Clothespin Cookie dough
 
 
Recipe type: cookie
Serves: 3-4 dozen
Ingredients
  • 3½ cups flour
  • 2 tbsp. sugar
  • ½ c. Crisco
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1½ cups warm water
Instructions
  1. Mix first four ingredients like a pie dough.
  2. Add in your egg/water mixture and mix into a soft dough.
  3. Chill 1-2 hours. Don't skip this step!
  4. Divide dough in half and roll out thin.
  5. Add a thin layer of crisco to the rolled dough. Fold over, add another layer, and once more.
  6. Chill 30 minutes.
  7. Preheat oven 350ºF.
  8. Roll dough out to about ⅛in. thick. It will appear cracked as you roll.
  9. Cut dough into 1in x 5in. strips. You can eyeball this and be just fine. The wider or longer your strips, the longer or larger your cookie.
  10. Roll on to your rods overlapping as you go. Secure the end with a dab of water.
  11. Place on parchment lined cookie sheets.
  12. Bake 12-15 minutes, or until tops are just slightly golden. Cookies will bake faster as your rods heat after the first batch.
  13. Let sit a few minutes so you don't burn your hands off, then slide off the rods.
  14. Once cooled, fill with frosting by pastry bag or ziplock.
  15. Dust with powdered sugar.
  16. Store in airtight container in refrigerator or freeze.
