Culinary Corner: Domino Cookies

This is the kinda recipe you just need in your files. It’s the recipe you’ll pull out when you want to bake cookies for fun, to decorate to match a theme, to ice, or just to play with.

Creating Domino & Legos are just one fun way to use this cookie recipe. But the possibilities are endless!

To create domino cookies you’ll need: Mini colored chocolate lentils and some marshmallow fluff.

Remember to score the cookies before baking using a skewer or knife to lightly form the indent.

To create lego cookies you’ll need: Colored icing (store-bought or homemade) and colored chocolate lentils. Ice the cookies and then stick the lentils onto the top of the icing while the icing is still wet.

Happy Bakin,

Good Cookie Recipe

By: Raizy Fried

Ingredients

3½ cups flour

¾ teaspoon baking powder

¼-½ teaspoon salt

2 sticks (1 cup) margarine or Betterine 

1½ cups sugar 

2 extra-large eggs

3 teaspoons pure vanilla extract 

Directions 

Preheat oven to 375° F.

In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. 

In another bowl, beat the margarine with the sugar on medium-high speed until smooth.

Add the eggs and vanilla, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add the flour mixture until combined. If the dough is sticky, add additional flour. 

Divide the dough into 4 even sections. Wrap each one in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, but not hard (about 30 minutes, if desired).

Have fun rolling out your dough and shaping with cookie cutters of your choice.

Bake the cookies at 375° F for 8 to 10 minutes. (Bigger cookies will need more time.)
