The kids and I are in Baltimore for most of Pesach, which means that I get to raid my mother’s recipe box. You know, the kind that’s jammed packed with stained 3 x 5 cards and newspaper clippings, all bearing the secrets to the foods of my childhood.
Since there’s still time, and you probably have cake meal to spare, try these unnamed jelly-matzoh-thumbprint cookies, which I loved as a kid, and still think are pretty good (for Passover, that is.)
2 eggs
3/4 c. sugar
1 c. cake meal
2 T potato starch
1/2 c. shortening (I used butter, can’t stand Passover margarine…)
jelly
mix ingredients together. form dough into balls ~1.5 inches diameter. roll in white sugar. press a thumb sized hole into the middle of each cookie and fill with jelly. bake at 375 (preferably on parchment) until done (10-15 minutes?)

Funny…that’s where I live!
Will try your cookies tomorrow.

Those look so yummy. I havemade two different brownie recipes this year I yum!!! Maybe I have time to try these too…..

Can’t wait to tell my grandchildren about your homeshuling website. It’s wonderful! The passover cookies look yummy. I think Ethan and Andrew would love making them for Passover.It sounds like all the grandsons are coming to Auntie Sara’s for the first seder in Sommerville. This way Jonah (20months) can be put to bed when he needs to be in his own crib. We(Bubbe and Zady) had our first Skype meeting with baby Ari Eli in Lincoln,NH this morning!!!!!!!
