So I attempted to make my mother-in-law's recipe for roskette. I prepped my ingredients. Then I remembered that she mixes everything using her hand. So thats exactly what I did...from creaming the shortening and sugar to adding the flour and cornstarch. Man was my are on fire! The next time I make it, I'm definitely going to use my kitchen aid or a hand mixer. I colored the dough red for Valentine's Day. When it came time to roll the roskette, I attempted to do some heart shaped ones. There were some that turned out nice and others that well looked more like eyes popping out. My son made the best heart shaped cookie out of all of them!
I ended up making the roskette in the regular style (just making a coil) and the simplest one (rolling into a ball and pressing with a fork). They tasted awesome just like how my mother-in-law makes it. Her recipe ended making soo much cookies that I packed some for Dame's teachers and Jay's soldiers.
