How To make Fig Star Cookies
1 c Shortening
(part butter or margarine 1/2 c Granulated sugar
3/4 c Corn syrup
1/4 ts Maple flavoring
2 Eggs; beaten
4 1/2 c All-purpose flour; sifted
1 ts Baking powder
1/2 ts Salt
Fig filling: 1 1/2 c Dried figs
1 c Cold water
1/2 c Corn syrup
1 ts Lemon rind; grated
6 tb Granulated sugar
Few grains salt 1 tb Lemon juice
1/2 c Chopped nuts
Recipe by: Mary M McBride's Encyclopedia of Cooking Cream the shortening and sugar; beat in the corn syrup, maple flavoring and eggs. Sift together the flour and salt; stir into the shortening mixture. Shape the dough into two rolls about 2 1/2-inches in diameter. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for several hours. For the filling, cover the figs with boiling water and let stand for 10 minutes; drain, clip off the stems and cut fairly fine with scissors. Add the cold water and cook for about 10 minutes until tender. Add the corn syrup and lemon rind; cook for a few minutes longer. Mix the sugar, flour and salt; add all at once and cook, stirring, until thickened and clear. Remove from heat; add the lemon juice and nuts. Cool. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut the rolls of dough into thin slices. For star cookies, put a small spoonful of fig filling in the center of a cookie slice; then with your fingers, fold up the edges and pinch in place to make a reasonable facsimile of a star. For filled cookies, put slices together in pairs with a dot of fig filling between them; press the edges together and prick the top with a fork or mark with a knife. Bake either cookie for 8 to 10 minutes, or until delicately browned around the edges. Cool on racks. Makes about 3 dozen filled cookies or 6 dozen stars. Penny Halsey (ATBN65B). Note: To freshen the cookies, reheat them in the oven for a few minutes and serve warm. -----

St. Patrick's Day Recipe: Lucky Charms Cookies
This is a total remix! I took my childhood cereal - Lucky Charms - and turned them into a magically delicious oat-marshmallow sandwich cookie - and it's totally vegan!
For the cookies:
3/4 cup rolled oats - and run them through a blender of food processor so you get oat flour. You'll probably end up with about 2/3 cup oat flour.
Combine that with 1/2 cup all purpose flour and 1/4 cup whole wheat flour. You can do all AP flour or all whole wheat flour too.
Add 1/2 cup cane sugar and 1/4 cup brown sugar. You can do all cane sugar or all brown sugar too.
Add 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Add 4 TBSP vegan butter.
With a fork or your hands, work the butter into your dry mixture.
Add 1 TSP vanilla extract.
Add 2 TBSP of oat milk and mix through. And then add another tablespoon or two of more oat milk until a dough forms.
Chill the dough in the fridge for at least 20 minutes.
Roll dough out until it's pretty thin. I rolled the dough out between two pieces of parchment paper. This is a sandwich cookie so we want the cookie part to be thin and crispy.
I used a 2 inch round cookie cutter to make 20-24 cookies.
On half of the cookies, punch out some windows with a small cookie cutter. You don't have to do this, but this is what makes them scream Lucky Charms. I have teeeny tiny cookie cutters that are hearts, stars, moons, diamonds and clovers!
Bake in a 350 degree oven for 10-14 minutes.
Let them cool completely.
For the marshmallow center...aka vegan fondant:
Get a 10 oz. bag of vegan marshmallow. I used Dandies brand.
Divide the bag into 5 portions, each about 2 oz.
Add 2 oz. marshmallows to a big bowl, add a splash of water and then microwave for 30 seconds. Check the marshmallows and finish microwaving for 20-30 more seconds.
Add all-natural food coloring to your warm marshmallow goo. I always used Watkins brand.
Add 1/4 cup vegan powdered sugar and work that into the marshmallow.
Add another 2-4 tablespoons of powdered sugar until a dough forms.
You can use coconut oil on your hands to knead the fondant.
Repeat this process until you have a ball of green, blue, yellow, orange and pink fondants.
Store in plastic wrap.
When you're ready to roll out your fondant, you can roll it out between 2 pieces of parchment paper. Using the same 2 inch cookie cutter that you used for the cookies, punch out some fondant rounds. You should get 3 rounds from each ball.
When you're ready to assemble, add the fondant to underside of one of your cookies that does not have a window. Then place the window cookie on top of the fondant. Repeat for the rest of your cookies. I'm telling you, they turn out soooo cute!
