Easy and “simply beautiful” Sour Cream Cookies R Easy and “simply beautiful” Sour Cream Cookies 

Recipe: 

1 stick unsalted butter, softened to room temperature 
1/4 cup sour cream, room temperature (Greek yogurt can be subbed in here too) 
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract + a dash of lemon extract which is optional but so good 
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350F. Use a large baking tray ( do not grease it or line it).

Make the dough. 

Add the butter, sour cream, and vanilla to a large bowl and cream together with a hand mixer. Switch to a spatula and add the powdered sugar, flour, and salt, and stir to combine. The dough should be wet.
Immediately transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Don’t let the dough sit too long or it will thicken. Pipe the dough out into about 2 1/4-inch circles onto the baking tray, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
Bake until the cookies are light golden on the bottom, about 10 to 15 minutes. Cool on the baking tray and then remove with a thin metal spatula. Cool completely on a baking rack and dust with powdered sugar.

Crunchy Maple Pecan Granola * 1/3 cup maple syrup Crunchy Maple Pecan Granola

* 1/3 cup maple syrup (or honey, but use maple if you are making it vegan)
* 1/3 cup packed dark brown sugar
* 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
* 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 
* 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger 
* ½ teaspoon sea salt
* ½ cup neutral oil ( I used melted coconut oil but you can substitute grape-seed, avocado or vegetable oil 
* 5 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (do NOT use quick oats) I used gluten free oats 
* 2 cups raw pecan halves, chopped coarsely - leave them bigger so you get a nice crunchy texture
* 2 cups mixed dried fruit, seeds and nuts, you can use a trail mix here. 

Preheat oven to 325°F. Line a rimmed baking pan with parchment paper. 

Whisk the maple syrup, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, ginger and salt in a large bowl. Whisk in the oil. Fold the oats, nuts and dried fruit mixture together. 

Transfer the oat mixture to the baking sheet and spread into an even layer. Using your hands or the bottom of a measuring compress the mixture until its’s compact.

Bake until lightly browned, 40 to 45 minutes, rotating pan once halfway through baking. Try not to move the granola around in the pan, this is will ensure big chunks of deliciousness. Remove pan from oven and cool on a wire rack to room temperature, about an hour or two. Break apart the cooled granola into pieces of desired size. Granola can be stored in an airtight container up to 4 weeks. Yields 8-9 cups. Enjoy!

Can’t have a birthday without a little Funfetti. W Can’t have a birthday without a little Funfetti. Wishing my youngest son a very special day and year ahead. Love you !🩵🩵🩵

Easy #Funfetti #Sugar #Cookies 

3/4 cup (170 g) unsalted butter, softened 
3/4 cup (150 g) granulated white sugar 
1/2 cup (100 g) brown sugar, packed
1 extra large egg, room temperature
1 tsp pure vanilla extract 
2 1/4 cups (280 g) all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cream of tartar
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/3 cup rainbow sprinkles 

Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugars on medium high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Stop the mixer to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
Add the egg and vanilla. Mix on low speed until fully incorporated.
Scrape down the sides of the bowl again to make sure everything is well mixed. 
In a separate bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix on low speed just until combined. Do not over mix 
Remove the bowl from the stand mixer and stir in the rainbow sprinkles by hand with  wooden spoon or fork mindful of not to over mixing the dough.
Using a medium sized cookie scoop (1.5 or 2 tablespoons) scoop out the dough and place onto one of the prepared baking sheets. Refrigerate uncovered for one hour. You must chill this dough. 
Once dough is well chilled, preheat oven to 350F 
Place cookie dough onto lined cookie sheet, spacing 2 to 3 inches apart. I did 6 per sheet. Bake for 5 minutes then rotate the pan and bake for another 6 minutes. The cookies are done when the edges just begin to turn golden brown m.  The centres will look slightly under baked. The my cookies will continue to bake as they cool.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
