MAGI'S TURBANS

Steps:

• Beat butter, brown sugar, soda, and spices with electric mixer on medium speed, until well blended and paler in color.
• Beat in molasses and egg (the mixture will look curdled).
• Gradually beat in flour on low speed, until just blended.
• Cover and chill for 1 hour, or until firm enough to handle.
• Put granulated sugar in small bowl; roll dough into balls by tablespoons, and roll in sugar.
• Place 1 ½ inches apart on ungreased baking sheets and bake 10-12 minutes at 350, until tops crack but cookies are still soft to touch.
• Place baking sheet on wire rack. Immediately press chocolate kiss into the center of each cookie.
• Transfer cookies from baking sheet to rack to cool completely; store in airtight container for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for up to 3 months.

SAUSAGE-STUFFED TURBAN SQUASH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease foil.
• Cut the top off the squash using a serrated knife and scoop out seeds. Lightly salt the inside of squash. Place squash, cut-side down, onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until tender, about 1 hour.
• Cook and stir sausage, celery, mushrooms, and onion in a skillet over medium heat until sausage is browned and vegetables are tender, 10 to 15 minutes; drain excess grease.
• Combine sour cream, Parmesan cheese, egg, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a bowl. Stir sausage mixture into sour cream mixture.
• Scoop the meat from the inside of squash, being careful not to tear the skin. Mash squash meat in a bowl.
• Spoon some of the sausage mixture into the hollowed squash, making a ring. Spoon a ring of mashed squash over sausage mixture. Continue layering until all the sausage mixture and mashed squash are used.
• Bake in the oven until heated through, 20 to 25 minutes.
