I really did not want to go shopping today so I decided to
search for a recipe that would use the ingredients I already had. I searched
for a recipe that would use flour and brown sugar and found a recipe for Shortbread
cookies. I had to barrow the butter and regular sugar from my neighbor, Raven Canty at Meals $25 or Less.
Ingredients
½ cup butter
1 tablespoon regular sugar
3 tablespoons brown sugar
½ teaspoon cinnamon
1 ¼ cup flour
Pre- heat oven to 350 degrees.
Cut the butter into pieces and add to the dry ingredients. Then
mix together. It is easier to mix with your hands I didn't even attempt to use
a spoon. Also if you don’t use enough butter it is easy to tell because the
dough will not stick together.
Pinch of pieces of dough and roll into balls. Each ball should be about an inch in width. Then
flatten using a fork or spatula.
Place on a pan and bake for about 20 minutes.
Then let cool and enjoy.
These cookies are not very rich and are a nice break from
the rich desserts I normally make.
