5 Tricks to Baking Perfect Sugar Cookies

This just confirms my suspicion that there's no way I can make a perfect sugar cookie in my current kitchen. I can't get far enough away from my oven!

Cooking with Amaranth

One of the favorite ways in Mexico to prepare amaranth is to POP it and then add a sugary syrup. it even has a special name, which i forget.

Cooking with Amaranth

I mix with quinoa (2 parts quinoa to 1 part amaranth) and use as a couscous, or as a replacement for rice. The nutty flavor is great mixed with a stir-fry with cashews or peanuts. I suggest one with baby peas, tiny chopped carrots and broccoli, shallots and ginger, soy sauce, sriracha and honey to taste. Top with some beans sprouts and cashews for a super easy and healthy weeknight dinner.

i used some of this stuff too, it is funky. didn't use 'em in salads but more savory as another grain substitute, almost like porridge.

5 Tricks to Baking Perfect Sugar Cookies

My mom gave me a great tip for storing sugar cookies: if they start to dry out, just stick a piece of bread in the container. The moisture from the bread will make the cookies nice and soft again.

I use an old Betty Crocker sugar cookie recipe for these holiday cookies and it's to die for!! Always a crowd pleaser! I make mine a bit thicker though... i like a cookie with some oomph to it!

I will only say that I disagree with your #3 - a pinch of nutmeg (instead of grated zest) adds nicely to a sugar cooky.

Thanks for more excellent advice and observations. I've never adding oil, and I'll give it a try.
