Cookie Corner and cold desserts
Since it has been so hot I thought I would revamp cookie corner and have some cold desserts.
please add any kinky ideas like ginger pops etc.
INGREDIENTS for Ginger Cookies
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup margarine, softened
1 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 tablespoon water
1/4 cup molasses
2 tablespoons white sugar
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Sift together the flour, ginger, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the margarine and 1 cup sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, then stir in the water and molasses. Gradually stir the sifted ingredients into the molasses mixture. Shape dough into walnut sized balls, and roll them in the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar. Place the cookies 2 inches apart onto an ungreased cookie sheet, and flatten slightly.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.

Chocolate Rum Cookies
Slightly bitter and very addictive! Takes a bit of chillin' time.
1-1/4 c. Flour
1-1/2 tsp. Baking Powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 c. ground hazelnuts
12 oz. bittersweet chocolate
1/4 c. butter
1/4 c. dark rum
2 large eggs
1/4 c. icing sugar (for sprinkling)
In a bowl- mix flour, baking powder, salt and hazelnuts together.
In a double-boiler with barely simmering water, melt chocolate and butter, stirring occasionally.
Stir in rum and cool.
Whisk in eggs and stir in flour mixture.
Cover and chill dough about 1 hour, or until firm enough to handle.
Halve dough and form into two 10" logs on waxed paper and chill 4 hours, or until firm.
Preheat oven to 350*F.
Spray 2 baking sheets.
Cut logs into 1/2" rounds and arrange about 1" apart on baking sheets.
Bake cookies in batches for 8 minutes and transfer to rack.
Cookies should be thick and cake-like.
Cool cookies completely and sprinkle with icing sugar.
Makes about3 dozen cookies.
enjoy!
