INGREDIENTS:
1/2 lb unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tablespoon brandy, optional
dash of salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 egg yolk, optional
chopped nuts, and raisins, optional
1 egg white, optional
coarse sugar, coloured with blue food colouring, optional
PREPARATION: Adult with Child : /I>Roll out the dough to 1/8 inch thick. Preheat oven to 350°F. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Child: You can either use cookie cutters or use the point of a toothpick like a knife to cut out cookies in any shapes you want. Let your imagination run free: how about Stars of David, candles with flames attached? Once you have cut out the cookies, gently place them on the baking sheet. Then either brush them with egg yolk and sprinkle with nuts and raisins, or brush with egg white and sprinkle with blue sugar.
Adult: Bake for about 10 minutes, or until golden brown. Use a metal spatula to gently remove each cookie from the baking sheet to a cooling rack or flat plate. Makes about 48 cookies.
Almond crisps
Ideal served with hot coffee, these tasty little crisps complement a Holiday buffet as well as serve as all time favourite treats! INGREDIENTS: 5 large egg whites PREPARATION: 1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Beat the egg whites with the sugar and salt for 2 or 3 minutes until the sugar is dissolved and the egg whites are thick and white. PREP/COOK Prep time: 15 minutes
1 1/2 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter, melted and cooled
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup blanched almonds, finely ground or chopped
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon peel
2. Blend in the melted butter and then gently fold in the flour, almonds, lemon juice and peel.
3. Using two teaspoons, drop blobs of dough, well apart, onto a lightly greased non-stick cookie sheet. Bake them for 10 to 12 minutes. With a spatula, lift them off the cookie sheet to a cooling rack soon after they come out of the oven. They are somewhat reluctant to part company with the sheet once they have thoroughly cooled.
