TIPS TO PREVENT TEACAKE COOKIE MAYHEM

                                                   Tea Cake Cookies

Tea cakes are thick cookies like a cake; but are really known  through out time as a COOKIE!

When I was growing up; my grandmother had these ole big thick cookies just lying around in the cabinet and the softness or freshness  was amazing!   

I cheat; because I favor the recipes; that call for buttermilk; not sweet milk or cream of tartar. 

My Personal Tips to the most sought after batch of tea cake cookies by the masses.

WHEN I RETIRED; THE REQUEST FOR TEA CAKE COOKIES NEVER ENDS.    

ON MY TOMBSTONE. "HERE LIES THE TEA CAKE 🍪 LADY!"

My best recipe calls for baking powder and baking soda together.  BUTTERMILK IS THE GAME CHANGER!

My Personal Tips 
See below:

BUTTERMILK MUST BE BY BORDEN~OLD WORLD BULGARIAN. 

REAL BUTTER~ A REQUIREMENT~ ROOM TEMPERATURE. 

DOMINO SUGAR~ONLY. TEXTURE GETS THE SWEETNESS CORRECT.

EGGS~EGGLAND BEST.  TOP QUALITY!

FLOUR-GOLD MEDAL (ALL PURPOSE)~NEVER SELF RISING. TOO SALTY.

CHILL THAT DOUGH~ A MUST DO.

I never roll out my dough.  I,
manually, make small balls and press into round circle.  CLEAN HANDS!

COOKIE SHEET~ ALWAYS THROW AWAY KINDS~   THEY ARE LITE AND MAKE BAKING FOOL PROOF. SAVES MONEY.

USE SPICE IN MIX OR GLAZE THE COOKIES;  SPRINKLES OF SUGAR AND SPICE.   Stretch your brain cells.  Be Bold and go for the Forbidden in presentation.  

Nutmeg or replace with allspice or cinnamon.  Use different flavors with the glazes.  Careful not to make things bitter.      

VANILLA FLAVOR~ McCORMICK~one and only.  No fakes.

MOST IMPORTANTLY,  SOME PEOPLE WANT A TEA CAKE; BUT YOU HAVE TO JAZZ  IT  UP A NOTCH!    

Example for the strawberry lover; scant favor in glaze.   Get your tea cake cookie; but made the strawberry lover happy.   

Please you; but let your baking work speak for itself!
