Top Secret Recipes


Cookie dough:


1 cup butter, melted (2 sticks)

1 cup granulated sugar

2/3 cup dark brown sugar

2 eggs

2 tsp vanilla extract

3 cups flour

2 tsp baking soda

½ tsp cream of tartar

½ tsp salt


Topping:


4 Tlb sugar

2 tsp ground cinnamon


Directions:


1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.


2. Use an electric mixer on med speed to combine butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla in a medium bowl until smooth.


3. In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt.


4. Mix the dry ingredients into the wet stuff using the electric mixer on med/low speed until dough is smooth.


5. Mix topping ingredients together in a small bowl.


6. Measure one heaping tablespoon of the dough and roll it into a ball with your hands.


7. Press half of the cookie dough ball into the cinnamon/sugar. Place the ball, sugared-side-up, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 16 minutes or until cookies just begin to turn light brown. Be careful not to bake the cookies too long or they won’t be soft like the originals
