DONNA SKOVLUND'S DUCK FAT SUGAR COOKIES

Steps:

• In a large bowl with an electric mixer cream the duck fat and the butter toegther with 1/12 cups of the sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy and beat in the eggs, milk, and vanilla. Into another bowl sift together the flour, backing powder, and salt, add the flour mixture to the duck fat mixture with the raisins, and stir the mixture until it forms adough. Roll rounded teaspoons of the dough into balls, arrange the balls 3 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets, and flatten them with the bottom of a glass diffed in sugar. The edges will crack slightly. Sprinkle the cookies with sugar and bake in the middle of a preheated 350 degree oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until they are pale golden. Transfer the cookies to racks to cool.

SUGAR COOKIES

Steps:

• Beat the butter and sugar with an electric whisk for 4 mins until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then add the vanilla. Whisk in the cornflour and plain flour until the mixture comes together into a dough. Put the dough between two pieces of baking parchment, and roll out to a 6mm thickness using a rolling pin. Chill for 30 mins.
• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Peel the top layer of parchment off the dough and stamp out circles using a 6cm round cutter (or the shape of your choice). Re-roll any offcuts and continue stamping out rounds until all the dough is used. Transfer the cookies to a second large baking sheet lined with baking parchment, spacing them 2cm apart (you may need two sheets). Bake for 7-10 mins. Leave to cool on the sheet for 15 mins, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Will keep in an airtight container for one week.

FAT FREE SUGAR COOKIES THAT WORK!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F.
• combine the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt in a large bowl. mix throughly with a fork, slightly fluffing the flour to create mild pockets of air in the mixture.
• Add Splenda and mix again.
• Add buttermilk (1 tbs at a time), fat free plain yogurt, vanilla and butter flavoring. SOFTLY AND GENTLY mix with a spoon and incorporating all the ingredients together until everything is mixed.
• bake for about 15-20 minutes until the bottoms are browned (but not burnt) and they look done. (I have a convection oven so times may vary).
• Note: DO NOT OVER MIX, however do not undermix. I do not know the outcome that this may have, but I have a feeling that it isn't very good!
