RECIPES – BAKING COOKIES / For Oven Baking Feature (cont.)
-
Preheat the oven to 325
F. Grease baking sheet. (Make sure the baking sheet is the
right size to fit into the oven.)
-
Sift the flour, baking soda and all the spices into a bowl. Set aside.
-
Cream together the butter or margarine and 2/3 of the sugar with an electric mixer.
-
Stir in the egg, molasses and lemon juice. Add the flour mixture and mix in
thoroughly with a wooden spoon to make a soft dough.
-
Shape the dough into 1/4 “ balls. Roll the balls in the left over sugar and place them
on the baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
-
Bake for about 12 minutes or until the cookies are firm to the touch. Transfer to a
wire rack and let cool before serving.
(You may need to repeat the baking process for the remaining dough.)
ALMOND CINNAMON COOKIE BALLS
Makes 15
1 ½ Cups Ground almonds
1/3 Cup Granulated sugar
1 Tablespoon Ground Cinnamon
2 Egg Whites
Oil For greasing
Confectioners’ Sugar or Powder Sugar for coating
-
Preheat the oven to 350
F. Grease a baking sheet. (Make sure the baking sheet is
the right size to fit into the oven.)
-
Mix together the ground almonds, sugar and cinnamon. Beat the egg whites until
they begin to stiffen and fold enough into the almond mixture to make a fairly firm
dough. Wet hands with cold water and roll small spoonfuls of the dough into round
balls. Place onto baking sheet.
-
Bake for 15 minutes making sure that they remain soft on the inside. Too much
baking time will result in hard and tough cookies. Remove the cookie balls from the
baking sheet and set aside to cool.
-
Sift the confections’ sugar or powder sugar onto a plate. Roll the cookie balls into
the sugar, shaking off any excess.
(You may need to repeat the baking process for the remaining dough.)
