Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour $0.28
  • 1 tsp baking powder $0.06
  • 1/4 tsp salt $0.02
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg $0.02
  • 1 cup granulated sugar $0.39
  • 4 Tbsp butter, room temperature $0.56
  • 2 large eggs $0.49
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla or almond extract $0.29
  • 1/4 lb. white chocolate (optional for decorating) $1.00

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat together the sugar, butter, eggs, and vanilla extract with a mixer until mostly smooth (a few small lumps of butter is okay).
  3. Add the dry ingredients to the bowl of wet ingredients and stir together until it forms a ball of dough.
  4. Divide the dough into two and shape each one into a flattened log about eight inches long and 2-3 inches wide. Place the logs on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Bake the logs for about 25 minutes, or until lightly golden on the edges and there are a few cracks in the top of the dough.
  6. Carefully transfer the logs to a cutting board and use a finely serrated bread knife to slice them, on a diagonal, into ½-inch wide pieces.
  7. Place the slices back onto the baking sheet, laying flat, and bake for another 5 minutes. Remove the baking sheet, flip them over, and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until golden brown.
  8. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool completely before decorating with melted chocolate (if desired). Enjoy with a hot cup of coffee!
