How to Make Angel Crisp Cookies
- Cream together 1 cup granulated sugar, ½ cup packed brown sugar, 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened, and ½ cup vegetable shortening until light and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Shape the dough into 1-inch balls.
- Dip the top half of each ball into water, then immediately roll in granulated sugar.
- Place the cookies onto an ungreased baking sheet. Gently press down on the center of each cookie with your finger.
- Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
