ITALIAN GRANDMA COOKIES

Steps:

• Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt in a bowl; set aside.
• In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar until well combined, about 5 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition. Add the lemon juice and flour mixture and mix until the dough just comes together.
• Fill a 16-inch piping bag fitted with a large star tip with three-quarters of the dough. Pipe 3-inch-long strips 1 inch apart on parchment-lined baking sheets (or pipe into stars if you prefer).
• Roll the remaining dough into 1 1/2-inch balls. Put some sprinkles in a bowl and roll the balls in the sprinkles to coat. Place the balls 1 inch apart on another parchment-lined baking sheet. Chill the dough for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Bake until the cookie edges are just golden brown, about 11 minutes. Allow to cool completely before decorating and enjoying.
• To decorate: Spread raspberry jam on the underside of one of the long cookies and sandwich with another long cookie. Continue with the remaining long cookies and jam.
• Microwave the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second increments, stirring between each, until melted.
• Dip the sandwiched cookies first in the chocolate, then in the sprinkles. Set the cookies aside on parchment until the chocolate is set, about 5 minutes. The cookies will keep for a few weeks packed in an airtight container.

GRANDMA MABEL'S COCONUT WASHBOARD COOKIES

Steps:

• Mix together well the first 4 ingredients in a large bowl. Set aside.
• In a very large bowl: Use an electric mixer on medium high speed to cream together the next 3 ingredients. Add the eggs and mix well.
• Add the vanilla to the coconut milk. Stir in alternating the flour mixture and the coconut milk mixture. Stir in the coconut.
• Make "logs" of dough in desired shape (round or rectangle). Wrap in wax paper and put in refrigerator for 3 hours.
• preheat oven to 375 degrees
• Using a sharp knife, slice the dough logs across to form 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick cookies. Place each cookie on parchment lined baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Use the tines of a fork that has been dipped in flour to make "lines" in the cookie. When tray is full, bake for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool completely on wire racks before storing in an airtight container.
• *** Another method of forming the cookies is pinching off about a Tablespoon of dough, form it into a little log, flatten the log with tines of a fork. **** Another method is to not refrigerate the dough, and use a cookie press. The disk has a long slit that is flat on one side and bumpy on the other side of the slit... the bumpy side points up. *********** depending on the coconut milk you use... you may want to use a bit less or add a bit more flour.
