Kamish with Cranberries

Here is a recipe for Kamish ( like biscotti) with dried cranberries . I love it! I have so many different recipes for Kamish….my moms, my grandmother’s, Goldie’s Kamish, https://marilyndishes.com/2017/02/22/goldies-kamish/, my aunt’s, Murray’s aunt’s & the list goes on.  I used a basic recipe for kamish, left out the coconut, chocolate & almonds & added the cranberries. They turned out really well. I have to put these in the freezer & only take some out at a time otherwise I could eat them all. I hope you give them a try!

Here is the recipe

Kamish with Cranberries

Ingredients

3 eggs

1 cup  oil

1 cup sugar

1 tsp vanilla

3 cups flour

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 cup dried cranberries

Method

Preheat oven to 350f

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper

  1. In the bowl of a mixer, combine the 3 eggs, oil, sugar & vanilla & beat well until fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl often so that everything gets mixed well
  2. In a separate bowl or your measuring cup, combine the flour & baking powder. Use a whisk or fork to stir this around to incorporate the baking powder into the flour
  3. Add the flour to the egg mixture & mix well
  4. Add the cranberries. Mix briefly just to get the cranberries mixed in. You can mix this by hand if you want to
  5. Divide the dough into 2
  6. Put the dough onto the cookie sheet & form logs with the dough about 2 inches thick and as long as they need to be to get the right width. You can put both logs on one cookies sheet but make sure there is some space between them
  7. Bake at 350 for approx 25-30 minutes. Turn the oven off
  8. Take the baking sheet out of the oven & slice the logs while they are hot
  9. Separate the cut slices of kamish so that there is a bit of space between each slice & put the cookie sheet back in the hot oven. This dries out the kamish. Just leave them in there until the oven cools
  10. Store in a cool place.  They last for a long time  If you are not going to eat them soon, they can be frozen

Enjoy!

Meringue Cookies

I am co-hosting a bridal shower this weekend & one of my contributions to the menu are meringue cookies. I made 2 batches of these cookies.The first batch I used vanilla extract , the second batch I made with grated lemon peel. This recipe comes to me from my friend Sharon. I have many recipes of hers & each one is great!

Here is the recipe

Meringue Cookies

4 egg whites

1/2 cup sugar

1 tsp vanilla or 1 tbsp grated lemon peel

1 cup icing sugar, sifted

optional*** little ball candy sprinkles

Method

Preheat the oven to 300f

Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper

  1. Beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar while the mixer is going ***be careful not to let the sugar hit the moving beaters because then the sugar goes flying & can hit you the face & make a mess!!! Continue beating until thick & shiny  Beat in the vanilla or lemon peel
  2. Fold in the icing sugar in 2 additions
  3. Pipe or spoon the meringue into cookies on the prepared baking sheets
  4. Bake for 1 1/2 hours ***baking time depends on the size of the cookies… so watch them after an hour… if they are really dry on top…touch them gently..then I think you can turn off the oven & let the cookies sit in there to dry
  5. Turn off the oven & let cookies dry for a couple of hours  *** if you want your cookies soft & chewy inside take them out of the oven while they are still a bit warm

The video below is of a wonderful little kitchen gadget I have that sucks up the yolk from the white!! It is cool so I thought you might like to see how it works!
