Irish Desserts

Grandee47

I am posting two Irish Desserts that were requested.

IRISH SHORTBREAD (32 triangle cookies)

1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup confectioner sugar
BEAT THESE TOGETHER UNTIL CREAMED

1/2 cup corn starch
2 cups flour
MIX TOGETHER

1. Work the flour mixture into the butter mixture a little at a time; knead (might be crumbly)
2. Divide into two equal parts and press each part into an ungreased 8" round pan.
3. With a fork, perforate a spoke pattern so that each round has 16 sections.
4. Bake at 300 for 45-60 minutes. The edges will get golden, be careful not to burn.
5. While still warm, sprinkle tops with a little sugar.
6. After cooling, score the perforations with a knife and the rounds will break apart giving you 32 cookies.

Each cookie @95 calories.


IRISH JIG DESSERT (so easy and so yummy!) makes 8 1/2cup servings

Cool Whip Free - 1 tub thawed
8 Archway coconut macaroon cookies - processed into crumbs
2 TBs good whiskey

1. Put cool whip into bowl and mix whiskey in well.
2. Fold in most of the macaroon crumbs....save some for topping
3. Divide between 8 dishes
4. Sprinkle with saved macaroon crumbs.
