Aunt Esther's Sugar Cookies

[betup47]

Looks Great!! Does Aunt Esther have a good receipt for frosting?

[brwaldrop]

Delicious! :) very simple recipe. I didn't use the baking soda/ cream of tar tar mix, in stead I used 1tsp of baking powder, it turned out fine. (plus, I cut the ingredients in half, because i didn't want many). Yummy :3 Thank you Aunt Ester lol

coul you use "Smart balance spread/butter" instead of margarine and original butter?

[scarlett24ca]

Just make them and the people who tried them loved it.. I also crushed candycane and added it in to the cookies which gave a peppermint flavor and add a little color. Very nice, I added butter instead of margarine and it worked out.

[rocheliester]

Thank you some much for SHOWING everything. Bcuz the videos i watch usually skip it then show u whhat its supposed to look like then i doubt if they just faked iht. XD

[gogirl929]

[rocheliester]

[1nalawest]

i made them christmas day and I LOVED THEM knda made me think of tea cakes none the less they rocked

[SuperJunior88xoxo]

don't you have to refridgerate for like 1/2 hour first?

[blackcraft2]

No refrigeration is just a martha stewart myth.

all it does is prevent gluten from forming.

[rocheliester]

Its better to refrigerate them if you want to use cookie cutters because its more stiif and easier to work wit. (:

[alyroxx2010]

bakind soda with cream of tar tar is the same thing as baking powder

[LadyLora]

Ohhhh I thought these were "Aunt Esther" from Sanford and Son's gorilla cookies. These look good too.

[freakshow3332]

Is the butter salted? :)

[joejoe447]

nope...never with suger cookies...thats why u add the salt

[freakshow3332]

they look great! I wanna try this but one question: how many cookies does one batch make?

[Luunah09]

awesome! i had to make cookies for a xmas party! they were great!

[CannabisWitch]

Cream Of Tarter is used to help keep the cookies 'white' during the baking process, with out it... they will turn a 'golden brown' instead.

[yoyobmxbaseballfan]

i had no idea! thanks

[LulzCuppieCakes]

Cracking on the side of a bowl = Bad.

Good Awesome French Chefs crack eggs on the counter so no shells accidentally get into the mixture.

[steflondon88]

I thought you had to put baking powder. What does the Cream of "Tartar" do.?

[joejoe447]

keeps the cookies white during the baking process or they get a toasted color

[Kaycey27]
