SOETKOEKIES RECIPE
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 200°C.
- In a large bowl using electric beaters, beat the butter with sugar and eggs until light and fluffy - about 5 minutes.
- In another large bowl, sieve the flour, baking powder, spices and salt together.
- Add the butter mixture to the dry ingredients, and mix to form a soft dough.
- On a well-floured surface, roll out small batches of dough at a time, sprinkling more flour on top of the dough if necessary (the dough can be quite soft and sticky). The thickness should be about 5 mm.
- Press out circles with a cookie cutter, then arrange on a lined/greased baking tray, with at least 2 cm of space between each cookie.
- Bake for 8 - 10 minutes until pale and slightly golden (not too dark), remove from oven and cool on wire racks.
- Store in an airtight container - it keeps well for several weeks.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray two baking sheets with cooking spray. Sift the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and salt together and set aside.
- In a deep bowl, cream the butter and the dark-brown sugar together, mashing and beating them against the sides of the bowl until they are thoroughly blended. Beat in the egg, then add the flour mixture 1/2 cup at a time, stirring well after each addition. Beat in the wine and chopped almonds.
- With your hands, vigorously knead the dough in the bowl until it can be gathered into a somewhat firm, compact ball. If the dough then seems too soft, knead in up to 1/4 cup more flour, adding it a tablespoon or so at a time.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a rough circle about 1/4 inch thick. With a cookie cutter or the rim of a glass, cut it into 2-inch rounds. Arrange the rounds about 1 inch apart on the buttered baking sheets. Then gather the scraps of dough into a ball, roll it out into another circle, and cut out rounds as before.
- Press a blanched almond half lightly into the center of each Soetkoekie and brush the entire top surface of the cookie with the beaten egg white-and-water mixture.
- Bake the cookies in the middle of the oven for 15 minutes, or until they are crisp and firm to the tough. With a wide metal spatula, transfer the cookies to a rack to cool. The cookies will keep for up to two weeks in a tightly covered jar.

SOUTH AFRICAN TRADITIONAL SOETKOEKIES (SWEET COOKIES)
This is an ancient and very beloved cookie recipe in South Africa. My grandmother made these in large quantities before the December beach holidays. Remember, it's summer then, down here! There are slight variations on this recipe, as is usual with traditional recipes. There could be a Dutch influence here, sort of mixed with Malay (think Dutch Speculaas biscuits). In the old days this cookie was always made with butter and soft, rendered pork or mutton fat, but I have since found out it's not that easy for US cooks to find such fat to render. The dough should be rolled out really thinly -- about 1/6th of an inch -- to get a crispy cookie. Please note that baking time is about 7 mins. per tin of cookies, but you'll have to do it in batches, so I guesstimated the actual time you'll spend baking.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 380 deg F/180 deg Celsius.
- Grease cookie tins.
- (** The story of the fat: we can always buy raw pork or mutton fat from a butcher or supermarket butchery dept. To render, cut this fat into small cubes, put (in batches) in a heavy-bottomed pot, and leave over low heat for the fat to "melt out". Pour off the fat at frequent intervals into a container, to prevent the fat browning in the pot. Do this before you start baking, and save the fat in the fridge in a closed container).
- In a large container mix very well: the flour, brown sugar, baking soda, cream of tartar, salt and all the spices.
- Rub in the butter and Crisco or fat with your fingers and palms until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
- Whisk the eggs, add just 1/2 cup sweet wine to the eggs, then stir into the dry mixture.
- Stir this in well, and if still too dry to form a dough, add more of the sweet wine to form a fairly stiff dough.
- The dough is easy to handle and can be kneaded at this stage to mix well and to form a dough you can roll out.
- Roll out thinly, in batches, on a floured surface. Keep gathering up the unused dough, press together, and roll out again.
- Make sure your oven grid is in the centre of the oven, as cookies burn easily on the bottom, especially if you use dark tins.
- Press out large round cookies, carefully place on the greased tins, and bake in batches in the preheated oven.
- Check cookies after 5 minutes; don't let them burn. Cooking time depends on your oven and size of cookies, but is generally about 7 minutes.
- Remove with an egg-lifter, and let them cool and harden on wire racks. Store in airtight tins.
- The amount given below is a guess: any smaller and you will get up to 130 cookies or more. The cooking time is based roughly on the several batches you will have to cook.
- Can be made weeks before using.
- Although I give an approximately number of cookies, it will depend on your cookie cutter. A smaller cookie cutter will yield up to 130 or more cookies.

- In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugar adding the eggs in one at a time while steadily beating.
- Mix in the sifted ingredients until just blended. If the dough is too stiff, you may add a tablespoon of lukewarm water at a time until you reach the desired consistency. The dough should be more dry than wet, not sticky. If you have added too much water you may add a little flour again.
