POOR MAN'S COOKIES



Poor Man's Cookies image

In the 1930s, producers of a popular radio program called Jake and Lena invited listeners to write in for this recipe. My mother changed the name from Jake and Lena Cookies to Poor Man's Cookies because they contained no eggs, milk or nuts. Despite the name, the cookies are rich in taste!

POOR MAN'S COOKIES



Poor Man's Cookies image

These poor man's cookies are an old family recipe - spiced bar cookies with plump raisins and chopped walnuts.

Provided by Michelle

Categories     Snack

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 15

2¼ cups water
1½ cups raisins
8 tablespoons vegetable shortening
3 cups all-purpose flour
1½ cups sugar
1½ teaspoons baking soda
¾ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon nutmeg
½ teaspoon cloves
2 eggs (slightly beaten)
½ cup coarsely chopped walnuts
1 cup powdered sugar
3 tablespoons warm water

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 9x13 baking pan.
  • Combine water, raisins, and shortening in a medium saucepan. Boil over medium heat, covered, for 20 minutes. Remove from heat, remove the lid, and let cool for 10 minutes.
  • While the raisin mixture is boiling, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves in a large bowl.
  • Pour the slightly cooled raisin mixture over the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon until mostly combined and moistened (the batter at this point will have the consistency of a paste). Add the beaten eggs and again stir with a spoon, until thoroughly combined. Stir in the chopped walnuts.
  • Spread the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until deeply browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean with some moist crumbs attached.
  • While the cookies are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and warm water in a small bowl. As soon as you take the pan out of the oven, drizzle the glaze over the cookies and quickly spread into an even layer.
  • Cool to room temperature before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.

FATTIGMAN COOKIES



Fattigman Cookies image

Fattigman is a favorite sweet in Norwegian and Swedish households. Here's how to make the fried sugary goodness.

Provided by Kari Diehl

Categories     Brunch     Dessert     Snack

Time 1h5m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 eggs
1/4 cup superfine baker's sugar
Optional: 1 tablespoon cognac or brandy
3 tablespoons butter (melted)
1/3 cup heavy cream ( whipped into stiff peaks)
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon cardamom (freshly ground)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
For frying: 6 cups vegetable or canola oil
Garnish: vanilla sugar or powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Cream together eggs, sugar, and brandy, if using.
  • Stir in melted butter.
  • Gently fold whipped cream into batter.
  • Sift together flour, cardamom, baking powder, and salt.
  • With a light hand, mix dry ingredients into batter to form a soft dough. You want to avoid handling dough too much. Otherwise, cookies will end up tough.
  • Chill dough, covered, for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
  • Roll chilled dough out on a floured board to a thickness of 1/8 inch.
  • Using a fattigman cutter or a pastry cutter, cut dough into diamond shapes about 1 1/4-inch wide by 3 1/2 inches long. If you're using a pastry cutter, cut dough first into 1 1/4-inch strips and then cut across these diagonally to form diamonds.
  • Use a knife to cut a 1/2-inch slash in the middle of each diamond.
  • Twist one corner of each diamond up through center slash to make a knot.
  • Heat 2 inches of oil in the bottom of a heavy pot to 375 F.
  • Drop in pastry knots and fry until golden brown, turning occasionally.
  • Remove and drain on paper towels.
  • Sprinkle cookies with vanilla sugar or confectioners' sugar and serve immediately.
