World Famous Paradise Bakery Sugar Cookies,“This recipe was published in the Arizona Republic on July 31, 2001”,Where did you get the cute little pumpkins to put in top of the paradise cookies???,I don’t know what happened. My cookie came out somewhat hard, and seriously bland. The Paradise Bakery sugar cookie is my absolute favorite sugar cookie. I’ve loved them since I was a little girl. But these are completely different. The Paradise Bakery sugar cookies are not bland. I followed this recipe to a T, although I did make homemade cake flour. Maybe that was the problem. I don’t know. When I was done, most of the dough was Sandy and powdery, and I had to roll together with my hands to make cookie balls, then I rolled them and sugar and pressed down. I did use a hand mixer, maybe that made a difference. I don’t know. If someone could give me some advice that would be nice. ?? UPDATE: What I was doing wrong was using homemade cake flour. When I used store bought enriched cake flour, they turned out perfect. They are just like the cookies at Paradise Bakery. I used Swans Down enriched cake flour.
