PILLOWCASE COOKIES
These soft, slightly sweet sugar cookies have the flake and softness of a scone or a biscuit. They're just the right level of sweetness without being overkill. According to Alzina Toups, a chef who specializes in Cajun cuisine, before heading back to the oyster reef during the long cold winters, oystermen from Lafourche Parish would take pillowcases full of these sweet cookies to remind them of home. They were meant to survive the cold and the moisture on the reefs so the texture is a cross between a sugar cookie and hard tack. Store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 1 week.

Steps:
- Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl until combined. Grate in cold butter; stir mixture together until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in beaten egg and yolk, milk, and vanilla until mixture begins to come together.
- Transfer to a lightly floured work surface and knead until dough comes together, 3 to 5 kneads. Shape into a disk, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C); position an oven rack in the middle of the oven. Line 2 large, rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Roll dough on a heavily floured surface to a thickness of 3/8 inch. Cut cookies with a 2 1/2-inch circle cutter, rerolling scraps as needed.
- Transfer to the prepared baking sheets, 1 inch apart. Freeze, uncovered, for 15 minutes.
- Bake one tray at a time in the preheated oven until edges are golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool on the pan, for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely, about 15 minutes. Repeat with remaining tray.

PILLOW COOKIES
I found this in my collection of cookies that I have made in the past for Christmas. I am not sure where the original recipe came from. On the recipe I wrote, "made in '93 - VERY Good!" They are a little labor intensive & I think that is why I don't make them every year. I think I will be making them this year. NOTE: Prep time does not include "resting time" overnight in the refrigerator. NOTE: Estimated yield (can't recall).

ANDES SURPRISE PILLOW COOKIES
This recipe came on a coupon for Andes Mints, the surprise is what a pain in the butt they are to make. I am putting up some alterations to the preparation to make the surprise part of this cookie more pleasant. The resulting cookies were, however, worth the pain.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine sugar, butter*, egg and vanilla. Use an electric mixer to beat until light and fluffy.
- Add flour, baking powder and salt. beat until a soft dough forms.
- Divide dough in half. On a well-floured surface, roll half of the dough into a 14 x 9 inch rectangle.
- Arrange the mints evenly on dough, forming 7 rows of 7. (I only managed 6 rows of 7). Leave enough room between the mints for your index finger to fit. Press the mints into the dough slightly, this will help keep them still when the top layer of dough is applied.
- Between 2 sheets of waxed paper, roll the remaining dough into a second 14 x 9 inch rectangle. I recommend taping the bottom piece to the counter, or the sliding around will make you nuts.
- Remove the top sheet of wax paper, you can save it to cool the finished cookies on or discard it.
- The recipe says to: Carefully turn second rectangle over mint-topped dough, matching edges. (I found this impossible, the dough slides off the waxed paper before you are positioned and attempting to lift it only results in tearing the dough and moving your mints all hither and yon.)
- I recommend instead: Gently roll the second layer up loosely. Position two edges and slowly unroll over the mint covered dough.
- Remove remaining waxed paper.
- Using a pizza cutter or a scalloped-edge pastry wheel, cut dought evenly between mints.
- Gently press edges of pillows to seal.
- Place pillows on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 7-10 minutes or until edges are light brown.
- Cool completely before storing.
- *sometimes I use 1 cup of butter flavored shortening + 3-4 tablespoons water instead of butter.

Family and friends can't resist buttery cookies with a soft almond center. The confectioners' sugar on top looks like a dusting of snow. -Laura McDowell, Lake Villa, Illinois
