Old Fashioned Sugar Cookies

[Claire Allen]

Nothing beats a plain sugar cookie! No frills, no nuts, just... well, sugar cookie. 

"If it ain't homemade, is it even real?!"

without further ado, 

Old Fashioned Sugar Cookes (makes a few dozen cookies, depending on the size/thickness):

Ingredients:

3 1/2 cups all purpose flour

1 1/2 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoon baking powder

1 cup butter (softened) 

1 1/2 cups granulated sugar

3 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract 

Directions:

Combine flour, salt, and baking powder in bowl and set aside. Combine butter and sugar and beat until creamy. Add agges one at a time and beat well; add vanilla and combine. Stir in dry ingredients until combined. Refrigerate dough for at least one hour. Preheat oven to 350F. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to desired thickness. Cut with a cookie cutter. Bake for 10-15 minutes on lightly greased baking sheets.

 

Your Sister in Christ,

Will the recipe work if I leave out the all-purpose flour & sugar? I'm diabetic, so carbohydrates are OUT.

And the nuts you leave out can be used in the form of flour - I use a mix of ground almonds & coconut flour.

I once had a recipe for a bible cake.  No ingredients given, just bible references for you to look up.

I wish I could find it again.

Scripture-cake

This cake is my version, arranging ingredients and amounts to give us this incredible apple, fig, and walnut cake. The cake is loaded with flavor, quite dense and wonderfully delicious. I’ll go easy on you and give you both the scripture and the ingredient. Scripture comes from the King James version.

Grease 12-cup nonstick Bundt pan with 1 tablespoon Judges 5:25. Sprinkle with raw Jeremiah 6:20, turning pan to coat. Sprinkle 1/3 cup chopped Genesis 43:11 evenly into the bottom of the pan and set aside.

In a large mixer bowl, beat 1 cup Judges 5:25 (Butter)

He asked water, and she gave him milk; she brought forth butter in a lordly dish.

along with 1½ cups Jeremiah 6:20 beating until light and fluffy– (Sugar)

To what purpose cometh there to me incense from Sheba, and the sweet cane from a far country? Your burnt offerings are not acceptable, nor your sacrifices sweet unto me.

Beat in 4 Jeremiah 17:11, one at a time. (Eggs)

As the partridge sitteth on eggs, and hatcheth them not; so he that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a fool.

Combine 2 cups Exodus 29:2 –(flour)

And unleavened bread, and cakes unleavened tempered with oil, and wafers unleavened anointed with oil; of wheaten flour shalt thou make them.

mix with the following ingredients: 2 teaspoons Amos 4:5 – (baking powder)

And offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving with leaven, and proclaim and publish the free offerings; for this liketh you, O ye children of Israel, saith the Lord God.

2 Chronicles 9:9 to taste (cloves, allspice, nutmeg)

And she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of spices great abundance, and precious stones: neither was there any such spice as the queen of Sheba gave King Solomon.

2 teaspoons Exodus 30:23 (Cinnamon)
Take thou also, unto thee the chief spices; of flowering myrrh five hundred shekels, and of sweet cinnamon, half as much.

and A pinch of Mark 9:50 – (salt)

Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace with another.

Add to the Judges 5:25 mixture; beat at low speed until well combined.

Stir in: 1 tablespoon 1 Samuel 14:25 – (honey)

And all they of the land came to a wood; and there was honey upon the ground.

along with 1/2 cups 1 Samuel 30:12 – (raisins)

And they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins; and when he had eaten, his spirit came again to him; for he had eaten no bread, nor drunk any water, three days and three nights.

and 2 cups chopped dried Song of Solomon 2:13 (figs)

The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grape give a good smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.

Mix in 1 cups slivered or chopped Numbers 17:8 – (almonds) and remaining 2/3 cup chopped Genesis 43:11 (walnuts).

And it came to pass, that on the morrow Moses went into the tabernacle of witness; and behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, and brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and yield almonds.

Add in 4 cups cored, peeled, and coarsely chopped Psalms 17:8. (apple)

Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,

Follow Solomon’s advice for making good boys – Proverbs 23:14
Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.

Spoon batter into prepared pan. Bake in 350 degree oven until wooden pick inserted near center comes out clean, about 50 to 60 minutes. Cool in pan 15 minutes; invert onto wire rack and cool completely. Best if prepared 1 day before serving. Store cake at room temperature. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream!

Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in Him. Psalm 34:8

The historical cake can still be made today. To play the game as our grandmothers might have played it, read the Biblical list of ingredients and write down your knowledge (or best guess) of the scriptural ingredients. Then, to be on the safe side, look in a King James version of the Bible to verify your answers! Have fun with your sons and daughters or grandsons and granddaughters in playing this game!

~Blessings, Catherine
