FROSTED CREAMS



Frosted Creams image

As a child my mother would make these and I hated them. As a child I wanted chocolate, but now as an adult with different tastes, I love these bars. They are sweet, depending on how you frost them, but they are a great escape from chocolate. Another "grown-up" recipe!

CHOCOLATE COOKIES ( ROMANY CREAMS)



Chocolate Cookies ( Romany Creams) image

If equated, these are to South African children what Oreo Cookies are to American children, though they are not the same in taste. I never stick mine together to make 'sandwiches' but prefer to dip each cookie into melted chocolate and sprinkle on chocolate vermicilli.

Provided by Mary Louise

Categories     Cookies

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 c sugar
1 c butter
2 eggs
2/3 c molasses
3 c flour
1 tsp ginger
1/2 tsp cloves
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1 c luke warm water
1 tsp baking soda
frosting:
6 Tbsp brown sugar
6 Tbsp sweet milk or canned milk
3 Tbsp butter
3 1/2-4 c powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla

Steps:

  • 1. Cream together butter and sugar. Add eggs. Beat until light and fluffy. Add molasses. Blend in.
  • 2. Sift together flour, ginger, cloves, cinnamon and salt.
  • 3. Add baking soda to water.
  • 4. Add dry ingredients and water to egg mixture alternatively.
  • 5. Bake at 350 degrees in a jelly roll pan for 25 minutes or until cake tests done. Cool cake before frosting.
  • 6. To make frosting add brown sugar, milk and butter to a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat and add powdered sugar to thicken. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla. Frost the cake immediately while frosting is warm. Spread as you pour. Frosting sets fast and is hard to spread otherwise. I can not see why you can not frost while the cake is still warm. It might make it easier! Just a tip.
