Pressed in a galette iron and cooked on the stove, these delicious brown sugar cookies are a Christmas tradition in southeast Kansas.
INGREDIENTS (for 1 servings):
- 2 pounds dark brown sugar
- 1 pound butter
- 7 eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 6 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
PREPARATION:
In a large bowl, stir together the brown sugar and butter until smooth and creamy; then add eggs and vanilla, and beat well. Gradually stir in flour. Set bowl over a hot water bath, and stir to blend ingredients. Cover, and refrigerate overnight.
Preheat the galette iron.
Shape dough into 1 inch balls, and place in the galette iron. Close the iron, and cook the cookies. This should take about 30 seconds in an electric galette iron, or 2 to 4 minutes in a handheld iron over a medium flame. Carefully remove cookies and cool on wire racks.
