Melting Moments Cookies


From the kitchen of Ange (Perry) Melchonian


1 1/2 cubes margarine (softened)


1/2 cup corn starch


1/2 cup powdered sugar (plus small amount for top of cookies)


1 cup flour


1 teaspoon vanilla or Amaretto (almond-flavored liqueur)


Sift together dry ingredients; add margarine and vanilla or Amaretto. Mix until a soft dough forms.





Roll dough into1-inch balls. Place the balls on an un-greased cookie sheet. Flatten the balls by pressing with a fork dipped in water (or use a potato masher). This step will leave a pattern on top of the cookies (see image).





Bake at 325掳 for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until edges are lightly browned. While still hot, sift remaining powdered sugar over cookies.

making Snickerdoodles











--------------------------------------鈥?br>

Snickerdoodle Cookies


From the kitchen of Kelly Arnett


1 cup shortening


1 1/2 cups white sugar


2 eggs


2 1/2 cups all purpose flour


2 teaspoons cream of tartar


1 teaspoon baking soda


1/2 teaspoon salt


Cookie Coating





1/4 cup white sugar


2 teaspoons ground cinnamon


Preheat oven to 400掳. In a bowl, mix shortening, sugar and eggs until creamy. In a sifter, combine flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt. Sift the dry ingredients into the bowl of wet ingredients. Blend with a wooden spoon until completely combined.





Roll the cookie dough into balls the size of small walnuts. Mix the cinnamon and remaining sugar in a small shallow bowl. Roll the cookie dough balls in the cinnamon and sugar mixture until well coated.





Place coated cookie dough balls on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 6-8 minutes -- watch carefully to make sure they don't overcook.





Let cookies set one minute on cookie sheet, then remove to rack to finish cooling. Makes about 45 cookies. Nana's Note: Finished cookies should be very lightly brown and still soft on top. When they cool, they will crack a little on top.

Pecan or Walnut Cookies


From the kitchen of Lyn White


1 cup ground pecans or walnuts


2 tablespoons regular sugar


1 stick (1/4 pound) softened butter


1 cup sifted flour


1 teaspoon vanilla


powdered sugar


In a food processor, grind enough nuts to measure 1 cup (your choice of pecans or walnuts). Return ground nuts to processor; then add regular sugar, butter, flour and vanilla. Continue processing until dough forms a large ball.





Roll dough into 1 1/2 inch balls. Bake at 350掳 for 12 to 15 minutes on a lightly greased cookie sheet.





While cookies are baking, sift powdered sugar on a large piece of waxed paper. Remove cookies from oven and place hot cookies on waxed paper. Sift additional powdered sugar atop cookies. Allow cookies to completely cool before removing from waxed paper. Nana's Tip: For storage, place cookies into an air tight container and sift additional powdered sugar atop cookies.

Helen Dudgeon's Peppernuts (variation 2)


From the kitchen of Marjorie Hutt


2 cups dark syrup


1/2 teaspoon cloves


1 1/2 cups sugar


3/4 teaspoon cinnamon


1/2 cup Crisco (or other vegetable shortening)


1/2 teaspoon lemon extract


1/2 cup milk


1/2 teaspoon vanilla


1 teaspoon baking powder


1 1/4 teaspoon anise extract


1/2 teaspoon salt


7 1/2 cups flour


Boil sugar and milk, add shortening and syrup. Cool. Add rest of ingredients. Mixture makes a very stiff dough. Cool at least overnight.





Shape dough in 1/4'; thick rolls on board dusted with powdered sugar. Cut pieces 3/8'; long.





Bake at 375掳 for 8-10 minutes. Do Not Over-bake. Let cool on baking sheet for 1 to 2 minutes before removing.





Makes 8 cups of Peppernuts.





Nana's Note: Pfeffernusse is the traditional name for these Central European Christmas cookies. They are rich with honey and subtle spice flavors and will keep well at room temperature (if stored airtight) for 2-3 weeks.





Recipe History: Contributor Marjorie Hutt tells us this unique recipe's background:


It is so interesting how different Nellie Eugenia's recipe (variation 1 contributed by Lois Sherwood) is from this version prepared by Aunt Helen (Sherwood) Dudgeon and shared with family and friends for years. This version is the one that I make and it brings back memories of years gone by. I must admit that I have managed to cut some time from the recipe. As Lois will testify, it is a time consuming endeavor.











--------------------------------------鈥?br>

Nellie Eugenia's Peppernuts (variation 1)


From the kitchen of Lois Sherwood


3 cups white sugar


3 cups brown sugar


1 teaspoon ginger


1 teaspoon cloves


1 teaspoon salt


1 teaspoon black pepper (or salt and pepper to taste)


3/4 cup butter or margarine


1/4 cup Crisco (or other vegetable shortening) or lard


2 eggs slightly beaten


1 teaspoon anise extract (or to taste)


6 cups flour


1 heaping teaspoon baking powder


1 1/2 cups water or enough to make a stiff dough


1 cup finely chopped nuts (walnuts)


In a very large bowl, mix together white sugar, brown sugar, ginger, cloves, salt and pepper. Blend in butter and lard (or Crisco) with a pastry blender. Beat egg slightly with a fork, add anise to eggs and add to butter and sugar mixture. Mix well.





