This is a very scaled-down version of a recipe we used in cooking class at George Brown College when we made the flan last weekend. I used the leftover dough from then to make these cookies, some of which I dipped in chocolate, and they were all gobbled up by the office staffers at my mom's work! Read more ! Makes enough for 3 9 flan tins, or about 60 cookies. Ingredients:
3/4 cup + 3 tbsp sugar |
pinch salt |
1 cup shortening |
1 tsp vanilla |
1 egg |
4 1/3 cups pastry flour |
1/8 tsp baking powder |
1/4 cup milk |
assorted decorations (pine nuts, almonds, cashew clusters, etc), optional |
Directions:
1. Cream together sugar, salt and shortening until fluffy.
2. Add vanilla and egg, beat well.
3. Combine flour and baking powder, gently mix in alternately with the milk to form a smooth mixture.Work dough into a disc on a lightly floured surface.
4. Wrap in plastic and chill at least 24 hours. Alternately freeze up to 6 months.
5. To bake: Preheat oven to 400F and place cookies on an ungreased sheet. Decorate as desired and bake 8-10 minutes.
