A few weeks ago someone was looking for a recipe for cookies that can
be rolled and cut with cookie cutters. This recipe came from Carla
(cbmcam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx) on this list. All comments below are hers.

Here is a recipe I used to make Chanukah cookies and it worked very
well. I used egg substitute (I was braver than the original poster
...LOL) and didn't really have any trouble because of it. I seem to
remember having to work in a little extra flour because the dough was
sticky, but I may be mistaken. In any event, they had a nice flavor
and didn't last very long. They might be good with a teaspoon of
extract added as well... maybe cherry or mint. The cookies are dark in
color.

I made these last night and they were very good. Next time I make it,
I am going to substitute the eggs with egg substitute. I was too
wimpy to try substituting the eggs AND the butter. The prune butter
worked great. Happy Hannukah!!!

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/4 cup prune butter -- * see note
1 cup sugar
2 eggs (I used egg substitute)
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cocoa
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
confectioner's sugar
In a large bowl, beat prune butter, sugar and eggs on medium speed of
electric mixer. Stir together flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking
soda and salt; add to butter mixture, beating until well blended.
Cover; refrigerate dough until firm enough to handle.
Preheat oven to 350 F. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to
1/8-inch thickness; cut with star-shapped cookie cutter (can use
menorah, dreidel and others). Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake
5 to 7 minute, or until no imprint remains when touched lightly in the
center. Cool 1 minute; remove cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool
completely. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar. Makes about 4 dozen
cookies.
