The proportions are: 1/2 c. white or brown sugar, 1/2 cup butter, 1 tsp vanilla, 2 eggs, 2 1/2 cups flour, 2 tsp baking bowder<BR/>1/2 tsp salt. If you want it sweeter, you could probably add a bit more sugar.<BR/>NancyNancy/n.o.ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12870024363382414106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3034743878261895543.post-63694834748823898272008-12-10T11:51:00.000-05:002008-12-10T11:51:00.000-05:00I love the little Ampelmann!

If there's one thing I regret, it's not buying enough kitchen gadgets there.. the quality is amazing! The chocolate is also so incrediably creamy and smooth. I can't believe how grainy our chocolates are. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for doing another CI comparison. I looked at CI's sugar cookie dough and it's loaded with butter!

This week's pick is perfect for getting ready for your big trip! I think you will have better luck cutting and transferring the shapes if you freeze the dough once you roll it out. I used the freezer step and it worked great. Also, thicker will help too. I look forward to your auto-posts while you are gone and seeing some photos from your trip once you are back. I bet you will be eating some fantastic food while you are there - take notes and give a full report!
