Black Pepper Butter Cookies
These are my very favorite cookies. I get asked for this recipe all the time. Nobody can quite figure out what makes them so good and they don't believe me when I tell them it's the black pepper.
Ingredients
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup sweet unsalted butter , softened
1 large egg
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper
extra sugar , for dipping
glass
Directions
Mix all ingredients (except for the extra sugar for dipping the glass) together well using a heavy duty mixer.
Roll into 1/2 inch size balls-you will need three large ungreased cookie sheets, 16 balls per sheet.
Use the flat base of a drinking glass that has been dipped into sugar to flatten each dough ball on the cookie sheets.
Bake in a preheated 350 F (or 180 C) oven for 8-11 minutes or until lighly browned on the edges- do not overbake.
Remove to wire racks to cool.
