Week 6 Victory Monday cookies

Uncategorized Leave a comment

To celebrate our win over the Raiders, and an unbelievable touchdown toss by our Josh allen…

I made halloween themed cutout cookie sandwiches, using my   Pumpkin, bat and ghost shaped cookie cutters. 

Super easy recipe.  Big sweet, soft cookies that remind me of childhood and baking them for various holidays (mostly christmas).  I didn’t chill the dough at all, because these use crisco.

Remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount.  And preheat your oven before baking.

  • Ingredients list
  • 1 1/3 cups crisco
  • 1 1/2 cups crisco
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 tbs vanilla
  • 4 cups flour
  • 3 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt

Directions – preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Line a cookie sheet with baking liners. Set aside.  In a bowl, cream butter and sugar.  Add eggs and vanilla.  Blend in dry ingredients.   Flour a flat surface with flour.  using a rolling pin, roll to desired thickness.  Cut with cookie cutters.  Stagger on prepared sheet.  Bake 8 to 9 minutes no longer.  Cool completely. 

For filling, I combined 1/4 cup melted butter with 2 to 3 cups powdered sugar.  I added vanilla and enough milk to get the consistency I wanted.  Spread a few spoonfuls between 2 cookies for a sandwich.  

Store in covered container.

To celebrate our win over the Bengals (which was pretty stressful), I present gingerbread men/reindeer cookie sandwiches.   One way they are gingerbread men,

flip them upside down and they are reindeer. 

I colored the filling green for a little holiday pop.

Remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount.   After you cut out the cookies, i recommend chilling them in for a few hours.  And preheat your oven before baking.

  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp ground cloves

Directions – in a bowl, combine butter and brown sugar.   Add molasses, egg and vanilla.   Blend in dry ingredients.   Dough will be crumbly.  You may need to add a few tbs of water to make dough easier to use with.  Roll ans cut.  Chill doughs a few hours.   Preheat oven to 325 degrees.  Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.   Stagger cookies on sheet.  Bake 8 to 18 minutes, no longer.   Cool completely.
