This dish is fun and easy to make, perfect for gatherings or simply enjoying with family. The name may suggest a blunder, but these little bites are far from it; they embody the essence of embracing imperfections in cooking! Here’s what you’ll need and how to whip up this charming recipe.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually blend the dry ingredients into the creamed mixture. Make sure everything is well combined but don’t overmix.
- Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart, as they will spread while baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look a bit soft, but they will firm up once cooled.
- Allow the cookies to cool on a wire rack. Once cooled, sprinkle powdered sugar on top for a sweet finish.
