So for this old fashion sweet cookie I recommend using homemade jam and claim these puppies as "authentically homemade" from start to finish.
You will need:1.5 cups of Brown Sugar
3/4 cup butter
2 eggs
1.5 tsp vanilla (you know I think Dominican pure vanilla extract is by far the best, If you have it use only .5 tsp)
2 cups flour
1tsp baking soda
.5 tsp salt.
This is so easy:
In a large bowl mix brown sugar, butter, vanilla and eggs with a mixer. Add the flour, baking soda and salt. Stir with a wooden spoon.
Using a tablespoon baller roll dough into balls, roll in a little white sugar if you have some, and place on cookie sheet. Flatten with your hand. Make a thumb impression in the centre fill with little dollops of homemade jam. I used strawberry jam for this receipe and it was DELISH!
Bake 12 minutes @ 350*. They wont look done but as you also know.. Kristi & I are big fans of letting cookies finish baking on their racks. You will definately want a cup of tea with these cookies.
You will easily get at least 3 Dozen.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Dont be tempted to make these small. Often times when they are smaller they come out more plump but drier... go for the tablespoon size and enjoy the sticky sweet yumminess!
