Two year olds have some strange requests, think back to the Popcorn Cookies, well today Big N wanted to bake cookies, and when asked what flavour she wanted, the response was Pepper. What the heck are pepper cookies I thought, but I went over to Google and found out, there was such a thing as pepper cookies. We came across this recipe and made a few variations, based on availability, but this is what we came up with.
Ingredients:
1 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 3/4 cups flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup milk
Directions:
Cream the butter, sugar, and vanilla until light and creamy.
Combine the flour, baking powder, and spices. Add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture alternately with the milk. It may be a bit stiff.
Shape into small balls, or drop from a teaspoon, onto ungreased cookie sheets.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 12-15 minutes. Cool on rack.
These turned out somewhat similar to a crinkle cookie, and were quite tasty. You could taste a hint of pepper if you knew that's what was in them, otherwise, you really couldn't tell at all, except for that one cookie that had a whole peppercorn in it, now that wasn't so tasty.
