[CnD] Butter Ball Kisses Cookies Recipe
Butter Ball Kisses Cookies Recipe Another "oldie but goodie" going back to the early 80's when my girls were little and I baked a lot of cookies - as did my mother, which is where I got this recipe from. My girls always loved the chocolate kiss atop the buttery cookie. This cookie does not have the peanut butter in the dough, like the Blossom cookies, but are more of a shortbread type cookie dough. You can "dress them up" by drizzling melted white or chocolate chips over the tops. I've also substituted the kiss with Andes Mints or a chocolate star - lots of variations possible with this basic shortbread type cookie dough Ingredients * 1/2 pound butter, softened * 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons brown sugar * 1 and 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract * 2 1/4 cups flour * about 36 chocolate kisses, wrappers removed * white or crystallized sugar for dipping dough balls into Directions 1. With wooden spoon, cream butter until fluffy. 2. Stir in sugar and extract, beating by hand to incorporate it into butter. 3. Stir in flour, mixing until well blended. 4. Batter will be very stiff. 5. Taking about 1 tablespoon of dough in your hand, squeeze it into a compact mass, and roll into a ball with the palms of your hands (balls should be about 1½" in diameter). 6. Roll balls in sugar. then place them on ungreased cookie sheet and place a kiss or star in the middle of each, pressing it into the ball very lightly. 7. Bake at 350 degrees for 18 to 22 minutes, until cookie is just barely browned on the bottom and around edges. 8. Cool cookies on wire rack before storing in an airtight container. 9. NOTE: Good suggestion from Lasaf - use some of the delicious flavored kisses available these days...raspberry, caramel, mint...so many flavors, you could change the flavor of these little buttery cookies with each batch! Enjoy! ___ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark

Re: [CnD] Recipe request: Butter cookies: BUTTER BITES
BUTTER BITES 1 c. flour, sifted 1/2 cup confectioners sugar 1/2 cup butter, softened 1 tsp. vanilla extract Preheat oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and sugar. Using a wooden spoon, blend in the butter and vanilla extract. Dough will be stiff. Dust your hands with flour, and shape the dough into 3/4 inch balls. Set on an ungreased cookie sheet and flatten by pressing with the tines of a floured fork, crosswise. Bake approximately 15 minutes, or until a pale golden brown. Remove immediately from cookie sheet and cool on wire rack. Makes approximately 24 cookies. Note: Do not place cookies on a warm cookie sheet, as this will cause them to spread before cooking. Variation: Add finely chopped blanched almonds, macadamia nuts, or pistachio nuts. Can also substitute almond extract, lemon or orange oils, or liqueurs. These little cookies work well for dipping in chocolate, especially when using almonds.

Re: [CnD] pressure cooker thoughts
A pressure cooker is a specially designed pot that cooks food under high pressure, thus cooking it faster and rendering some less expensive cuts of meat, for instance, more tender. The pressure comes from steam that is built up inside the pot. The lid has a valve for controlling the steam and making sure the pot doesn't explode all over your kitchen. I got a pressure cooker for Christmas a couple of years ago and I like it. Modern ones are very safe and easy to use. I would suggest that if you are a patron of the National Library Service, you go look up a book called Pressure Perfect, which gives recipes and describes how this appliance works and how to use it. If you use Bookshare, they have several pressure cooker books. Pot roast, for example, can be cooked in considerably under an hour.

Re: [CnD] Question: what can the blind do in a restaurant?
anything you, and the employers insurance are comfortable with. I worked with Orange Julius for 3 weeks once, making the Juliuses, until their insurance figured I'd get hurt by "something," like, would you believe, an electric mixer? GAD! was in the late sixties so I couldn't kick much about it, but everyone enjoyed my Juliuses. :) At 02:10 AM 12/4/2015, you wrote: Hi, As a programmer, I started programming before I even knew my limitations. I didn't know what the blind can and cannot do when it comes to programming, and I frankly didn't care: programming was fun and I did it, and that was all that mattered. However, when it comes to food-related stuff, for most stuff, you need to get training, and you need to know what you can do better than others, and what you're not so good at, and what you definitely cannot do, so that you can do what is called "targeted learning", where you slim down what you're going to learn to what you will absolutely need, and go for them. My spouse who is completely blind likes to one day own a restaurant. Even if she doesn't achieve this goal, she enjoys reading about food, learning how to cook, and so on. I've read that there are blind restaurant owners and chefs and so on, and this email is for those people. Since you guys are much more experienced at this than I am, can you help her decide what to learn? What positions in a restaurant are blind-friendly, to coin a term?
