Antoinette's Holiday Potato Chip Cookies
Robin, as a guy, I also have many fond memories of making Christmas cookies with my mother and younger brothers and sisters. I have a recipie I obtained from a wonderful woman I worked for Best Foods in Totowa, NJ. Whether it was her original recipie or not, I do not know. They are fantastic and "different" from the what people expect when you give them Christmas cookies.
Heat oven to 300 degrees
1 pound (4 sticks) of butter (don't replace butter with margarine)
1 cup of sugar
3 1/4 cups of flour
2 teaspoons of vanilla (use the good stuff)
1 1/2 cups of crushed potato chips (I find the Lays Wavy Potato chips work best)
Cream the butter and the sugar well. Gradually add flour and vanilla.
Next, fold in the crushed potato chips.
Drop by teaspoonful on an ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten (a bit) with a fork.
Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until they are golden brown (I find it usually takes more time for me to cookie the cookies).
Once cooled, sprinkle with confectionary sugar.
The salt, sweet, crunch taste ofthese cookies will have all of your friends asking for the recipie.
I hope you enjoy this "unique" recipie and say, "Thanks, Antoinette, next time you see someone enjoying her recipie.

Simple Sugar Cookie Rudolph
This is easy to do with young children and they love them. They also look adorable on the cookie trays.
Buy slice and bake sugar cookies or if you have time, make your own. Slice cookies and arrange on cookie sheet. Add two chocolate chips for eyes, a cinnamon "redhot" candy for the nose on the lower portion of the cookie. Take two round pretzels rings and press 1/3 of the pretzel flat into the top of cookie to make antlers. Bake as directed.

Lithuanian "Little Ears" Cookies
Ausukai
12 egg yolks
8 tbsp. sugar
4 shots rum
3 1/2 cups sifted flour
Oil for deep frying
Confectioners' sugar
Beat egg yolks until thick and lemon in color. Add sugar, whiskey and enough flour to make a firm dough, that does not stick.
Knead dough on a sprinkling of flour until no additional flour is needed to prevent sticking.
Next, with a rolling pin proceed to beat the dough with the rolling pin. Wack it good and hard.
The dough will flatten out and elongate. When it is roughly three times the length you had started with, fold the dough into thirds onto itself and beat it some more.
Keep beating and folding the dough for approximately 15 - 20 minutes. (What you are doing with the folding and beating of the dough is creating layers of dough compressed with pockets of air. You can test for this by slicing through the dough with a sharp knife, occasionally as you go. You will see tiny bubbles develop and you will see layers of dough forming.)
Roll out the dough thinly with just a bit of flour on the rolling surface. It should be almost thin enough to see through.
Cut into diamond strips 4 inches long and 2 inches wide. Make a slit lengthwise in the middle of each strip just big enough to pass the two longer corners ends through. Or if you're like me and get lazy...cut them into diamond shapes and that's it.
Using vegetable oil, deep fry in at least 2 inches of fat at 350 degrees or a high temperature.
The pastry will quickly puff up and be ready in 15 to 30 seconds when golden. Do not allow to get brown. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.
(Use the first two or three pastries as a test. They should puff up as soon as they hit the oil. They should not be oil-heavy when done. If they don't puff right away, the oil is not hot enough.)
The rum is added to this recipe to prepare the pastries for deep frying. When the pastry is placed in the hot oil, the alcohol evaporates quickly and does not let the pastry absorb the oil. The alcohol is gone and it will leave a subtle flavor.
These pastries are so light, that they are fragile. They just melt in your mouth.
You will be pleasingly surprised at how easy these are to make and how delicious they taste!
Enjoy!

Butter Krisps
(or as my family calls them "Red & Green Cookies", this is the one cookie that I HAVE to make every year for Christmas. Even if I think I don't have time I make these. These are the ones my sister & mother and I made every year together from the time we were small to the time we went out on our own)
Double Recipe:
2 1/2 cups soft butter
2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 cups cake flour (has to be cake flour)
2 tablespoons vanilla
Red & Green food coloring
Cream butter and sugar. Add 2 cups of flour, eggs, vanilla and salt. Beat well. Add remaining flour and mix well.
Seperate into two halves. Dye one half red and one half green. As light or dark as you would like them to be.
Form dough into rolls/ropes. Wrap in waxed paper. Chill overnight or at least 6 hours.
Slice and bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes. Do not grease pan.
Dough gets soft quickly (all that butter) so I only take one roll out of the refrigerator at a time.
I always intend to make these in pastels for Easter. They aren't knock down pretty but my family loves them so.
