Subject: [CnD] Victoria Day Empire Cookies
In Canada this coming weekend is known as Victoria Day long weekend at
which we celebrate our current queens birthday even though she was really
born in April. Victoria Day is from Queen Victoria of the 19th century who
was also our queen. It now is used to mark the beginning of summer in the
20th century.
Empire Cookies
3 Cups all purpose flour, sifted before measuring
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
pinch of salt
2 tablespoons custard powder
Blend above ingredients together.
½ pound butter or shortening
1 egg
3/4 cup white sugar
Cream above ingredients together.
Add blended flour to creamed ingredients.
Roll into 1/4 inch thickness and cut into round shapes. *Be careful and do
not blend extra flour into the dough if you are dusting your rolling
surface.
Place onto ungreased cookie sheet. * I use parchment paper.
Bake at 350 for 10 minutes. Let cool.
Sandwich two cookies together with thin layer of raspberry jam. *1/4 or 1/2
teaspoon depending on your cookie size. Coat top cookie with vanilla icing
sugar glaze/frosting and decorate with cherry quarter or silver ball in the
centre of the cookie.
