Here are 2 simple recipes we made during the visit with our Texas cousins:
“ELF COOKIES” (derived from a Veggie Tales movie)
(Note: This are basically sugar cookies with some hard candy in the center—You can omit the hard candy portion & just refridgerate the dough, then make the shapes & bake later.)
½ c. butter
1 c sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
2 ½ c four
½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
SmBag Hard Candy: Jolly Ranchers (optional)
DIRECTIONS:
· Beat the eggs
· Add butter, sugar, vanilla
· Mix dry ingredients in separate bowl
· Add to wet ingredients (stiff dough)
· Chill in fridge for 1 hour
· Crush the candy in a small plastic bag
· Shape the dough, leaving an opening for the hard candy to be added later (we rolled it into little logs & formed shapes like hearts, flowers, circles, etc, leaving a hole in the center)
· Pre-Heat oven to 350 degrees
· Put dough on cookie sheet & bake for 10 minutes (golden brown)
· Add the crushed candy in the center of the cookies
· Bake again for approx 3 minutes (until candy melts)
· Let the cookies cool, then ENJOY
“SALTDOUGH” (derived from “Rainy Days” book)
