Rasberry Chews (bar cookies)
My Mom has made these for me and my brothers and sisters since we were kids! ...It is not Christmas without them.
My Mom is gone now and I make them for my family and friends... everyone loves em!...
What this recipe is not telling you is to bake the short bread layer first, then spread with the jam, then coconut on top of jam layer., Then fold very fine chopped walnuts into beaten eggwhites, then spread eggwhites over top of coconut and bake. Makes a delicious holiday treat with a crispy crumbly merangue topping
Shortbread - flour, icing sugar & butter.
don't know any recipes right off hand, but google cookie recipes and i'm sure you'll find lots of them.
good luck!
Just make shortbread cookies, they are super easy and fun to decorate, cut out with cookie cutters.
1 1/2 cups butter
1 cup confection sugar
1 tbsp vanilla (you can really add anything, almond, mint, etc)
3 cups white flour
Make your shapes and decorate, bake on a cookie sheet at 325 for about 15 minutes till golden.
I always bake sugar cookies and decorate them. Go to kraftfoods.com, I got some great cookie recipes last year from there.
Sugar Cookies
Things You'll Need:
Measuring Spoons
Cooling Racks
1/2 tsp. lemons extract
1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
Oven mitts
2/3 c. softened unsalted butters
2/3 c. sugars
Measuring cups
1 egg yolks
Cookie sheets
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/3 tsp. salt
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 eggs
Mixing Spoons
Mixing bowls
Steps:
Step One: Combine the flour, salt and baking powder. Do not sift.
Step Two: Beat the butter until creamy, then add the sugar, vanilla and lemon extract and beat for 1 minute.
Step Three: Click to enlargeBeat in the egg and yolk.
Step Four: Stir in the flour mixture only until incorporated. Stop stirring the instant the dough is uniform.
Step Five: Form into a log, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 2 hours.
Step Six: Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
Step Seven: Divide the dough and roll it out between two sheets of wax paper; make your cutouts. Only work with a little at a time. Keep the rest in the refrigerator to stay chilled.
Step Eight: Decorate the tops of the cookies with colored sugar, sprinkles, candies and other foods that won't melt in the oven.
Step Nine: Place the cookies on a nonstick baking sheet and cook for 10 minutes, or until they just start to turn golden around the edges. If cookies turn golden before 10 minutes have passed, lower the oven temperature.
Tips:
- Be sure not to skip the chilling step. This dough needs to be cold, cold, cold.
- The longer the cooking time, the crisper the cookie will be.
- Pure lemon oil, squeezed from the zest and available in many gourmet markets, is an excellent substitute for the lemon extract. It's better, actually, but more expensive and harder to find.
I always make chocolate chunk cookies for Christmas and give them as gifts. They don't contain ginger and in my experience people are always happy to have them. I think people get really tired of those decorated sugar cookies this time of year.
Here's a good recipe. Just substitute Hershey's chocolate chunks, available in a bag at the store, for the choc. chips.

My mom used to make some wonderful iced almond cookies, they had mashed up almond in them and in the icing. They were so delicate and divine, she could hardly get them iced and done with everyone eating them.
It was probably like this:

She would ice them, I think the icing was just plain powdered sugar icing, probably with butter and almond paste. You could also ice them and sprinkle with sliced almonds.
Just leave out the ginger!!! use another of the spices, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, mace, there are lots of them, or leave out the spices all together.
