Description
A whimsical cookie that combines the flavors of cherry soda and sweet buttery dough, perfect for family gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup cherry soda
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour and baking powder, then gradually add to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Gently fold in the cherry soda until the batter incorporates and fizzes.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spaced apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Let cool before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
For an elevated flavor, try browning the butter before mixing it with the sugar. Add a sprinkle of coarse sea salt on top of cookies right after baking for a sweet-savory balance.
