OT - Frustrated Mom needs some advice! (Kinda Long)

my two cents...

she was passed around from pillar to post so often she'd be totally confuddled about where she comes from in the first place. 'we cant know where we're going til we know where we've come from.' this can also be an issue with adopted kids at some point in their life. does she have any pix of her mom and her when she was a baby? has she talked at all about her mom? her babyhood? anyone else in that part of her family? or those who looked after her thru all this upheaval? is there any possibility of abuse of 'any kind' during her time in transit?

you've got a long road ahead of you and i do hope you can figure out what is going on with her so you can help her along lifes journey. hugz to both of you, jeanne

Cinnamon Chocolate Dips from _The Big Chocolate Cookbook_ by Gertrude Parke

1 cup butter (accept no substitutions!) 3/4 cup sugar 1 egg 1 teaspoon vanilla 2 1/2 cups sifted flour 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon salt melted semisweet chocolate ground walnuts (slivered almonds work here too)

Cream butter and sugar, add egg and beat well. Stir in vanilla. Sift flour, cinnamon and salt, together. Gradually beat into butter mixture. Put the zaggy line disc into the cookie press (or whatever equivilent you have to the zaggy line disc, you will need to make rectangles that are about 1"x2"), and fill the press with dough. Press about 2 inch strips out onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 375F for 12-15 minutes. remove to cooling rack immediately. When cool, dip about half of each cookie into the melted choolate, and then dip into the chopped nuts.

Makes around 4 dozen

These are of that variety of cookie that mysteriously vanishes shortly after you make them.

I love pressed cookies because they are so easy and fast.

I got mine for my birthday/Christmas prezzie - it's a good stainless steel one in a high quality hard plastic storage box :-D

sadly it wouldn't do mashed potatoes nicely so I have to stay with the cotton bag for that.

_Ages_ ago.

In pre-cookie press times people used pastry bags for this kind of cookie. Some of the old people around here call a cookie press a spritzer. I confess, when I make spritz anymore I get lazy and use a press instead of makeing circles with a pastry bag. The pastry bag circles are claimed to be the one and only true spritz by some diehards.
