Recipe Box

Rate/Review

Preparation time: 30 min Chilling time: 2 hrs Baking time: 7 min

Yield: 3 dozen cookies

3/4		cup sugar
3/4		cup LAND O LAKES® Butter, softened
1		egg
1		teaspoon almond extract
1 2/3		cups all-purpose flour
1/3		cup unsweetened cocoa

Combine sugar and butter in large bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy. Add egg and almond extract; continue beating until well mixed. Reduce speed to low; beat, gradually adding flour and cocoa and scraping bowl often, until well mixed.

Divide dough into thirds. Wrap each third in plastic food wrap; refrigerate until firm (2 hours or overnight).

Heat oven to 375°F. Shape dough with floured hands, one-third at a time (keep remaining dough refrigerated), into 1-inch balls. Form balls into desired shapes (balls, squares, logs, etc.) or follow variations as directed below. Place 1 inch apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 7 to 9 minutes or until set. (Surface may crack slightly.) Cool completely. Decorate as desired.

Recipe Tip
If you want to use a cookie press to form cookies, it is not necessary to chill dough before forming cookies.

Recipe Tip
Too much flour can make your cookies dry and crumbly. To measure flour, lightly spoon flour into measuring cup and level off with a straight edge.

VARIATIONS:

Nut Rolls: Shape dough into 2 to 3-inch logs. Bake as directed. Cool completely. Dip both ends of each cookie into melted chocolate chips, then in finely chopped nuts.

Surprise–Filled: Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Make depression in center of each cookie with back of teaspoon. Bake as directed. Cool completely. Fill with maraschino cherry half. Spoon melted vanilla milk chips over top of cookie.

Cut-Out Cookies: Roll out dough on lightly floured surface, one-third at a time (keeping remaining dough refrigerated), to 1/8 to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut with 3-inch cookie cutter. Place 1 inch apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake as directed. Decorated as desired.

Election 2008

Donna Scott — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 17:09:30 +0000

I was not going to post on the election at all. But, after much thought I decided to give some advice to my fellow Christians concerning the election. First of all VOTE! It is important as Christians that we vote. It is more important that we vote wisely with much prayer. I have often struggled with voting, feeling like I really didn’t know the candidates well enough to make an informed vote. Whatever you do, do not depend on the media. They have a secular agenda and only let you see what they want you to see. Just because you see or hear it on CNN does not mean it is absolute truth. So, how do we know who to really vote for? Well, there are three important websites for you to visit. The first is: www.votesmart.org on the right you will see presidential candidates, click there and you can go see the candidates and research their voting records. The second site is: www.christianvoterguide.com and here is a voters guide (pdf) Last but not least is www.wallbuilders.com This site is by David Barton. He has amazing resources on America’s history and the Bible in American history. Very informative. I hope this helps you in making your decisions for your vote. Do not vote just because you want to be on the winning team, vote with your conscience! Vote smart. Every vote counts and it is time American Christians let their voice be heard loud and clear.
