Title: Traditional Decorated Christmas Cookies
Categories: Cookies, Desserts
Yield: 48 servings

MMMMM—————————COOKIE——————————–
3/4 c Butter, unsalted; softened
1/2 c Sugar
1 Egg
1 tb Lemon peel; finely grated
1 ts Vanilla
1/4 ts Salt
2 1/4 c Flour, all purpose; unsifted
1 tb Water; (use 2 if req’d)

MMMMM—————————ICING——————————–
3 Egg whites
1 lb Sugar, powdered
2 ts Water; (use 3 if req’d)
Food colors, sprinkles, etc

Beat together butter and sugar in small bowl with electric mixer until
light and fluffy. Beat in egg, lemon peel, vanilla and salt.
Gradually beat in flour until thoroughly incorporated. Add water, a
few drops at a time, only until dough starts to come away from side
of bowl. Wrap dough in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until firm, about 2
hours.

Preheat oven to 350øF. Lightly grease 4 cookie sheets. On lightly
floured surface, roll out dough to 1/8″ thickness. Cut out various
shapes using cookie cutters or homemade cardboard patterns, or
freehand. Reroll scraps and cut out. Make small holes with wooden
pick if planning to hang cookies. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until
beginning to brown around edges. Remove cookies to wire rack to cool
before decorating.

Prepare icing: Beat egg whites in small bowl with electric mixer until
foamy. Slowly beat in the powdered sugar. Continue to beat until
thick and creamy. Add just enough water to get a good spreading
consistency. Tint with food coloring, if you wish. Spread evenly over
cookies. Decorate with glitter, sprinkles, dragees and cinnamon red
hots, if desired.

Hummos

Recipe By : dean@underground.irhe.upenn.edu (Kareema Dean)
Serving Size : 15 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Sauces Fatfree

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
1 Lg Garbanzo Beans, Canned
1/2 Sm Onion
1 Garlic Clove — or 2, or
— a few tsp powder
2 Tsp Cumin
1 Tsp Coriander — or 2
1 Tsp Chili Powder — or cayenne
1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp Vinegar
Salt — to taste
Parsley — minced

You can make a great hummos or babaganouj too without the tahina. Baba
ganouj tastes good with ff youghurt substituted for the tahina. My
“hummos” is below. It is really more of a chick pea dip/spread:

Throw it in the blender and blend! tada! If your spicing tastes are
picky, add 1/2 the spicing and then blend and taste and adjust from there.

I like things really spiced! But this is good as a dip or spread with
tomato or felafil (which is a great portable meal!)… which I hope y’all
know can be baked instead of fried!
