AUNT LISL'S BUTTER COOKIES
When I was a little girl, my aunt Lisl always made butter cookies at Hanukkah time. We decorated them. The cookies were stored in her garage in airtight containers. Sometimes we got to take some of them home. Other times, we just nibbled on them at her house. One of the best things about cooking with relatives is that it's a great time to ask for family stories. While we baked, Aunt Lisl told wonderful tales of my father's boyhood in Germany.

Steps:
- Child: In a bowl, cream the butter and sugar. Then mix in the eggs, brandy, salt, vanilla, and flour. Let rest for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
- Adult with Child: Roll out the dough to 1/8-inch thick. Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Child: You can either use cookie cutters or use the point of a toothpick like a knife to cut out cookies in any shapes you want. Let your imagination run free; how about dreidels, Stars of David, candles with flames attached, the four Hebrew letters on the dreidel?
- Once you have cut out the cookies, gently place them on the baking sheet. Then either brush them with egg yolk and sprinkle with nuts and raisins or brush with egg white and sprinkle with blue sugar.
- Adult: Bake for about 10 minutes, or until golden brown. Use a metal spatula to gently remove each cookie from the baking sheet to a cooling rack or flat plate.
AUNT EILEEN'S CHRISTMAS BUTTER COOKIES
Steps:
- In a large bowl cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, using a hand beater. Beat in the egg and then the vanilla. In a separate bowl, combine the flour and salt. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just incorporated. Roll the dough into a log, on a work surface, wrap in parchment and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. Put 2 cookie sheets in the refrigerator to chill as well.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Remove the chilled dough from the refrigerator and slice into 1/4-inch rounds. Arrange 2 inches apart on the chilled cookie sheets and bake until lightly golden on the edges, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the cookies from the cookie sheets and put on a cooling rack to cool before serving.

- Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until lightly browned. Remove from baking sheets to cool on wire racks.
- To make the frosting, combine 1 1/2 cups sugar, vinegar, water and marshmallows. Mix well and place over a pot of simmering water. when the marshmallows have melted, stir in the egg whites.

AUNT NELDA'S SUGAR COOKIES
This is my great aunt's famous sugar cookie recipe! They're her signature, and she brings them to every family gathering. I know there are a ton of other sugar cookie recipes on Zaar, but I didn't see any quite like this. They're scrumptious! She told me she got them from The Good Housekeeping Cookbook, Hearst Magazines, 1949. The prep time does not include time to chill overnight, and the serving size is an estimate!

CLASSIC AUNT SALLY (OR SALLY ANN) COOKIES
These are wonderful not-too-sweet gingerbread-like cookies. The icing sets up like royal, except it is soft inside the hardened shell. They freeze great, and are terrific for gift-giving, as they package beautifully. I make them for Halloween in the shape of bats and covered with orange sprinkles and for thanksgiving as leaves with no sprinkles.

Steps:
- Cream shortening and sugar, add molasses and eggs and buttermilk.
- Mix dry ingredients thoroughly, then add to creamed mixture.
- Refrigerate for an hour or so, until slightly firm.
- Roll out at about 1/4" (thicker for more cakelike cookies, thinner for crispier ones - they're good both ways).
- Cut out (traditionally with a SPAM can, but to each her own).
- Bake at 325 for about 12-15 minutes.
- When cookies are cool, whip up the icing.
- In saucepan, dissolve gelatin in cold water.
- Bring to a boil and simmer for about 10 minutes.
- While simmering, add 3 C powdered sugar to a large straight-sided bowl and measure in soda. Stir.
- Pour hot liquid into sugar mixture and whisk. Add vanilla. Lumps are not good.
- If 3 C of powdered sugar is enough to produce a almost-set pudding-like icing, it is read. If it seems thin, add another cup and whisk inches.
- Take cooled cookies and dip the tops into the icing, wiping off excess on side of bowl.
- Set on wax paper until icing is hard.

AUNT IONE'S ICEBOX COOKIES
Whenever we went to visit my Aunt Ione in south Georgia, her icebox cookies were our favorite treat. My mother later make these cookies, and I remember begging for a slice of the raw dough-I thought the unbaked cookies tasted just as great as the baked! -Jenny Hill, Meridianville, Alabama
