Grandma bonnie’s dream cookies

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 275˚F (135˚C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, salt, and baker’s ammonia.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugar with an electric hand mixer on low speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

Step 4

Add the vanilla and continue beating until fully combined.

Step 5

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and beat to incorporate.

Step 6

Roll about 1 ounce of dough at a time in your hands to make walnut-sized balls. They will be small, about ½ inch (1 ¼ cm) wide. Place the balls of dough on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1 inch (2 ½ cm) of space between each cookie. Using a flat-bottomed measuring cup, gently press down on the cookies to flatten.

Step 7

Top each cookie with 3 chocolate chips, a single almond, or raisins.

Step 8

Bake the cookies for 30 minutes, or until the bottoms are light golden brown and the edges are crispy.

Step 9

Enjoy!
