Giant Sugar Plum Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven 350.
• degrees F.
• Chop your sugared gumdrops into small pieces, I use scissors, or a sugared or floured paring knife. A little tedious job, but once its done, the recipe is a breeze.
• Mix butter and sugar and cream well with wooden spoon.
• (If using hand mixer do not over beat the butter and sugar, this will make the butter ooozz out while baking and end up with a buttery greasy cookie.).
• Stir in the flour and the chopped gumdrops.( A tip is to use 1/4 cup of the flour tossed into the chopped gumdrops, so that they stay seperate after cutting.).
• Shape dough into balls. This doesnt want to hold together well, so just squeeze each ball tightly to form.
• Place onto cookie sheet.
• Press a greased glass into the granulated sugar, and then press down on each cookie to 1/2 inch thick.
• Cut the small drops into pieces and press a few into each cookie.
• Bake 10 minutes, or until edges are light golden.
• Remove to wire rack.
• Cool completely.
• You will see that these are crumbly to make balls, You might even think that they won't hold up.
• But do not add any more butter.
• That is the reason that the last drops are pressed into place before baking.

Steps:

• To make the filling: Place plums, sugar and butter in saucepan; cook over low heat until juices flow.

• Preheat oven to 400F and spray baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Roll dough on floured board to 1/8" thickness; cut into 3 1/2" circles.
• Work with only a portion of dough at a time for ease of handling.
• Cut a 1" hole in middle of half of the circles.

• Top with holed circle and crimp edges decoratively with a fork.
• Arrange on a cookie sheet.
• Brush with egg and sprinkle with sugar.

• Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon in a medium bowl. In another bowl, beat together the sugar and remaining butter with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the vanilla and egg and beat to combine. Add the flour mixture in 2 batches, beating slowly after each addition to incorporate.
• Scoop the dough into the prepared skillet and press it in evenly with your fingers. Decorate with the sprinkles as desired. Bake until the edges of the cookie are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Cool on a rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

• With mixer on low, add half the flour mixture, followed by sour cream, then remaining flour mixture; mix just until smooth. (Dough will be stiff; you may need to finish mixing it by hand with a wooden spoon.)
• Drop mounds of dough, each equal to about 3 tablespoons, 3 to 4 inches apart, onto two ungreased baking sheets; sprinkle with sugar. Bake until edges of cookies are just firm and tops are barely beginning to brown, 20 to 25 minutes, rotating sheets once halfway through. Transfer cookies to a rack to cool.

• Whisk in the egg and vanilla, beating until light ribbons fall off the whisk.
