Bonnies Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• Line three baking sheets with Silpat baking mats.
• Grind almonds with granulated sugar in the bowl of a food processor until fine. Transfer to a medium bowl. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Add almond extract. Gently stir egg-white mixture into almond mixture to form a thick paste.
• Drop dough in rounded teaspoons onto prepared baking sheets about 1 1/2 inches apart. Dust with confectioners' sugar, and let stand at room temperature to dry for 2 hours.
• Place rack in center of oven, and preheat oven to 300 degrees. Transfer sheets to oven, and bake amaretti until edges are golden and cookies are firm, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool. Dust with confectioners' sugar. Repeat with remaining cookie dough.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275˚F (135˚C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, salt, and baker's ammonia.
• In a separate medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugar with an electric hand mixer on low speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
• Add the vanilla and continue beating until fully combined.
• Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and beat to incorporate.
• Roll about 1 ounce of dough at a time in your hands to make walnut-sized balls. They will be small, about ½ inch (1 ¼ cm) wide. Place the balls of dough on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1 inch (2 ½ cm) of space between each cookie. Using a flat-bottomed measuring cup, gently press down on the cookies to flatten.
• Top each cookie with 3 chocolate chips, a single almond, or raisins.
• Bake the cookies for 30 minutes, or until the bottoms are light golden brown and the edges are crispy.
• Enjoy!

Store them in an air tight container after they have been chilled and the frosting is set. Put wax paper between the layers of cookies.

• LARGE MIXING BOWL: Cream together 1 1/2 cups of sugar and 1 cup of butter (2 sticks) until smooth. Then add the 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1 cup sour cream, and 1 egg until smooth.
• Add flour mixture to the creamed mixture a little at a time until the dough is smooth and firm. Refrigerate dough for 15 minutes. Use a scoop to make uniform balls. Place them on an ungreased cookie sheet. I use an air cookie sheet. Press each ball with flat fingers until it is about 3/4 inch high.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, stir together the shortening and cream cheese until well blended. Stir in the flour, you may need to use your hands to help it form a dough. If the mixture seems too dry, add a couple of teaspoons of water. Cover and chill several hours or overnight.

• Before rolling out the dough, dust the rolling surface heavily with confectioners' sugar. Roll the dough out to 1/8 inch thickness. Cut into 1x4 inch strips. Place a cherry on the end of each strip. Roll up each strip starting with the cherry. Place on prepared cookie sheets and dust with a little of the confectioners' sugar.
• Bake for 7 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Cookies should brown slightly. Dust again with the confectioners' sugar. Allow cookies to cool before serving, the cherries are very hot!
