For this assignment, I decided to make sugar cookies. I prepared this dish because all the ingredients used are household ingredients. (eg. flour, sugar, butter) Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to make the frosting since I had already used two sticks of butter. However, the cookies already tasted good enough without it. I like this recipe because the cookies don’t expand. What you cut out is basically what you get. This recipe doesn’t require putting the dough in the refrigerator, so that saves extra time.

The cookies turned out super chewy and soft. Everyone in my household enjoyed them. My mom’s boyfriend said that they gave off a shortbread taste. They also taste really good with a glass of milk. I would definitely make them again. Something I had to change was the amount of flour. I’m thinking either I had to add a little more because of the humidity, or I just didn’t put enough since my cup measure says 240mL. The consistency of the dough also changed as I went along. It started breaking apart more. (Maybe due to air exposure)

Something I learned while baking these is that cookie dough is really adjustable. If it’s too dry, you can add some water. If it’s too wet, you can add more flour until you get the play dough-like consistency. Another thing I learned is to prevent the taste of flour on your second batch of cookies, you can wet your hands before you gather the dough.
