After a year of being out of school, it was so good to start it all up again. And even though I was only taking one class, I loved being back in that atmosphere and devouring new information.
I know, I'm one of those few weirdos that actually loves going to school.
But the semester is over and for the next month I am going to enjoy making holiday themed recipes in the kitchen and sharing them with my loved ones. Which includes you, my dear readers (who I am still pretty convinced just consists of my grandma, my mom, and friend Krystal).
So I am back from a lengthy sabbatical from my blog. I have however, been keeping up with my young and budding YouTube channel. So if you have not seen my recipe videos, please, jump on over here, and take a gander.
But enough with the jibber jabber. You are here for a very delicious and wonderful holiday delight:
Peppermint Sugar Cookies
2 1/4 cup of all purpose flour
1 tsp of baking soda
1 tsp of salt
3/4 -1 cup of Earth Balance buttery spread
1 tsp of vanilla extract
3/4 cup of granulated sugar
1/2 cup of raw sugar
Egg Replacer for 2 eggs
2 Candy Canes
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 375 F.
2. Beat together the Earth Balance and sugar and vanilla. When that is completely mixed add the egg replacer.
3. In a separate bowl, mix together the dry ingredients.
4. Slowly mix in the dry ingredients into the wet ones.
5. Takes the two candy canes out of their wrappers and place them in a ziploc bag. Seal the bag and then beat the candy canes with a pan, or whatever else you around that is heavy.
6. Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop or your hands, form little round cookies on a baking sheet and press them down slightly. Sprinkle your candy canes over the top of the cookies (make sure to have some big chunks to put on them as well).
7. Bake cookies for 12-15 minutes. And then try not to burn yourself when you want to scarf them down immediately!
These peppermint cookies pair really well with my Ginger Peppermint Steamer: watch the video!
