This is an Adopted Recipe. As the reviews have stated, they really do not taste like cotton candy...more like an old fashion tea cookie. I don't really know why they are called cotton candy, but I can visualize these cooked in different colors of pastel and served on a platter, and they would indeed LOOK like cotton candy. These cookies are delicious! Ingredients:
1/2 cup granulated sugar |
3/4 cup powdered sugar |
1/2 cup butter |
1/2 cup cooking oil |
2 eggs |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon cream of tartar |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
4 1/4 cups all-purpose flour |
Directions:
1. Cream together the granulated sugar, powdered sugar, butter, and cooking oil.
2. Beat in eggs and vanilla.
3. Add dry ingredients, (the next four ingredients) and mix to incorporate.
4. Roll dough into small balls about the size of a quarter.
5. With a heavy bottomed crystal vase with a decorative bottom, or other cookie press, dip in sugar to coat well.
6. Smash each ball of dough so they are spread out and flat.
7. Leaving an imprint and sugar.
8. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 10 minutes, until the edges just start to turn slightly brown.
9. Do not bake too long.
10. Cool on the baking sheet briefly then transfer to wire rack to cool the rest of the way.
