Cooking duration: 18 minutes

 

Ingredients:

Halloween-colored sprinkles

1 tablespoon corn syrup

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour

Gel food coloring (to match the color of your sprinkles)

1 ½ tablespoons milk (more to less to get consistency needed for spreading))

¾ cup powdered sugar

1 cup powdered sugar

½ teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon unsalted butter, melted

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Equipment:

baking paper

baking sheet

oven

stand mixer

bowl

melon baller

toothpicks

wire rack

Cooking instruction summary:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper. Pour the sprinkles into a small bowl and set aside.In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter, powdered sugar and vanilla for about 2-3 minutes, until light and fluffy. Add salt and mix until just combined. Gradually add the flour (about ½ cup at a time) mixing well after each addition until completely incorporated and the dough stays in a ball when pressed together.Using a measuring tablespoon, scoop the dough out into even portions. Using your hands, roll each portion into a round ball and then roll the dough in the sprinkles, pressing down as needed to make the sprinkles coat the cookie dough. Place the balls onto the prepared cookie sheet about 1½ inches apart. Using your thumb, gently press down on the top of each ball and make a small indentation, being careful not to crack the dough. (Do not completely flatten the dough – it will flatten a bit as it bakes.)Bake the cookies for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and using a melon baller or other small round kitchen tool, gently press on each cookie to make a deeper indentation (but be careful again, not to press too hard and crack the sides). Bake for 7-8 minutes more until the cookies are set.Cool the cookies completely on a wire rack before frosting.In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar, corn syrup, vanilla extract, melted butter and 1 tablespoon of milk. Stir to combine and add more milk as needed to get a smooth and spoonable, but not runny, consistency. If you want to make different colored icings for your cookies, divide the icing into small bowls – one for each color of icing you desire. Dip a toothpick into the gel food coloring and then stir into your icing, adding more as needed to make the color you want. With a clean toothpick, repeat the process for the other colors.Spoon a small amount of icing into the center of each cookie and allow to set completely before serving.

Food Joke

A little change On his way back from work one evening, Benny gets hit by a car as he crosses Threadneedle Street and is knocked unconscious. To the bystanders, he looks in a bad way. A Priest happens to be passing and not knowing Benny’s religion, administers last rites. But immediately, Benny`s eyes open and he’s quickly fully awake. "What were you saying to me?" asks Benny. The Priest tells him about the last rites. "I suppose a little bit of a different religion won’t hurt," says Benny, "thanks." Benny can’t wait to tell his family about his experience. When he gets home, he says to his wife, "Yetta, you won`t believe what’s just happened to me." But she tells him, "Later, Benny, later. I don`t have time. I’m late for my supervision meeting. I’ve left your dinner in the oven. See you later." So Benny goes up to his daughter’s room and says, "Leah, you won`t believe what’s just happened to me." But she says, "Sorry, Dad, I’m on the phone planning my weekend. Could you please come back later, and close the door behind you, will you." He then goes to look for his son who he finds driving the car out the garage. "Maurice, you won`t believe what’s just happened to me." But his son says, "Dad, I’m late for a date. I need the car and some money. Can you lend me £100 please? I’ll talk to you tomorrow." So Benny goes back into his house, shakes his head and says, "I’ve only been a gentile for two hours and already I hate three Jews."
