amand_rThe Old Fashioned Sugar Cookie
The secret to the old fashioned sugar cookie, apparently, is using baking soda and powder. One provides the lift, the other just a bit of gas to burst the tops to that crackly texture. I think the sugar cookie, when chewy in the center and crunchy on the outside, is one of the best cookies in the universe.
But still, I had to mess with it.
First, the recipe I used, from Cook’s Illustrated, had additional alternate recipes, chai and coconut lime, which I made, and then Mum brought me habanero cane sugar, and I thought, "What do I do with this?" Voila. Then I thought, "Well, you could crush shit and put it in the sugar," so I did.
Today you can sample a variety of flavours (listed respectively above left to right): plain, hazelnut, coconut lime, chai, mint & absinthe, and chocolate habanero. See below for sampling offerings and ingredients.
The habanero ones have a little kick. I can eat them, and I am not a big spice tolerant person, but I do like spice. I used cabernet wine flour in them to aid the cocoa, and that is why they didn’t rise and flatten as well. They’re more cakey, but not much. Not like a red velvet or anything. Still very much a cookie.
Ingredients: ALL COOKIES CONTAIN—sugar, cream cheese, vegetable oil, butter, eggs, vanilla, salt, baking powder, milk, baking soda, flour. VARIED ADDITIONAL INGREDIENTS: hazelnuts, cocoa powder, habanero cane sugar, cabernet wine flour, mint & absinthe tea, ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, shredded coconut, lime juice, lime zest.

Available:
CHOCOLATE HABANERO--13
PLAIN-- 16
