Crackled Sugar Cookies image

There is another recipe by this title on zaar, however this one is different in that it cooks at a lower temperature for a longer time to get the edges set, the tops crackled, and yet still be tender to bite. It also calls for a bit more sugar...give it a try!

Time 45m

Yield 48 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup shortening
2 cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/8 teaspoon salt
3 egg yolks
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups flour

Steps:

  • In large bowl, beat butter and shortening on high for 30 seconds.
  • Add sugar, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt and beat until combined.
  • Beat in egg yolks and vanilla until combined.
  • Mix in flour until well combined.
  • Shape into 1 inch balls and place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
  • Bake at 300 degrees for about 20 minutes or until tops are just slightly crackled and sides are set.
  • Do not let edges brown -- if they do they are over done and will not be tender.
  • Transfer to wire rack to cool.
  • May freeze up to 3 months.
