Laurel Leaves

125 grams unsalted Butter
70 grams sugar
200 grams flour

Combine butter and sugar in food processor. Add all of the flour and run for about 1-2 minutes. It won't form a ball. Pour mixture onto the counter and press toghether with hands until a ball forms. Divide the dough in half. Roll one half out until very thin. (Mom/Oma always said to the thickness of the back of a butter knife.) I have good success using a floured pastry cloth to roll the dough on. Cut out into laurel leaf shape...or any small shape you like. Bake at 350-375degrees until light gold. They bake fast, so keep an eye on them. Cool on a rack. Put togethr with apricot preserves. These are so delicate and require light touch. These are my favorite christmas cookie.

About this Blog

This is a collection of family recipes that I want to pass on to Anna (and Owen, Jacob, Raisa, & Sam) some day. I also plan to make a book of some type when we have collected enough recipes.

Recipes from Eldora are typed as they were written on the cards she gave me, any notes associated with the recipes are hers.
