The arrival of autumn has brought with it a plethora of delightful things, and today marks the second day of this season. Fall is my favorite season because of the pumpkins, mums, apple picking, and sweets. It will soon be cookie season. Delightful sugar biscuits, indeed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They go well with a steaming mug of coffee or a large glass of milk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
With a few pointers, you can make these simple homemade sugar cookies taste better than the store-bought kind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Make a medium-sized bowl and mix the flour, baking soda, salt, and cream of tartar. Get out your hand mixer and whip the sugar and butter in a big basin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gradually add the eggs, mixing just until combined. Add vanilla extract and whisk in the flour mixture in thirds, blending just until combined. After scraping down the bowl, beat for another minute or less. Put the cover on and chill for at least one hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To make the balls, roll the dough into a 1 inch diameter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before placing on baking pans lined with parchment paper, roll each dough ball in sugar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Use the palm of your hand to gently push the balls down until the mixture is about 1\/2 inch thick. To get a little browning on the sides and a set in the middle, bake for 10 to 12 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cookies Inspired by the Classic Southern Tea Cake<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before setting aside, mix the flour, salt, and baking soda in a medium-sized basin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Put the sugar and butter in the bowl of your mixer and whip them on high until they are smooth and fluffy, which should take approximately four or five minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Add one egg and vanilla essence, then beat on medium speed until combined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Finally, reduce mixer speed to low and add flour mixture in thirds, mixing well after each addition to combine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To firm up the dough, when it is well combined, put it in a Ziploc bag and refrigerate for at least an hour. when that, switch off the mixer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Take the dough out of the fridge and have your oven ready to bake at 325 degrees when it’s firm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Spread parchment paper on a baking sheet\u2013line it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
form out enough cookie dough to fill a measuring tablespoon, and then form it into a ball. Press down slightly in the middle with your thumb to flatten a little, then set on the serving platter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Keep at least 1 1\/2 inches of space between each dough ball as you repeat with the remaining dough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Take it out of the oven after 9 to 11 minutes, or when the edges start to become golden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rest for five to ten minutes before serving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Important Note: All components must be at room temperature before use. A fantastic, well-mixed dough will result from their improved incorporation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you put your freshly made Southern Tea Cakes in an airtight container and keep them at room temperature, they will retain their delicious flavor for up to a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The tea cakes may be frozen for up to three months if you want to prolong their delicious texture; just wrap them firmly before freezing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
