These cookies have a delightful citrus flavor; not overpowering or bitter, but perfectly sweet and tart. Additionally, they are made with brown sugar as opposed to white, which means you can use considerably less. They may be frosted or glazed if you so choose, but the flavor and texture is perfect on it's own. I suggest enjoying topped with raspberry jam with a glass of warm milk. :)
Dough 1/2 cup softened butter 1/2 cup brown sugar 1 tablespoon milk 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 1/2 tablespoons minced orange zest 1/4 teaspoon salt 2 cups flour 1 egg 1 teaspoon baking soda 2 tablespoons butter for brushing 1/4 cup white sugar for dusting First, pulse sugar, butter, and egg in a blender until pale and creamy. Transfer to a mixing bowl and add all other ingredients. Mix well. Chill in refrigerator for 1-2 hours. Remove and roll out on a floured surface to a thickness of 1/2 inche. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Cut out bears or other desired shape and bake for 7-9 minutes, watching closely. Remove from oven and brush with butter, then sprinkle with sugar. Serve, or let cool and store in an airtight container.

These sausages form well and hold together throughout cooking, despite being packed with ground vegetables. They are the perfect low-fat,yet very flavorful addition to your eggs and toast, and can be frozen weeks ahead of time.
Sausage 1 cup pulverized carrots 1 cup pulverized celery 2 cloves pulverized garlic 1/2 teaspoon ground fennel 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 1 tablespoon salt 1 cup minced parsley 2 cups ground lean turkey 1 tablespoon sugar 2 eggs Pulverize carrots and celery. Add to a cheesecloth, and strain out as much liquid as possible, (reserving juice for a healthy drink). Add vegetables to all other ingredients in a mixing bowl, and blend thoroughly. Form into balls or patties (with 1.5 tablespoons of mixture each). Freeze those you do not plan on cooking and eating within the next 3 days. To cook, toss in a pan over medium heat with olive oil. Cook until golden brown, 3-4 minutes on each side. Enjoy with you favorite breakfast foods, or as healthy meatballs with marinara and spaghetti. |
