Wooden Spoon Cookies Recipes

SPOON COOKIES

Steps:

• Make dough:
• Fill kitchen sink with about 2 inches of cold water. Melt butter in a 2- to 3-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until butter turns golden with a nutlike fragrance and flecks on bottom of pan turn a rich caramel brown, 10 to 12 minutes. (Butter will initially foam, then dissipate. A thicker foam will appear and cover the surface just before butter begins to brown; stir more frequently toward end of cooking.) Place pan in sink to stop cooking, then cool, stirring frequently, until butter starts to look opaque, about 4 minutes. Remove pan from sink and stir in sugar and vanilla.
• Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl and stir into butter mixture until a dough forms. Shape into a ball, wrap with plastic wrap, and let stand at cool room temperature 1 to 2 hours (to allow flavors to develop).
• Form and bake cookies:
• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 325°F.
• Press a piece of dough into bowl of teaspoon, flattening top, then slide out and place, flat side down, on an ungreased baking sheet. (Dough will feel crumbly, but will become cohesive when pressed.) Continue forming cookies and arranging on sheet. Bake cookies until just pale golden, 8 to 15 minutes. Cool cookies on sheet on a rack 5 minutes, then transfer cookies to rack and cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• Assemble cookies:
• While cookies cool, heat preserves in a small saucepan over low heat until just runny, then pour through a sieve into a small bowl, pressing hard on solids, and cool completely.
• Spread the flat side of a cookie with a thin layer of preserves. Sandwich with flat side of another cookie. Continue with remaining cookies and preserves, then let stand until set, about 45 minutes. Transfer cookies to an airtight container and wait 2 days before eating.

WOODEN SPOON COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour 2 large cookie sheets. In 2-quart saucepan, combine ground almonds, margarine or butter, sugar, flour, and cream. Heat over low heat, stirring occasionally, until margarine or butter melts. Keep mixture warm over very low heat.
• Drop batter by rounded teaspoons, about 3 inches apart, onto cookie sheet. (Do not place more than 6 on cookie sheet because, after baking, cookies must be shaped quickly before hardening.)
• Bake cookies 5 to 7 minutes, until edges are lightly browned and centers are just golden. Let cookies remain on cookie sheet 30 to 60 seconds, until edges are just set. With pancake turner or long, flexible metal spatula, flip cookies over quickly so lacy texture will be on outside after rolling. Working as quickly as possible, roll each cookie into a cylinder around handle of wooden spoon; remove to wire rack. If cookies become too hard to roll, return to oven briefly to soften. As each cookie is shaped, remove from spoon handle; cool on wire rack. Repeat until all batter is used.
