These cookies may be a good example of why I should not attempt to fix a broken recipe. The recipe resulted in dry crumbles so I added an egg and some vanilla. Oh my goodness, are these cookies awful. I wouldn't advise making them unless you are going to give them to someone you don't like.
They look nice, don't they? They look like yummy and safe cookies. But when you eat one, you realize that they are terrible and no one should ever eat them. I guess we can call these cookies a failure. Expect another post on Thursday of something edible.
Brown Sugar Drop Cookies (Printer-friendly PDF Version)
1 C brown sugar (packed)
1/2 C shortening
1 egg
1/2 t baking soda
1 3/4 C flour
1 C raisins (or anything else you want to put in/on them)
Cream together the brown sugar and the shortening.
Add the egg and mix until well blended.
While the egg is mixing in, sift the flour and baking soda together. Then add the flour mixture to the mixer and let it do its thing.
You will probably get a crumbly mixture. If you want to be foolish like me, add another egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla. This will make a dough.
Take globs of cookie dough and place them on a cookie sheet. Press raisins, chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, or nothing into the top. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes.
Don't attempt to enjoy these cookies.
If you are foolish and still want to make these cookies, try sifting the flour before measuring. You may not need the extra egg and vanilla. This suggestion comes with no sort of guarantee.
