Baking & boys...

I'm hosting a tea party, 'Paws for Tea', in a few weeks in aid of The Blue Cross animal charity.
I've got some cookie cutters (including one that's dog shaped - naturally! *g*) but the only problem is - I don't have a recipe to use to make cookies that I can cut out! LOL  
Does anyone have a rec please? :)

And in super exciting news - the fabulously talented & just all around fabulous sgamadison  has released her latest novel!

The Boys of Summer

(Just click on the link for all the info.)

I've just bought my copy & am so looking forward to settling down for a nice, long read!

When I get home from work, I'll write down one of my recipe for you :)

Here I'm :) My recipe is a very simple one.

Linzer

Ingredients:
1/2 kg plain flour
1/4 kg margarine or butter but not salted
1/5 kg sugar
1 egg
1 baking powder (apr. 12 g)
pinch of salt
sour or clotted cream.

Knead them with the sour cream, use approx. 1-1,75 dl, but the material could be waxy (I hope it's the right term) not too hard or too malleable. Cut them out and bake them in a preheat oven (with 220 C).
I sometimes make these: Linzerkarika (http://mindmegette.hu/lapokkepek/receptgaleriak/12000/12660_linzerkarika-egyszeruen.jpg)
I glue together two pieces with jam :)
If you put the cookies in a cookie box with a slice of apple they will be perfect the next day :)

Oooh, a slice of apple helps to keep them fresh? That's a cool little trick - thanks!

I think my recipe marked as spam :) But it is not a spam it is a cookie ;)

Thank you so much! :)
