she was feeling better and we were so thankful for it! She slept through the whole night without crying. [sigh of relief]
I found the Toy-A-Day blog and set to making her some fun stuff.....
Later in the evening, we made some very non traditional sugar cookies.....
It all evolved very fluidly... we read a gingerbread story... then ira wanted to make gingerbread cookies, but she didnt want them spicy.... so we picked sugar cookies.... but we didnt have enough sugar.... so I improvised.the recipe:
3 Cups Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
less than 1 Cup turbinado sugar granules
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp finely ground sea salt
1 cup butter softened
2 eggs beaten
4 tbl half and half
2 tsp vanilla
sift dry ingredients together set bowl aside, put remaining wet ingredients into mixing bowl, blend on low until well combined. Mix in dry ingredients slowly, cup by cup. mold into ball with hands and put in fridge for at least an hour.
Roll out small grapefruit sized ball of dough to 1/4 inch thickness ( i do this between two sheets of parchment)
Bake at 400 degrees for 3-4 minutes.
they are super chewy and taste like a really sweet pancake... guests would not recognize them as sugar cookies. lol
but my husband and kids and I? well, we thought they were pretty fabulous....
