You see those? Those were last night’s dessert – sugar cookies. \u00a0I say “were” because there wasn’t a crumb left when I went downstairs for my “can’t sleep” snack.<\/p>\n

I knew something was up when I couldn’t stop eating the dough. Raw eggs? What raw eggs? This was just good. Food safety? What food safety?<\/p>\n

I used a very basic sugar cookie recipe. \u00a0You can find one on AllRecipes.com or use one that you already have. \u00a0Mine had 2 1\/4 cups of flour, 2 sticks of softened butter, 1 1\/2 cups of sugar (or so), 1 egg, 1 1\/2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of baking soda.<\/p>\n

After that, it got interesting. \u00a0I can’t tell you how much of each that I added (because I can’t remember), but it was amounts similar to when you add vanilla extract to something.<\/p>\n

You want some amazing sugar cookies with some Caribbean flare? In addition to vanilla extract, try adding these…<\/p>\n

Ground Ginger (just a little, not enough to make it a ginger snap)<\/span><\/p>\n

Imitation Rum Extract<\/p>\n

Guyanese Essence and\/or Almond Essence<\/p>\n

Coconut Flake<\/p>\n

You can find essence at your local international market or Caribbean store. \u00a0They were SO good. \u00a0I made dough for about 3 dozen, but only made 12 last night. \u00a0The rest went into the fridge. Next time I want my “can’t sleep” snack, I’m not taking any chances. \u00a0I’ll grab some dough, and in 10 minutes – yum.<\/p>\n
