I use the martha stewart one, it's on her website.

You could add some lemon or orange rest for a bit of a "lift"

I have a thread that I posted after I made Awesome sugar cookies only two weeks .... I'll copy it for you...

Recipe for my Awesome cookies !!!!!,

1 cup butter, left out to soften
5 cups of flour, plain
1 tsp bicarbonate soda
1 1/2 cups of sugar
1 tbsp vanilla imitation ' flavoring'
1 tsp salt
2 eggs

In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cover, and chill dough for at least one hour (or overnight).

preheat oven to 180 degrees , and roll out dough to approximate 1- 1.5cm thick, cut with cookie cutters
lay on baking paper 2cm apart
Bake for 6-8 minutes until golden

Let cool

make icing with icing sugar and two egg whites...... Add preferred colouring, or cocoa, and dip top of biscuit into bowl, lay biscuits to dry, or place in fridge to set,

store in an air tight container....... YUMMY

They were soo good I'm going to make more tomorrow I think...and they looked sooo good too....

enjoy !!!!

Make sure you come back and tell us how you go Alicia. I would loooove a great recipe too but I am too lazy to experiment myself (I'm also diabetic so very limited in my tasting abilities but I want to be able to make them for my kids).

I was going to say the best and most moist cookies I have made were using half brown sugar & half white sugar but that recipe was for choc chip cookies too.

ooh, another thing I have done is melt up a block of white chocolate and mix it into the creamed ingredients before adding the flour, yummo.

Ok I currently have 2 batches chilling my fridge!

Number 1 is Mum2Romone's recipe - Is it supposed to be qute crumbly before chilling hun? I made a half batch... Oh and assumed you meant baking powder not bicarb?? Hope so anyway as I went with the baking powder haha!

Number 2 is a Brown Sugar Cookie recipe I found...

The recipe is as follows:

2 cups sifted flour, less if possible
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1 egg
1 tablespoon cream
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
granulated sugar, for decorating

(1). Blend 1 cup flour, baking powder, and salt.

(2). Beat together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg, vanilla, and cream.

(3). Stir the flour mixture into the butter mixture, then add enough of the remaining 1 cup flour to make the dough stiff enough to roll.

(4). Wrap in plastic wrap and chill several hours.

(5). Preheat oven to 375 F. Place on a lightly floured cutting board and roll to 1/8" thickness. Use floured cookie cutters to cut into shapes. Place on an ungreased baking sheet, sprinkle with granulated sugar. Bake 8 minutes.


Soooo, hopefully they work out as I have to make the BIG batch and decorate them all tomorrow! Will pull them out of the fridge tonight, bake a few and let you know how I go!!

Thanks so much girls! If I had more time, I'd try sooo many more recipes! x
