Jewish Joke of the Week

Which hand is best to light the 
menorah with?

 Neither, it’s best to light 
 it with a candle.

Get ready for Chanukah with these 
tasty and simple cookies.

Ingredients:
Premade cookie dough
Flour
½ cup crushed hard candy

Preparation:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. On a 
lightly floured surface, roll out batter 
about ¼ inch thick.
Use cookie cutters to cut out 
shapes. Cut a small circle in the 
middle of each shape with a butter 
knife or smaller cookie cutter.

Place shapes on a parchment-
lined baking sheet and bake for 5 
minutes.
Remove the baking sheet, and 
carefully spoon ½ teaspoon of 
crushed hard candy into the center 
of each cookie.
Bake for 4-5 more minutes, 
or until the candy has melted 
completely.
Cool, first for 15 minutes on 
baking sheet, then move to cooling 
rack.
