Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup margarine
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup cream sherry

Instructions:

  1. Sift dry ingredients together: In a bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and nutmeg. Set aside for later use.

  2. Cream margarine and sugar: In a separate mixing bowl, cream together the margarine and sugar until light and fluffy. This will take about 2-3 minutes of mixing.

  3. Add eggs: Once the margarine and sugar are well combined, add the egg to the mixture. Mix until fully incorporated.

  4. Alternate dry ingredients with Sherry: Gradually add the dry ingredients from step 1 to the creamed mixture, alternating with the cream sherry. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until the batter is smooth and well combined.

  5. Chill the dough: Wrap the dough in foil or plastic wrap and chill it in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight. Chilling the dough will help it firm up and make it easier to roll out.

  6. Roll out the dough: After chilling, roll out the dough on a floured surface until it’s thin, about 1/8 inch thick. Use a rolling pin to achieve an even thickness.

  7. Cut into shapes: Using cookie cutters of your choice, cut out shapes from the rolled-out dough. You can make traditional round cookies or get creative with festive shapes like stars, hearts, or holiday-themed designs.

  8. Bake the cookies: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the cut-out cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving a bit of space between each cookie. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.

  9. Cool and enjoy: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve and enjoy these delicious Sherry Thins with a cup of tea or coffee, or package them up as delightful homemade gifts.

These Sherry Thins are sure to become a favorite in your cookie jar, with their delicate texture and subtle hint of sherry flavor. Whether you’re baking them for a special occasion or simply to satisfy your sweet tooth, they’re bound to be a hit with everyone who tries them!
