And joy of cooking is a wealth of cookie inspiration. If we could pick just one reason to love the 75th anniversary edition, it’s this cookie recipe. The most versatile around. This recipe begins with a basic dough made from butter, sugar, a dash of salt, eggs, vanilla and flour. Here we have the basic dough that we have let chill in the refrigerator. This disc is a third of the dough.
You will want to work with one disc at a time. We have the oven preheated at 350 degrees. Make sure to preheat the oven 20 minutes before baking. To shape the cookies either form the dough into 1 tablespoon balls and place on a cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. Then using the flour coated smooth bottom of a glass or glass bowl, flatten each ball to eighth of an inch thick. Or roll the dough to an eighth of an inch thick. Cut into shapes and arrange about an inch apart.
And now they are ready to bake. After the cookies are golden brown about 8 -10 minutes in a 350 degree oven move them to a wire rack to cool completely. After they cool either ice or leave plain. Now that we have a base possibilities abound. For marble cookies add melted chocolate to half the dough and then combine the two halves to create a marbled look. Or you can make a quick change to tangy lemon butter cookies simply by adding lemon zest along with the vanilla and from there add poppy seeds to the finished dough for lemon poppy seed cookies.
It just goes on and on and all from one basic dough. And with the ideas and recipes found here you will have all you need to start spreading some holiday cheer of your own. Here’s wishing you and yours the joy of the season and the joy of cookies. Courtesy The Joy of Cooking.
