Clothes Pin Cookies
List of Ingredients
Puff pastry cookies wrapped on clothes pins, baked and then filled. 1/2 inch to 5/8 inch dowels cut 4 inches long work well. Clothes pins may spring open in
the oven and break the pastry. These are best if baked on insulated cookie sheets. Makes 3 dozen ( 18 servings).
1 pound butter, softened
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons white sugar
2 egg yolks
1-1/4 cups ice water
1 cup milk
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1-1/2 cups shortening
8 cups confectioners' sugar
1 (7 ounce) jar marshmallow creme
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Recipe
1 Mix 1/4 pound of the butter with 3 cups of flour, 2 tablespoons white sugar, egg yolks, and water. (Done like making pie dough with a pastry blender.)
2 Chill for 1 hour then roll out like pie dough on a floured pastry sheet. Spread another 1/4 pound of the butter over dough. Fold dough together and
refrigerate 1 hour. Repeat this procedure until all of the butter is used.
3 Cut dough into fourths. Wrap each quarter in plastic
wrap. Chill.
4 Take out one quarter at a time and allow to stand at room temperature long enough that it softens enough that the dough can be rolled.
5 Roll dough out on floured pastry sheet/ board. Cut dough into 1/2 inch wide X 4-5 inch long strips. Wrap around clothes pins or dowel pins pinching
ends.
6 Bake at 400° for 12-15 minutes until lightly browned. Slide off sticks while still very warm and then cool completely.
7 To Make Filling: In a saucepan over medium heat, cook 1 cup milk and 1/2 cup flour until thick stirring constantly. Let cool.
8 Cream together shortening, confectioners' sugar, marshmallow cream, and vanilla. Add cooked mixture to creamed mixture and beat till fluffy. Fill cooled
pastry curls with filling.
