Brown Sugar Cookies

 Hello. I recently gotten inspired by a baking mixer I saw in a photo. I really wanted to use it. I like the beater blade, it works very well. I love to use the KitchenAid Ultra Power mixer. They have three various attachments, the whisk, hook, and beater blade. In the recipe the beater blade will be used.

6 oz vegetable shortening

1 cups brown sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 cup applesauce
2 1/2 cups of flour

 Add the vegetable shortening and sugar to the mixing bowl and beat with the beater blade until
fluffy. I like to go fast here.

 Stop the machine, and scoop down the sides. Add the baking powder and incorporate. Add the applesauce. It is good to stop the machine and lift up the top, and scoop the sides down when necessary. With the mixer on slow, add the flour in small amounts, until blended, not to over mix.



When mixed into a dough form, stop the machine and remove the dough ball.

 Place the dough on waxed paper and roll out about 2 1/2 inch diameter and 16 inches in length size piece. Roll in the wax paper and set in the fridge for about 30 minutes. Preheat oven for 350 degrees ferinheight.
 Take out the dough and cut into 1 inch thick rounds and place on wax paper on a cooking sheet. Place in oven to bake for 12-15 minutes (longer if necessary).



 When a fork inserted in the cookie comes out dry, and the cookies are browned, remove the cookies from the oven and let cool for five minutes on the baking sheet. Then remove them from the baking sheet and set them on a cooling rack to cool for a few more minutes.



 They are ready to be plated and ate! :)

Thank you very much,
