Ulrike of Kuchenlaten has made a wonderful Christmassy choice for us this week - sugar cookies - Yum! I'm making this a real quick post - it's already the evening of Tuesday and I have just put the oven on and taken the butter and eggs out. Two festive days of going to Handel's Messiah and a Langlais Mass (followed by a nice glass of Merlot last night) have put me out of commission for leisurely baking and blogging. However, I'm determined to get this post in before my carriage turns into a pumpkin.
Done - The cookies are quite cute; a bit small (I used the roll and slice method as it's quick and easy) and they taste rather good. I decorated them with glace cherries and colored sugar. My second batch tastes very good - I baked them for 15 mins. at 350 degrees; the first batch for 11 minutes. The shorter time gave rather a bland cookie, slightly soft. I do have a preference for a nice crisp "biscuit;" nevertheless I think Dorie is sometimes out on her timing - usually under.
If you are looking for a pretty cookie to put out on the Christmas dessert table, you can get the recipe on Ulrike's blog. Next week we will have another cookie recipe suitable for Christmas fare - Buttery Jam Cookies.

I find Dorie's times to be off too, I wonder if she uses a gas stove or something.
I love the idea of cherries in the middle, very creative!
great job. love the cherries in the middle...very cute!
I'll bet those cherries added a great note of flavor to the cookies!

The cherries look wonderful and I think that the probably give the cookies more flavor. Your cookies look great.
The cherries add the perfect touch! They are beautiful. But the Messiah, a Langlais Mass, and a glass of merlot sound awfully nice, too!
Yay! Post done! Sometimes I'm just lucky to make the deadline. ;)
I baked mine three minutes longer than Dorie's time. Your cookies look great even though you were rushed.
Your cookies look great! I agree about having some troubles with Dorie's timing. I think I need an oven thermometer.
Very pretty and tempting!
Cheers and have a great weekend,

sensational job on the cookies. i love the cherry on top of the cookie. very festive.
I have always to adjust Dorie's baking times, mine were done after 13 minutes. You did a great job on the cookie
Thanks for joining TWD and baking with me
