Pink Ribbon Cookies
|
|
|
| |||||||||||||||||||||
Directions:
| . | Preheat oven to 350°F. In Small Batter Bowl, microwave two sticks of the butter on HIGH 1 minute or until melted. Slice remaining butter into 1/2-inch pieces; add to melted butter, tossing to coat. Allow butter to stand 3-5 minutes or until softened. |
| . | Meanwhile, in large bowl, combine cake mix and flour; blend well using Stainless Whisk, breaking up any large lumps. |
| . | Whisk butter until smooth and free of lumps. If necessary, microwave butter an additional 10-20 seconds or until creamy and pourable. Do not melt completely. Pour butter all at once into dry ingredients, scraping butter from batter bowl. Mix until dry ingredients are incorporated and dough is smooth. |
| . | Turn dough out onto well-floured Cutting Board. With floured hands, gently knead dough, adding up to 1/2 cup flour as needed to form a firm dough. Divide dough into three equal portions. Shape each portion into an 8-inch disk. Generously flour Cutting Board again. Roll one disk of dough out evenly to 1/8-inch thickness using Baker's Roller®. Cut cookie shapes using large scalloped cookie cutter; transfer to Large Round Stone with Handles, 1 inch apart. |
| . | Bake cookies 15-17 minutes or until edges are set. Cool 3 minutes on baking stone; remove to Stackable Cooling Rack. Cool completely. |
| . | Meanwhile, combine powdered sugar and meringue powder in Classic Batter Bowl. Add 5 tablespoons water; mix well. Mix in additional water, 1 teaspoon at a time, to form a thick icing that will flow into a smooth pool with a rounded edge. |
| . | Place 1/3 cup of the icing into Prep Bowl; tint, one drop at a time, with red food coloring until desired shade of pink is reached. |
| . | To decorate cookies, pipe a white icing border around edge of one cookie; fill in with white icing until smooth. Immediately pipe a pink ribbon onto center of cookie. To sharpen corners of ribbon design, drag corners out slightly using wooden pick. Repeat with remaining cookies. Let stand about 1-2 hours or until icing dries completely. Serve on Simple Additions® Rectangular Platter. |

Creamy One-Pot Pasta
This one-pot wonder combines slivered garlic and fresh vegetables
for a light pasta dish your family will be sure to request again.
4 large garlic cloves, peeled
1 jar (7 oz) sun-dried tomatoes in oil, undrained
3 cans (14.5 oz each) chicken broth (5¼ cups)
1 lb uncooked penne pasta
1 head broccoli (2 cups small florets)
2 medium carrots, peeled
4 oz reduced-fat cream cheese (Neufchâtel)
¼ tsp salt
½ tsp coarsely ground black pepper
Grated fresh Parmesan cheese and snipped fresh basil (optional)
Thinly slice garlic using Color Coated Paring Knife. Place garlic and 1 tbsp oil from sun-dried tomatoes into
(8-qt.) Stockpot. Cook garlic over medium heat 2-3 minutes or until garlic is golden brown, stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat; add broth. Return to burner; increase heat to high. Cover and bring to a boil. Stir in pasta;
cover and simmer vigorously 8-10 minutes or until pasta is almost cooked but still firm, stirring occasionally using
Mega Scraper.
Meanwhile, cut broccoli into small florets; place into Classic Batter Bowl. Cut carrots in half lengthwise; thinly
slice crosswise on a bias using Santoku Knife. Drain sun-dried tomatoes; pat dry with a paper towel. Slice
tomatoes into thin strips. Add carrots and tomatoes to batter bowl.
Cut cream cheese into cubes. Add vegetables, cream cheese, salt and black pepper to Stockpot. Stir until cream
cheese is melted and fully incorporated. Reduce heat to medium; cover and cook an additional 2-4 minutes or
until vegetables are tender. Serve immediately in Simple Additions® Dots Large Round Bowl. If desired, top with
grated fresh Parmesan cheese and snipped fresh basil.

Cook’s Tips: For an interesting flavor twist, omit salt, black pepper, Parmesan cheese and basil. Add 1 tbsp Moroccan
Rub or Greek Rub.
For a heartier version of this recipe, add grilled turkey Italian sausage or sliced grilled chicken breasts to pasta.
If desired, 2 cups halved cherry tomatoes can be substituted for the sun-dried tomatoes.
