Our cooking classes have been using this cookie recipe to make mini tart shells which they are then filling with banana and caramel sauce and cooking as below. Use your imagination and experiment when cooking, sometimes you discover something so unbelievably, deliciously good!
Spiced Wreaths
1 cup margarine
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups packed brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tablespoons baking powder
½ teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon cloves
1/8 teaspoon salt
In a large bowl beat the margarine with an electric mixer on medium high for about 30 seconds or until soft. Add one cup of flour, the brown sugar, eggs, baking powder, spices and salt. Beat until well combined. Beat or stir in the remaining flour to make a dough and divide in half.
Lightly flour a surface and roll each half to 1/8 inch thick. Use a large round cookie cutter to cut the outside of the wreath, and a smaller one to cut out the center. Place the wreaths one inch apart on an un-greased cookie sheet.
Bake at 375 degrees for 6-8 minutes and allow to cool on a wire tray. Sprinkle the wreaths with powdered sugar or ice them when totally cool.
