Taste Temptation

Almost that time of year again, where I spend a lot of time in the kitchen cooking for family and friends. The tree is up, the menu is chosen, most of the presents are bought.
Do you ever feel too organised, to the point you think you are forgetting something? 🤔

Sugar Cookies
1 cup softened butter
1 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 egg
3 cups gluten free plain flour (I used woolworths brand)
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder

Preheat oven to 170C. Line a tray with non-stick baking paper.
Cream together the butter and sugar in a mixer until light and creamy.
Add vanilla and egg and mix through.
In another bowl combine the all the dry ingredients.
Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients a little at a time and continue to mix until it is all combined.
Remove from mixer and gently knead.
Separate dough into two balls and wrap one in cling wrap. Don;t chill the dough.
Place the dough on a lightly floured surface, sprinkle a small amount of flour on the top. Using a rolling pin, roll until it is about 1cm thick.
Using a cookie cutter, cut out shapes. Use a metal spatula to transfer shapes to tray.
Bake for 10 minutes.
Repeat with remain dough.

What was I thinking? Starting next week I will be back studying again, which itself is exciting. But, and its a big but, when I was organising my schedule I forgot the class times were Sydney time and not Perth. So comes Tuesday morning of the 17th I'll be dragging myself out of bed for a 6am class, which of course becomes 5am for me when daylight savings starts. I'm tired just thinking about it.

And this years biscuits and cookies we always share with our guests
