Filled Beehive Cookies Recipes

FILLED BEEHIVE COOKIES

Steps:

• Filling: Combine all filling ingredients together in a bowl and mix well. Set aside.
• Cookie Dough: Sift together flour and salt, then cut in butter.
• Stir in powdered sugar and lemon rind.
• Add egg, vanilla & light cream, then mix until dough is smooth.
• Form into a ball. Roll out 1/4 of dough on floured pastry cloth to 1/8 inch thick. Cut into rounds with 1 1/2" cutter.
• Place rounds on a greased baking sheet (or line with parchment) and top each with 1 Tblsp of apple filling (keep in a mound).
• Roll remaining dough with your hands on a cloth into pencil like strips 8 inches long and 1/2 inch thick. Wind one strip in a spiral fashion around the filling of each cookie, beginning at the base and gradually close at the top.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.

BEEHIVES

Steps:

• Set oven to moderate 180°C (350°F).
• Grease a baking (cookie) sheet.
• Break egg into a small mixing bowl and beat until it is thick and pale lemon coloured and the beaters leave a 'trail' through the mixture.
• Gradually add the sugar, beating well after each addition.
• Fold in the coconut.
• Now, spoon some of the mixture into an egg cup (or a glass of a similar shape and size).
• DO *NOT* PRESS DOWN FIRMLY - merely tap very lightly with one finger just to smooth it off.
• Then, turn the egg cup upside down over the baking sheet and, holding it very slightly above the surface, tap the side sharply with a knife to release the mixture onto the sheet.
• Repeat.
• Bake on the centre shelf of a pre-heated 180°C (350°F) oven for 15-20 minutes or until beehives are golden brown.
• Remove from oven when cooked and gently use a knife to loosen the beehives from the baking sheet.
• Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
• When cool, store in an airtight biscuit (cookie) tin.
