This is a conglomerate of several recipes and suggestions from reviews that I have read in searching for the much-loved Lofthouse cookie recipe. It worked nicely for us, and though it is not EXACTLY the same, they are pretty darn good cookies. the hips. Ingredients:
1 cup butter flavor shortening |
1 cup sugar |
1 egg, lightly beaten |
1 cup heavy whipping cream |
1 teaspoon real vanilla |
4 cups flour |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream the shortening and the sugar.
2. Take the mixer out and, with a wooden spoon, add the egg, whipping cream, and vanilla until thoroughly combined (it will look a bit stiff ), but do not whip the cream too much.
3. In another bowl, mix the remaining ingredients.
4. Add half the dry mixture at a time to the wet mixture. Only mix until it is thoroughly mixed together. Dough will seem sticky.
5. Roll dough into 1 to 1-1/4 balls and place on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper.
6. Flatten to 1/3 thick with the flat bottom of a drinking glass. They do not spread much when baking.
7. Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes.
8. Take the cookies out of the oven and move immediately to a wire rack to cool. Frost and decorate as desired.
