Day 7

Happy First Day of Summer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I am so happy that today actually sort of felt a little bit like summer! I mean, it didn't even rain once today!
Today I made some yummy snickerdoodle cookies! Already almost all of them are gone.

Snickerdoodles
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 sticks unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups plus two tablespoons sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Sift flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside. Put butter and 1 1/2 cups sugar into electric mixer and mix on medium speed until smooth. Mix in eggs. Reduce speed to low and slowly add the flour mixture.
  2. Stir together the cinnamon and remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar in a small bowl. Shape the dough into small balls and roll in the cinnamon sugar. space 3 inches apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. Bake cookies for 12-15 min. until edges are a golden brown. Cool on a cooling rack. Cookies can be stored up to three days in an airtight container.


Also today since there was actually a little bit of sunshine, I went outside and drew a picture of a flower on the sidewalk with chalk.
