SWKKT DOUGH FOR CHRISTMAS BREADS
From HUM)! NK TITUS
Morrow Co. Extension Service
This is the sweet dough that I have used for years to make a
wide variety of gift products, as well as just good old
fashioned cinnamon rolls for my family. Although there are
many faster recipes around, this one never fails me, so I
continue to use it. It may be shaped Into braids, rolls, or
many other shapes.
Mix together: 2 cups milk (lukewarm), Mi cup sugar, ands 2
t.sp, salt.
Add: 2 pkgs. yeast (2 tablespoons), 4 cup shortening ( or
margarine ), 2 eggs, and 7 to 8 cups flour.
Add about 3 cups flour to first 6 ingredients and beat with
mixer. Continue to add flour until too stiff to beat, adding
enough flour to make it easy to handle. Knead. Set to rise
until doubled. Punch down, let rise again. Mace enough
dough on board and cut in two; let it rest for about 10
minutes. Shape.
For cinnamon rolls: roll one half of the dough to
approximately 6 Inch thickness. Spread with brown sugar,
raisins, cinnamon and melted butter. Roll (as for jelly roll)
andslice about 1 4 inches thick. Place on greased pan and let
rise again until doubled in size. Bake at 375 degrees until
browned (about 20 minutes). Remove from oven and glaze
while still warm so glaze melts.
For Christmas Stollen: knead raisins and candied fruits
into dough after second rising. Roll dough into oblong shape.
On one half, spread with butter and cinnamon. Fold one half
over. Press with heel of hand on folded edge. Let rise. Bake
37S degrees. After bread has cooled, frost with glaze and
decor at t with sliced almonds, candied cherries. Makes 2
large loaves.
Glaze: ' cup butter or margarine, 2 tsp. vanilla, hot coffee
and powdered sugar.
Place butter and vanilla in bowl, pour in hot coffee to melt
butter. Add powdered sugar to m ake about the consistency of
cake frosting. Spread glaze on cinnamon rolls while they are
hot so it will melt, may sprinkle with chopped nuts while
glaze is still warm.

Candy Cane and Ting-A-Ling cookies
CANDY CANE AND TIN G-A-LINfi COOKIES
From Theta Lowe
Former 4-H Leader
When I was ha ving 4-H cooking classes, at this time of year
we spent a couple of meetings making, baking and
decorating Christmas cookies. These candy cane cookies
werea favorite. Everyone wanted to try them - they caused a
bit of confusion for the very youngest members but it was
always amazing how much they had improved by another
year. With the rolling and twisting of the dough they are a
great fun cookie and look attractive on a cookie tray.
The other cookie was always called Ting-a4ing because it
was supposed to look like a bell, and I thought it did until a
year or so ago I went to Pendleton with the Extension group
to do a Christmas Foods and Crafts Exhibit. When I showed
the cookies and called them a bell so many of the people
(Pendletonians) saidno-it'sa baby in a blanket. Now I don't
know what to call them. It depends on how you look at them.
CANDY CANE COOKIES
1 cup soft shortening (half butter)
1 cup sifted confectioners sugar
I egg
'i tsp. almond flavoring
1 Lsp. vanilla
2'i cups sifted flour
i tsp. red food coloring
Combine shortening, cup of sugar, egg, almond and vanilla
flavoring mix thoroughly. Stir in sifted dry ingredients.
Divide dough in half and blend red food coloring into one
half.
For each cookie roll 1 t.sp. of each dolor dough into 4-in.
strips. Place strips side by side, press lightly together and
twist. Place on ungreased baking sheet. Curve tops down to
form handles of canes.
Bake in quick over, 350 degrees for about nine minutes.
May be decorated with crushed peppermint candy and
sugar.
Makes 40 cookies.
Ting-A-Ling Cookies
Use any good recipe for rolled cookies. Use a three-inch
round cutter.
Put half a maraschino cherry on one edge and fold each
side over and pinch the edges to shape into a bell shape or
