It was certainly not that long ago that hippies and tree huggers were the only ones to show concern concerning the well-being of the surroundings. Those days are over, and it looks like we all recognize our role in stopping and possibly reversing the damage being done to our planet. Unless everyone begins to start living more green we won’t be able to resolve the problems of the environment. This must happen soon and living in ways more friendly to the environment should become a goal for every individual family. The cooking area is a good place to begin saving energy by going much more green.
Begin with changing the lights. Complete this for the entire house, not merely the kitchen. Compact fluorescent lightbulbs are generally energy-savers, and you should use them in place of incandescent lights. These bulbs are usually energy-efficient which means electricity consumption is definitely lower, and, even though they cost a bit more to buy, will outlast an incandescent light ten times over. Utilizing these types of longer-lasting lightbulbs has the benefit that many fewer lightbulbs make it into landfills. You also have to obtain the practice of turning off the lights when there is nobody in a room. The family spends major time in the cooking area, and how often does the kitchen light go on in the morning and is left on all day long. And it’s not limited to the kitchen, it happens in other parts of the house also. Try keeping the lights off until you absolutely need them, and notice exactly how much electricity you can save.
As you can see, there are lots of little things that you can do to save energy, as well as save money, in the kitchen alone. Green living just isn’t that tough. Mostly, all it will take is a little bit of common sense.
We hope you got insight from reading it, now let’s go back to sugar•cookies recipe. To cook sugar•cookies you only need 7 ingredients and 9 steps. Here is how you achieve that.
The ingredients needed to make Sugar•Cookies:
- Take 2 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- Provide 1/2 tsp baking powder
- Prepare 1/4 tsp salt
- You need 3/4 cup margarine or room temperature butter
- Use 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- Use 1 large egg
- Prepare 2 tsp vanilla extract
Steps to make Sugar•Cookies:
- Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- In a large bowl using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar together on high speed until completely smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Add the egg, vanilla, and beat on high speed until combined, about 1 minute. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl and beat again as needed to combine.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix on low until combined. Dough will be relatively soft. If the dough seems too soft and sticky for rolling, add 1 Tablespoon more flour.
- Divide the dough into 2 equal parts. Place each portion onto a piece of lightly floured parchment paper or a lightly floured silicone baking mat. With a lightly floured rolling pin, roll the dough out to about 1/4-inch thickness. The rolled-out dough can be any shape, as long as it is evenly 1/4-inch thick.
- Lightly dust one of the rolled-out doughs with flour. Place a piece of parchment on top. (This prevents sticking.) Place the 2nd rolled-out dough on top. Cover with plastic wrap or aluminum foil, then refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours and up to 2 days.
- Once chilled, preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line 2-3 large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Carefully remove the top dough piece from the refrigerator. If it’s sticking to the bottom, run your hand under it to help remove it– see me do this in the video above. Using a cookie cutter, cut the dough into shapes. Re-roll the remaining dough and continue cutting until all is used. Repeat with 2nd piece of dough.
- Arrange cookies on baking sheets 3 inches apart. Bake for 11-12 minutes or until lightly browned around the edges. If your oven has hot spots, rotate the baking sheet halfway through bake time. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before decorating.
- Decorate the cookies with my sugar cookie icing recipe!
- Enjoy!!
