Tortilla Cookies Recipes

TORTILLA COOKIE CRISPS

Steps:

• In mixing bowl, add the first six ingredients. Beat on low speed about 2 minutes, then medium speed until blended.
• In another mixing bowl, add flour, soda and walnuts. Mix well.
• Add flour mixture to sugar egg mixture in two portions. Mix after each addition.
• Take out beaters.
• Add crushed tortillas two cups at a time. Mix with spoon. Then add two more cups, mix.
• Make sure that the tortillas are crushed very fine. I have rough crushed and fine crushed and the latter works the best.
• The last two cups mix in, the "dough" will be a little stiff. But mix well.
• Preheat oven 375°F.
• Take heaping tablespoon and drop on ungreased cookie sheets.
• Note: I used a little over a 1/3 cup of evaporated milk this time and it seemed that the cookie dough was creamier.
• Bake 10 minutes light and soft and chewy.
• Bake 12 minutes brown and crispy and chewy.
• Let set 5 minutes then take off of sheets.
• I like to put the cookies on the upper top racks of the oven. It seems to cook evenly.
• Note:.
• Do not use black sheets. Bottoms get too done and tops not cooked enough.
• Servings based on 3 large cookies per person.
• Cooking time is for two sheets at a time.
• Note: You may add cinnamon instead of Chinese Five Spice. Do not use both.
• Note: You may use 1 1/2 tsp powdered anise with the addition of the rum and add a little more brown sugar.

CHOCOLATE TORTILLA CHIPS-HOMEMADE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 400^. Whisk together the flour,salt,baking powder,cocoa and sugar in a bowl; to blend together. Add remaining ingredients and mix together with a wooden spoon; until the dough forms into a ball.
• 2. Place the ball on a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes- adding flour until the dough in no longer sticky.
• 3. Cut dough ball into 4 equal parts then cut those pieces in half so that you have 8 pieces.( I doubles the recipe so I have 16 pieces, as shown instead of the 8).
• 4. Form these pieces into balls; let rest 6 minutes. Roll each ball into a circle as this as you can about 1/8 of an inch is good. Heat a heavy skillet over medium heat.DO NOT add any oil or spray to pan it must be a dry surface. (If you can cook them over open gas flame and turn over and over until done do not burn.About 30 seconds on each side.
• 5. If you want soft tortillas they are done. Store in refrigerator when cooled, in a ziploc baggie. For crispy chips like in the photo. Cut each tortilla into 8 equal pieces with a pizza wheel or sharp knife. Place on a cookie sheet in a single layer and bake for 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Remove and cool slightly and sprinkle with powdered sugar, if desired. Enjoy.

TORTILLA SNOWFLAKE COOKIES OR DECORATIONS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 F.
• Set out baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
• Take one tortilla at a time and place between 2 slightly damp paper towels.
• Place in the microwave on HIGH for about 20 seconds, just to soften.
• Fold tortilla in half, then fold in half again- it should now be a triangle.
• Using small very sharp scissors, cut out holes like you would for a paper snowflake- but don't cut on the fold lines or it will fall apart.
• Unfold and it will have a pretty design.
• Set unfolded snowflake onto the baking sheet and process with the next tortilla, until all are cut.
• Brush each side lightly with butter(you may not need it all), bake 5 minutes, then flip over and bake another 3-5 minutes until golden and crisp.
• While these are baking, set out a sheet of wax paper on your counter, then top with a wire rack.
• Have a sifter ready to fill with the powdered sugar.
• As soon as the tortillas come out of the oven, set them on the wire rack and dust with the powdered sugar to coat.
• Let cool completely, then dust again right before serving.
• If you like, you can tie a ribbon through one of the holes to hang these decoratively.
