Title: Shoo-Fly Cookies
Categories: Cookies, Amish
Servings: 6

1/4 c Molasses
1/4 c Light corn syrup
1 pn Of Salt
1 ts Baking soda
1 c Boiling water
Crumb Topping:
3/4 c Butter, softened
1 c Brown sugar
1 1/2 c All purpose flour
1 ts Ground cinnamon
1/2 ts Grated nutmeg

Pastry for a 2 crust 9 inch pie

Shoo-fly pies are not made here (Indiana) as commonly as in Pennsylvania.
However, this cookie recipe is a wonderful substitute. It is like a tender
gingerbread in a pastry crust, with a thin, subtle layer of molasses
pudding on th bottom.

Line a 2 quart rectangular glass baking dish with pastry, crimping the
dough well at the top and over the sides--you do not want it to slip during
baking. With a food processor or mixer, combine the crumb ingredients;
reserve. Preheat the oven to 325 F. In a medium bowl, combine the
molasses, corn syrup, salt, baking soda, and boiling water. Pour 1/2 cup of
the liquid into the pie shell and sprinkle with one-third of the crumb
mixture. Repeat twice, ending with crumbs. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes.
Watch carefully in the beginning, and if crust begins to slip down, pat it
back up with a knife. The top will be golden. Let cool and cut into 1-1/2
inch squares. NOTE: If you really like molasses, use less corn syrup and
increase the molasses.

COOKIE DOUGH
1 1/2 c. flour
1/2 c. cocoa
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. br. sugar
1/2 c. margarine
1/4 c. peanut butter
1 tsp. vanilla
1 egg
FILLING
3/4 c. peanut butter
3/4 c. icing sugar

Cream the margarine, sugar and peanut butter well. Beat in the egg and
vanilla. Stir in the baking soda, then the cocoa and flour. Form this dough
into 30 balls. Combine the filling ingredients and form into 30 balls. With
floured hands, shape the chocolate ball around the peanut butter centers.
Place 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. If they are not totally
covered that's ok. Flatten slightly with the bottom of a drinking glass
dipped in sugar. Bake in a preheated oven 375 deg. for 7-9 min. This makes
chocolate cookies with soft peanut butter centers that taste like peanut
butter cups!

Title: Rhubarb Cookies
Categories: Cookies
Servings: 30

1/4 lb Butter (1 stick)
1 c Light brown sugar
1 Egg
1 c Cooked rhubarb, drained **
2 c Flour
1/4 ts Salt
1 ts Baking soda
1 ts Freshly grated nutmeg
1 ts Cinnamon
1/2 ts Ground cloves
3 tb Finely chopped crystallized ginger (OPTIONAL)
1/2 c Chopped walnuts
1 c Raisins

** To cook rhubarb: Use a proportion of 4 cups sliced rhubarb cut in
1/2-inch pieces to 1 cup sugar. Toss the rhubarb and sugar together and
let steep overnight (you will be amazed at how much juice the rhubarb gives
off). Pour off 3/4 cup of the liquid and use for a drink. Cook the rhubarb
slices in the remaining until just tender but still holding their shape,
less than 5 minutes. The rhubarb is ready to eat as is, to use in other
recipes, or to freeze in containers.

Cream the butter and sugar together. Add the egg and beat until light,
then stir in the rhubarb. Stir the flour, salt, baking soda, and spices
together and toss until thoroughly mixed. Stir the dry ingredients into
the rhubarb mixture until the two are blended, then fold in the optional
ginger, the walnuts, and the raisins. Drop the batter by the tablespoonful
onto greased baking sheets about 1 1/2 inches apart, and bake in a
preheated 350 F oven for 12 minutes, until lightly browned at the edges.
Makes about 30 cookies.

* * * * * * * *

1 recipe almond paste (recipe follows)
2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 Tablespoons flour
2 raw egg whites (can be 1 to 4 - see instruction 2)

1) Soften almond paste with the back of a tablespoon and
work in the dry ingredients. Mix well.

