And of course, I completely forgot to take pictures while I was making them. Here's the recipe. They are so good! I've made them a few times and they always come out great!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Ingredients</span><br />4 cups sifted all-purpose flour<br />1/2 tsp salt<br />1 tsp baking powder<br />1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter<br />2 cups sugar<br />2 large eggs<br />2 tsp pure vanilla<br />or<br />2 tsp fresh lemon juice and zest of 2 lemons<br />1/4 cup fine sanding sugar, for decorating (optional)<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b7d701b3127ccebc62157180f500000026108Absmjli1bt8"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px;" src="http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b7d701b3127ccebc62157180f500000026108Absmjli1bt8" border="0" alt="" /></a><span style="font-weight:bold;"><br />Directions</span><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">1.</span> In a large bowl, sift together flour, salt, and baking powder. Set aside.<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">2.</span> Use an electric mixer to cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in eggs.<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">3.</span> Add flour mixture and mix on low speed until thoroughly combined. Stir in vanilla or lemon juice and zest. Wrap dough in plastic; chill for about 30 minutes.<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">4.</span> Preheat oven to 325F. On a floured surface, roll dough to 1/8" thick. Cut into desired shapes. Transfer to ungreased cookie sheets; refrigerate until firm, about 15 min. Remove from refrigerator and decorate with sanding sugar if desired. Bake until edges just start to turn brown, 8-10 minutes. Cool on wire rack. May be stored at room temperature in an air tight container for up to 2 weeks.<br /><br /><br />I made a double batch of dough about a week in advance and stored it in the freezer. I ended up baking them 3 days before the wedding. We put them in clear bags and tied with pretty fall colored ribbon. They were still great the day of the wedding!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b7d701b3127ccebc6215e3806700000026108Absmjli1bt8"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px;" src="http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b7d701b3127ccebc6215e3806700000026108Absmjli1bt8" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b7d731b3127ccebc63b841794200000005108Absmjli1bt8"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px;" src="http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b7d731b3127ccebc63b841794200000005108Absmjli1bt8" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">The Happy Couple</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/92653160693276930-170882746073154430?l=cookininthesticks.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Lindsaynoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-92653160693276930.post-68386509065003926052007-09-01T08:42:00.000-04:002007-09-20T18:24:02.241-04:00<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/92653160693276930-6838650906500392605?l=cookininthesticks.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Lindsaynoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-92653160693276930.post-44155514856662035642007-08-27T12:30:00.000-04:002007-08-27T12:33:13.859-04:00Here it is. My much anticipated food blog - well, anticipated by me at least.<br /><br />I have a regular blog for my random thoughts, but I love cooking so much that I thought I'd jump on the bandwagon and create a foodie blog.<br /><br />I'll do my best to update this as often as I can and I'll include pictures when I remember. Hopefully, when have our own place it will be easier to post the yummy food that I create.<br /><br />Stay tuned with fork in hand!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/92653160693276930-4415551485666203564?l=cookininthesticks.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Lindsaynoreply@blogger.com2
