Making
Your Own

ANNABEL COHEN
Special to the Jewish News

I made several types of cookies and
wrapped each ohe individually. Each
cookie was like a little gift and easier
for people to take home at the end of
the party.
In all I made brownies, chocolate
chunk cookies, biscotti, sugar cookie
butterflies, rugelach, oatmeal cookies
and peanut butter cookies. I also sup-
plemented with store-bought kichel
and pounds of chocolate and halvah.
Here are a few of the recipes.
In addition to the sweets, I prepared
15 pounds of glazed nuts.

SUGAR COOKIE SHAPES
Make them as stars, hearts, baseballs
or whatever shape suits you. Dusted
lightly with sugar, these sparkle, or
glaze them with colored icing.
1 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine,
softened
1 3/4 cups sugar
2 large eggs
2 t. lemon, orange or vanilla extract
1 T. grated lemon or orange peel
3 1/2-4 cups flour
1 t. baking powder
1/2 t. salt
-
sugar or colored sugar for sprin-
kling over cookies, or icing (recipe
below)
Combine butter and sugar in a large
bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until
fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs,
extract and grated peel and beat until
smooth. Set aside.
Combine 3 1/2 cups of flour, baking
powder and salt in a bowl and whisk
to mix well. Beat the flour mixture
into the butter/sugar/egg mixture until
incorporated. If the dough is very
sticky, mix in another 1/2 cup of flour.
Transfer the dough to a large sheet
of plastic wrap and form into a ball
with floured hands. Wrap the dough
and chill for 2 or more hours, up to 2
days.
To bake, preheat oven to 350F. Line
a baking sheet with parchment paper
or spray lightly with non-stick cooking
spray. Cut the dough into 4 pieces.
