Louise's Crackled Sugar Cookies

Vanilla, Lemon and Orange Extract, have you ever heard of a cookie with all those flavors? Jack is amazed on how the sides are crisp but with a soft crackled puffy center. He loves them.

Wilson was my apprentice today- his job was mixing the butter & sugar and rolling the ball of dough in sugar. He said this was his favorite part.

The easiest part of the recipe was the cookie dough assembly. As I was cruising along getting ready to drop them onto the pan, I notice in bold letters "Put no more than 6 on a cookie sheet". A big screech in the fast department. That is 14 min per pan, then cool, then re- set. Thankfully I have 3 Silpats and 3 pans to make this a turn key operation. I still might be here all day. But I can say these are worth the wait. So you may see me later for a delivery or you may not....

My tip for the day:

Get a convection oven, to eliminate the one sheet baking method.

  4. I thought the same thing Sharon did and checked the book for the picture!! They look wonderful. I especially love it when the kids get to help in the kitchen. A good way to learn life-long skills in a fun environment. Theresa G.

  5. So Sharon, convection ovens really do work for baked goods? I have one and am chicken to try, but I guess I will if a Pro like you does it.
