Sugar Cookies made with powdered egg |
Regular readers to An American Housewife know we just returned from a family vacation. Since a tropical storm was arriving the day before we were, I wanted to be 'ready' to spend a day or two holed up in a hotel room with 4 teenagers if need be, so I packed 10 movies, an extra power source in case we had issues with power outages (Goal Zero Escape Scout 150
Sugar Cookies from a Powdered Mix and Powdered Eggs
Sugar Cookie Mix
Whole Egg Powder
1 stick butter (I use just a little less - about a tablespoon less than a whole stick)
Pour the cookie mix in a bowl. Add the egg powder to equal 1 egg according to your package directions. Mine calls for 2 tablespoons powder to 1/4 cup water. Add a stick of butter (or just shy of a stick) - already soft, but not melted. I like to add a bit of vanilla at this point, but you don't have to. Mix with a wooden spoon until a dough forms. Drop by tablespoons onto an ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 350 until golden brown on the edges. You can bake and eat as they are, or before baking, sprinkle with sugar or colored sprinkles, or bake and cool, followed by icing them with a simple frosting. Very good!
