Preheat oven to 400° F.

Chop the butter into small cubes and combine with 1 ½ cups sugar, coconut oil/shortening, and eggs in large bowl. Use an egg beater to cream the ingredients together.

Add flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt, stirring until it forms a dough that sticks together. It may take a few minutes to mix in the chunks of butter.

In a small bowl, stir together the ¼ cup sugar and cinnamon.

Shape dough into small balls. Roll balls in cinnamon-sugar mixture. Place 2 inches apart on a cookie sheet lined with baking parchment.

Bake 8-10 minutes or until set. It is ok if they don't look completely baked. They will repose on the hot sheet and will stay soft instead of getting dry and crispy from baking longer. Place the cookie sheet on a wire rack to cool.

1 ½ cups flour ¼ cup sugar ¼ cup rolled oats ¼ cup butter 1/3 cup milk 1 egg Sliced almonds

Preheat oven to 400° F.

In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, and oats. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

In a small bowl, beat together milk and egg yolk, then stir into flour mixture.

On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to ½” thick. Cut out biscuits with a 1 ½” round cutter. Reroll the dough and cut more biscuits. At this size, the recipe should make about 18 biscuits.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place biscuits on it.

In a small bowl, beat the egg white. Brush the tops of the biscuits with egg white, and top with sliced almonds.

Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned.

3 cups almond meal 1 tsp baking powder ½ tsp salt ¼ cup butter 1 Tbsp honey or maple syrup 2 eggs

Preheat oven to 300° F.

Stir together the almond meal, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the butter as small as it will go, then stir in the honey/maple syrup and eggs, forming a soft, sticky dough.

Line a baking sheet with parchment. Form small balls with the dough, then press them into disks on the baking sheet.

Bake for 20-25 minutes until lightly golden brown.

½ cup butter ¼ cup coconut oil ½ cup raw sugar ¼ cup brown sugar 2 tsp vanilla extract 2 eggs ½ tsp baking soda ¾ tsp salt 1 tsp cinnamon 3 cups almond meal about ½ cup cinnamon sugar

Preheat oven to 350° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, or grease it.

Cut the butter into small cubes. In a medium bowl, put in the butter, coconut oil/lard, and sugars. Use a pastry cutter to mix the butter and shortening into the sugar. When it is somewhat creamy, a beater can be used to mix it to a smooth, creamy texture.

Beat in the vanilla and eggs until creamy again. Then stir in the baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.

Stir in the almond meal one cup at a time. It will create a very soft, sticky dough.

Form the dough into small balls, the volume of about 2 Tbsp. Roll the balls in the cinnamon sugar until they are completely coated. Place the balls on the baking sheet at least 2” apart, as they spread quite a bit while baking. Gently compress the top of each ball, so it is just barely flat.

Bake for 11-13 minutes, until they are golden-brown around the edges.

Makes about 20 cookies.

Variations:

Use other spices or a mixture of spices. Use other nut flours or a mixture of nut flours. I can sometimes find a mix of almond, coconut, pecan, and walnut, which is delicious.

3 egg whites 2/3 cup sugar ½ tsp vanilla extract 1/8 tsp almond extract ¼ cup corn starch 1 1/3 cup finely chopped nuts

Preheat oven to 300° F. Warm egg whites over hot water. Combine egg whites, vanilla, and almond extract, and beat until soft peaks form. Slowly pour the sugar in while beating at high speed. Beat until stiff peaks form. In another bowl, mix together corn starch and nuts. Beat into the egg whites at low speed. Drop by spoonfuls onto a greased baking sheet. They don't spread, so you can place them close together on the sheet. Bake for 30-35 minutes. Remove from pan immediately and cool on a wire rack.

2 cups sugar ½ cup milk ½ cup butter ½ cup cocoa powder ¼ tsp salt 2/3 cup peanut butter 3 cups oats 1 tsp vanilla extract

Combine sugar, milk, butter, salt, and cocoa in a pan and bring to a boil. Once it has reached a full boil, time it for 1 minute and remove from heat. Stir in peanut butter and vanilla until the peanut butter is all melted in, then add the oats. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto wax paper. Let cool until hardened (it should only be a few minutes).

1 cup corn syrup 1 cup sugar 1 cup peanut butter 6 cups Special K cereal

Put your cereal in a large bowl, and lay out a large sheet of waxed paper.

Bring corn syrup and sugar to a boil until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and mix in peanut butter.

Pour over cereal and mix well. Spoon cereal into cookies on wax paper and cool.

Substitute whatever cereal you like.

I have no idea if they are actually Canadian; that's just what they're called.

1 cup dark molasses ¼ cup packed brown sugar 1 tsp vinegar 2 1/3 cups flour 2 Tbsp fresh grated ginger root 2 tsp baking soda 1 egg ½ tsp salt

Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease cookie sheets.

In a large bowl, stir together the molasses, brown sugar, vinegar, and egg.

In another bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, ginger and salt, then add to molasses mixture. Mix until well blended.

The dough is very sticky, so keep your hands wet with water to roll the dough into little balls.

Place balls on cookie sheets, about 2 inches apart. They spread a lot while baking. Bake until edges are golden, about 8-11 minutes. They should be kind of gooey still but noticeably cooked. Let cool on pans for 5 minutes before removing, they use this time to set/finish cooking.

½ cup sugar ½ cup maple syrup or corn syrup ½ cup butter ½ Tbsp vinegar 1 egg 1 tsp ground black pepper ½ tsp ground allspice ½ tsp ground ginger ½ tsp ground nutmeg ½ tsp baking soda 2 ½ cups flour

Cook the sugar, maple/corn syrup, butter and vinegar in a pot over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the butter is melted and it boils. Pour into a bowl and chill down to room temperature. Beat in all the other ingredients. It will make a smooth paste.

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and freeze for 20 minutes or chill longer. It rolls out much easier when it is hard/cold.

Preheat oven to 350° F, and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

On a floured surface, roll the dough to about ¼” thick, then cut out shapes. Place them in the baking sheet with about 1” in between, because they do expand a little.

Bake for 7 minutes. (If they are thicker, or the pan is too crowded, they will require a few more minutes.) They should be slightly golden brown around the edges and look puffed up. Let them repose on the baking sheet until they are relaxed and more cool, then transfer cookies to a cooling rack. They should be thin and hard enough to snap, but slightly chewy when eating.

Makes about 36 cookies.
