火車蛋糕和火雞cookie

我們家小朋友三歲了，昨天和他一起做了個火車蛋糕。他是Thomas的大扇子，可惜我沒本事做Thomas, 做了個比較簡單的。雖然我平時還挺喜歡烤個cookie啥的，不過蛋糕裝飾一點都不懂，買來的icing特別硬特別粘，很難抹開，估計是買錯東西了，搞得比較惡心。




底用的是buttermilk pound cake, 超簡單，要做兩個
Ingredients
3 cups all-purpose flour 1/4 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup butter 3 cups white sugar 6 eggs 1 teaspoon lemon extract 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup buttermilk


Directions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease one 9 or 10 inch tube pan. Mix together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. In a large bowl, beat butter with sugar. Mix in the eggs, one at time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the lemon and the vanilla extracts. Gently mix in flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
Bake in preheated oven for 90 minutes. Do not open oven door until after one hour. When cake begins to pull away from the side of the pan it is done. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely.



前兩天和小朋友一起作的火雞cookie
Plain Sugar cookie做底。加熱一塊巧克力，微波爐40-60秒，讓小朋友把cookie放進巧克力盆裏dip一下，拿出來。放上candy corn和m&m, 放到冰箱裏1個小時就好了


同樣的plain sugar cookie, 用手形cookie cutter切好, Michael's裏有$0.79一個。巧克力裏dip一下，要是大小朋友就可以用塑料刀了, 效果會更好點。撒上sprinkle, 最後用icing尾巴上畫兩條，加上眼睛。放到冰箱裏一個小時


my favorite plain sugar cookie recipe

2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). In a small bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in egg and vanilla. Gradually blend in the dry ingredients. Roll rounded teaspoonfuls of dough into balls, and place onto ungreased cookie sheets.
Bake 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden. Let stand on cookie sheet two minutes before removing to cool on wire racks.
