sugar for different holidays, parties, etc! Makes it a little more festive, I think!). Place on lightly greased cookie sheets.
Bake at 400 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes. (Cookies will be soft and will firm up as they cool.) Remove to wire racks to cool.
Yield: 4 1/2 dozen.
They are so delicious! And you probably have all of the ingredients in your pantry and fridge already, which is always a plus in my book. :)
I plan on making these for my Sunday School Christmas party on Saturday, so check back for pictures then!
Happy Sunday, everyone!
These sound so good!
