Sumac Sugar Cookies
- 2 sticks butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon ground sumac
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Powdered sugar, for sprinkling
- 1 beaten egg
- 1 tablespoon whole milk
- Mix up the butter and sugar until really combined.
- Mix the flour, sumac, baking powder and salt, and then add to the creamed butter slowly, mixing together until a dough is formed.
- Divide the dough into thirds, wrap in wax paper and place in the freezer to speed chill for 45 minutes.
- Transfer the dough to the fridge to keep cool while rolling out.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- On a clean work service, sprinkle some powdered sugar.
- Also sprinkle some powdered sugar on a rolling pin or wine bottle.
- Roll out the dough to desired thickness.
- Work quickly to keep the dough COLD.
- Keep in mind that the thinner you roll them, the shorter the cooking time.
- Do you want wafers or cookies?
- Your choice.
- Bake these guys, in batches if necessary, on a silicone baking mat on a cookie sheet until they are just golden brown on the edges, 8 to 10 minutes.
- It might be wise to rotate the sheet halfway through baking, depending on your oven.
- Remove from the oven, let them cool and give them to the kids to decorate.
- Celebrate sumac.
