Ingredients

  • 2 3/4 cups all purpose flour 358 grams
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda 6 grams
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 2 grams
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt 4 grams
  • 1 cup European style salted butter 8 ounces, room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups white granulated sugar 300 grams
  • 1 large egg
  • 3/4 teaspoon LorAnn Princess Cake & Cookie Bakery Emulsion
  • 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice 7 grams
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 3/4 teaspoon white vinegar
  • Extra sugar for sprinkling on top

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a small bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in the egg, Princess emulsion and juice. Gradually blend in dry ingredients.
  3. Scoop the dough into about 18 1-1/2" inch balls (about 53 grams each) and place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Slightly flatten the top of each cookie with the bottom of a glass that has been dipped in sugar.
  4. Refrigerate the cookies for at least 1 hour.
  5. In a small bowl, combine the heavy cream and vinegar. This mixture will get very thick and curdle. Use a pastry brush to brush this mixture on top of the cookies.
  6. Sprinkle the top of the cookies with extra granulated sugar or sprinkles.
  7. Bake at 375 degrees for 10 minutes, removing the cookies just before the edges get brown.
  8. Allow the cookies to cool for 5 minutes, then move them to a flat surface to cool.
  9. Store in an airtight container.