2) Begin adding egg whites, preparing them one at a time in
case you don't need all of them. Blend well after each addition.
Use only enough egg white to make a soft dough that will HOLD
ITS SHAPE when dropped from a spoon.

3) Drop 2 inches apart on a brown-paper-covered baking
sheet. Pat tops lightly with fingers dipped in cold water.

4) Bake at 150 degrees C (300 degrees F) for 18 to 20
minutes, or until set and delicately browned.

5) Remove from paper with a spatula onto wire racks to cool.

Almond Paste

2 cups ground almonds (measure after grinding)
3/4 cup sifted powdered sugar
1/4 cup raw egg whites (flexible - see Note below)
2 teaspoons almond extract

1) Combine the ground almonds with the sugar, then blend in
the egg whites and almond extract.

2) Mold into a ball and age for four days in a tightly
covered container in the refrigerator.

Note: If you have 1/2 cup of egg whites and you don't want
to throw the extra 1/4 cup away, simply use the whole 1/2 cup
for this recipe and add fewer egg whites for the almond
macaroons.

Honey Graham Crackers

1/2 C Butter
2 C Graham flour
1 T Baking powder
2 T Brown sugar
1/2 T Cinnamon, ground
1/4 C Honey
1 Egg, beaten
1/4 C Water, hot

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Using a pastry blender or two knives,
cut butter into flour until mixture has the texture of cornmeal. Stir
in baking powder, brown sugar and cinnamon. Add egg and hot water and
mix until well blended.
Knead dough 2 or 3 minutes. Set half aside. Roll out into a square
about 1/8 inch thick. Place on ungreased baking sheet. Score dough into
about 2-inch squares, using a sharp knife. Bake at 350 degrees F. for
10 minutes or until lightly browned. Roll out and bake remaining half
of dough. Cool baked crackers and gently separate into squares.
Yield: Makes 36-40.

Vicki,La (11:01:30 pm) : Graham Crackers

4 Tbls (1/4 c.) butter, softened
1 egg, well beaten
6 Tbls. sugar
4 Tbls. honey
1/2 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. water
3/4 tsp. salt
1 1/2 c. graham flour
3/4 c. flour

(For cinnamon graham crackers substitute sugar for honey and add 1 tsp.
cinnamon) Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Combine the butter, egg, and
sugar in a bowl and beat until smooth and creamy. Stir in the honey and
blend. Dissolve the baking soda in the water & add to the butter mixture.
Add the salt, graham flour and flour to the mixture & blend thoroughly.
The dough should hold together and be manageable. If it is too "tacky" add
a little more graham flour. Liberally dust a surface with graham flour and
roll the dough to a thickness of about 1/8 inch. For convenience in
handling, cut the dough into 3 or 4 sections that will fit on your cookie
sheet. With a knife score the dough without cutting through, into 2 1/2
inch squares. Prick each square a few times with the tines of a fork.
Using a spatula, place the sections of scored cracker dough on an
ungreased cookie sheet. Bake on the first side for 8 minutes, then turn
over & bake for 6-7 minutes. Cool on racks.

1 Egg
1 c Crushed pineapple with juice
3 1/2 c Flour
1 ts Baking soda
1/2 ts Salt
1/4 ts Nutmeg

A last minute substitute gave a new twist to an old Amish recipe for
raisin cookies. The cupboard was bare so leftover pineapple was substituted
for the raisins. Everyone preferred the pineapple version. (Editor's Note:
We called these Pineapple Muffins Cookies, because they came out big and
soft.)

Preheat oven to 350 .

In a large mixing bowl, cream shortening, sugar and egg. When light and
fluffy, stir in crushed pineapple with juice.

Sift flour, baking soda, salt and nutmeg together and stir into batter.
When the mixture is well blended, stir in nuts.

Drop by teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart on greased baking sheets. Bake at 350
for 8-10 minutes. Cool on wire racks.