Add flour 1 cup at a time alternately with a small amount of water. Don't add too much water with each cup of flour, about 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons with each 1 cup addition of flour. Continue adding flour and water until all six cups of flour and about one cup of water has been mixed. Mix well until all flour is blended. Dough will be stiff. Add nuts, a small amount at a time until mixed evenly into dough.





Sift a small amount of flour on a breadboard. Roll dough into about 3 inch round balls. Roll each ball into a log 3/4 of an inch round, and about 12 inches long. If dough gets sticky, sift more flour on to the board.





Slice logs into 1/2 inch pieces. Dip knife into flour to prevent sticking to dough. (Do not use serrated knife.) Place dough slices on a well greased cookie sheet, about two inches apart. Bake at 300掳 for 20 minutes or until lightly brown. Remove from cookie sheet and cool.





Place a small amount of powdered sugar into a plastic bag; add a few cookies and shake the bag until all cookies are lightly dusted with powdered sugar. Store in a tightly sealed cookie tin. Nana's Note: Contributor Lois Sherwood tells us her special recipe tips:


I use a large wooden cutting board and I flour it because the dough can be sticky. Take a hunk of dough and roll it around a little on the floured surface. Divide into several balls then roll into logs.


The logs should be about one foot long and about 3/4 inches in diameter. Using a long knife with a dullish edge (like a cake knife) slice each cookie 1/2 inch thick. Don't use a serrated knife as the dough will stick to it. Sometimes I will rub the knife with flour to prevent sticking. If some of the pieces stick to the cutting board while trying to remove them it will help if you use a Teflon coated spatula.


Usually I make 5 or 6 logs at a time then lay them together on the cutting board and cut through all of them at onetime. Through the years I have created short cuts for myself because when I make a double recipe it is quite a bit of work.








Recipe History: Contributor Lois Sherwood tells us this unique recipe's background: ';This recipe is my Grandmother's (my Dad's Mother, Nellie Eugenia). She was Danish so this must be a Danish version. When I was a little child, I remember being at my Grandmother's at Christmas and reaching into a big glass jar for some delicious Peppernuts. It was such a delightful treat. These cookies are going to be hard small cookies the size of a big nut, don't despair, they soften in your mouth (not in your hands) and they are very good with coffee or hot chocolate.';

Poor Man's Cookies


2 cups oats (quick or old fashioned)


1 cup packed brown sugar


1/2 cup white sugar


1 cup all-purpose flour


1/2 teaspoon salt


1 teaspoon baking soda


1/4 cup hot water


1/2 cup shortening or margarine (melted and cooled)


1 teaspoon vanilla


Optional: 1/2 cup raisins


In a mixing bowl, combine oats, sugars, flour and salt. Mix well. Combine soda and hot water; stir into oat mixture along with shortening and vanilla (mixture will be crumbly). Roll or squeeze into walnut-size balls.





Place on greased cookie sheets. Bake at 350掳 for about 10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven; allow to stand 2 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool. Yields about 3 1/2 dozen. Recipe History: My husband Jerry's mother, Erma, made Poor Man's Cookies during the Great Depression. When Erma and her husband Bill moved to California in 1940, Erma brought the recipe with her. We are certain it was a recipe she had tucked in her mind as we have never found it written.


We found a similar recipe in a magazine a few years ago and adapted it to recreate Erma's special recipe, complete with optional raisins. The name ';Poor Man'; was given to the recipe because there are no eggs or milk in the cookies -- this saved a family's precious Depression money.

Allow icing to dry and add wax paper between cookies before stacking. Optional: Add finely chopped nuts and dates to icing. (Click on the above Pumpkin Cookie to see a larger image that includes the icing. Nana's Tip: For an extra touch try adding a topping of semi-sweet chocolate chips, candies, raisins or nuts.

Biscotti Aloha


From the kitchen of Eloise Gregg


1/2 cup butter


1/4 cup sugar


2 eggs


2 tablespoons Coconut Amaretto (or 2 tablespoons milk plus 1/4 teaspoon almond extract)


2 cups plus two tablespoons unbleached or all purpose flour


1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder


1/4 teaspoon nutmeg


1/4 teaspoon salt


2/3 cup macadamia nuts


1/2 cup shredded coconut


In a mixing bowl cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, Coconut Amaretto or milk with almond extract. In a bowl combine flour, baking powder, nutmeg and salt. Add to the creamed mixture, mixing until blended. Fold in nuts and coconut.





Divide dough in half. On a greased and floured baking sheet, pat out into logs about 1/2 inch high, 1 1/2 inches wide and 14 inches long, space them at least 2 inches apart. Bake on the middle rack of a preheated 325掳 oven for 25 minutes or until lightly browned.





Transfer from baking sheet to a rack. Let cool for five minutes. Place on a cutting board.





With a serrated knife slice diagonally on a 45 degree angle about 1/2 inch thick. Lay slices flat on baking sheet and return to oven for ten minutes longer, turning them over once to dry slightly. Let cool on a rack. Store in a tightly covered container. Makes 3 1/2 to 4 dozen cookies.





Nana's Tip: Eloise (the recipe contributor) uses regular Amaretto and uses parchment paper instead of a greased and floured baking sheet. The dough will be tacky so you should flour your hands while handling the uncooked dough.





Recipe History: Eloise was born and raised in Hawaii. She recently returned from a vacation in Hawaii to visit her relatives in Honolulu.
