How to make Southern Tea Cake Cookies:
Let’s break this down like a dance at a Southern barn party:
- Step 1: In a medium bowl, start by whisking together your flour, salt, baking soda, and nutmeg. This is your dry squad – make sure they mingle well.
- Step 2: Time for some elbow grease! In a larger bowl, cream that butter and sugar together until they’re smoother than a Southern gentleman’s compliment. This could take around 4-5 minutes with an electric mixer on high.
- Step 3: Turn down the mixer tempo and serenade in the egg and vanilla. Now, gracefully introduce your dry squad to this creamy concoction, bit by bit, like you’re merging two families at a summer potluck.
- Step 4: Give your dough some chill time in the fridge for about 30 minutes. Think of it as a short beauty nap.
- Step 5: Preheat that oven to 325˚. Meanwhile, using whatever tool you fancy (I personally love a melon baller, but who am I to judge?), scoop out 12 portions of dough and roll them into balls. Line them up on your baking sheet.
- Step 6: Now, gently flatten each cookie, just a smidge, with the bottom of a trusty cup or mug. Show ‘em some Southern hospitality!
- Step 7: Into the oven they go! Bake for about 10 minutes. Keep a hawk-eye till the cookie edges hint at a golden tan.
