Hi Dave,


 RH> I've got some cookie cutters that belonged to my paternal grandmother,
 RH> a biscuit cutter that belonged to my maternal grandmother. The latter
 RH> gets used quite often; it's got a removeable piece so doughnuts can be
 RH> cut with the proper hole in the middle.

 DD> That sent me to the "possibles" drawer. Mine also has a center piece
 DD> that can be removed using a Philips-head screwdriver. Do you cook the
 DD> holes or do you re-roll and re-cut for more crullers?

Depends, sometimes we'll fry up the holes, sometimes we re-roll & cut
them. My mincemeat cookie recipe calls for a solid base, then the
filling, topped with a cookie with the center cut out. Doughnut cutter
works well there; the "holes" get re-rolled and re-cut.


 RH> I used to make those quite often, especially around Christmas and turn
 RH> the girls loose with decorating stuff. Got some interesting decorated
 RH> cookies that way. (G)

 DD> I haven't made them for a few years. Oddly enough my friend Les asked
 DD> at Sunday breakfast if I'd be doing them this year. For him, sure
 DD> thing. And possibly for the dessert table at Temple B'rith Shalom's
 DD> annual interfaith Christmas Breakfast. Can't do these at the Temple
 DD> but, at home .....

 RH> Your reputation has gotten out!

 DD>       Title: Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies
 DD>  Categories: Cookies, Chocolate, Pork, Nuts
 DD>       Yield: 12 Servings

 RH> Looks good to me, but for sure, not kosher. (G)

 DD> Les' new(ish) wife is *very* Kosher. He's not allowed to make his
 DD> prize winning chilli in *her* kitchen but has to use the set-up in the
 DD> cellar. He told me that he may move his chilli kitchen to the garage
 DD> as at 86
 DD> he can no longer manage the stairs whilst carrying a chilli pot. Not
 DD> in the sizes that he favours, at least.

We'd have to do it outside, on a grill as we've no garage. I usually
don't make big batches any more; the 6 qt crock pot or a 5 qt stock pot
(sold a a chili pot) is usually as large as I use.


 DD> These are (can be) habit forming .......

I can imagine so! My mom used to make a version of these in the fall for
an occaisional Saturday lunch. They were good, but never made often
enough. (G) Served with a drizzle of maple syrup.
