Chef's Notes

Superfine sugar, AKA caster sugar is NOT powdered sugar. It is sugar with finer granules than regular granulated sugar and can usually be found in your grocery store's baking aisle in a box or can be ordered from Amazon. If you don't have superfine sugar, you can easily make your own by running regular granulated sugar through your blender or food processor for about 30 seconds.
Small-batch Instructions: To cut this recipe in half, just use one whole egg. The cookies won’t be quite as tender, but this way you don’t have to cut an egg in half.Make-ahead Instructions: Dough can be made and kept in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours before rolling and baking.Freezer Instructions: These cookies freeze well in an air-tight container and will keep for up to 2 months.

Thank you for this, I am also from Bakersfield but I now live in Vegas so I miss this bakery everyday lol. It will be my first time making sugar cookies and I wanted something to remind me of home. Can’t wait to try this recipe!

I grew up in Bakersfield, too. I get it. I haven’t lived there for 40+ years but I still crave their Valentine (and smiley face, and, and) cookies. Any time there is a Bako gathering Smiths is the request! Thank you from me and from my grandchildren who will be getting these tomorrow!
(I have a beautiful photo, but can’t seem to post it on this thread).

Did you make this recipe?

Thanks for rating!
