On my quest to begin making a cookie for each state, this was one of the first recipes I created. Now, I'm not saying I will give away all of my secrets or recipes, but this one is quite simply and a favorite!
Connecticut Cookies
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream:
3/4 cup butter
3 ounces cream cheese
1 1/2 cups sugar
Add, beat until smooth:
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
1 egg yolk
On low speed, mix in (just until blended; DO NOT OVERMIX):
2 cups bread flour
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
Scoop out equal portions of the dough with a cookie scoop, roll in Demetra sugar, than place evenly spread (2” apart) on prepared cookie sheets).
Bake 10-14 minutes, or until the edges of the cookie are firm, and the middles set but still quite soft. Cool.
