Vanilla Dreams image

A very old-fashioned flat,crisp cookie using baker's ammonia. This eliminates the baking soda/baking powder taste from the cookies, leaving pure flavor. From the King Arthur flour sack.

Time 1h

Yield 3 dozen cookies, 36 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/4 cups sugar
1 cup unsalted butter
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon baking ammonia
1/4 cup coarse crystallized sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Lightly grease two baking sheets.
  • Beat together the sugar, butter, salt and vanilla.
  • Add the flour and baker's ammonia and beat for up to 5 minutes, until the dough comes together. It will seem quite dry at first, but keep beating, eventually it will clump up and become cohesive.
  • Break off pieces of dough about the size of a large gumball. Roll them into balls, then roll them in coarse sugar.
  • Put them on the prepared baking sheets, and use the bottom of a glass to flatten them to about 1/4" thick.
  • Bake the cookies for 25 to 30 minutes, until they are a very light golden brown around the edges.
  • Remove them from oven and transfer to a rack to cool.
