Day 21 – Sassy Sugar Cookies


We still look for cookie recipes daily.  When we started this adventure we bookmarked a number of recipes that we wanted to consider, but I think both John and I still look online daily for new ideas.  At this point in the process, I think it is fun to keep trying new things so I went with the Sassy Sugar Cookie today.  Why, because it called for cayenne pepper.

I was the one that burned our only batch so far so when the recipe said these burn easily, I decided I better stay close to the oven.

Both of the little elves tried one when they came out of the oven and immediately said they tasted like Snickerdoodles, until right after they finished the cookie – then the heat came.  These taste like a light Snickerdoodle – not as much cinnamon, but you do get a little heat on your tongue at the finish (little heat to me, not sure about normal individuals).

After the first batch, I changed the amount of Turbinado sugar that I used.  The recipe says to roll the dough in the Turbinado, I decided that was a little much so changed to only roll the top of the cookie in the Turbinado.

My only issue was that in some of my later batches, the dough got too warm so it was spreading too much during baking.  I refrigerated the dough for a bit and that seemed to fix the problem.


These are a good sugar cookie with a nice little kick at the end.
