BOW TIE COOKIES
Steps:
- Place the eggs, vanilla, vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon of the sugar, and the flour and salt in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle and blend on low speed until incorporated. Then beat on high speed for 5 minutes.
- Remove the paddle and scrape the batter down the sides of the bowl. Rest the dough in the bowl, covered, until soft and spongy outside, about 1 hour. Then remove it from the bowl, it will be sticky, and make a ball out of it.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and grease 2 baking sheets.
- Sprinkle a work surface with the 1 cup sugar, about 1/8 inch deep. Place the dough in the center, flatten it slightly with a rolling pin and sprinkle the dough liberally with sugar.
- Roll the dough to a thickness of 1/8 inch, a rectangle about 18 by 12 inches. Then, using a pastry cutter or a dull knife, cut out the dough into strips 3/4 inch wide and 2 inches long. Lift each strip, twist in the middle to make a bow tie and place on the cookie sheets, leaving 1/2 inch between each strip.
- Bake the cookies for 25 to 30 minutes on the middle rack of the oven, until the cookies are hard to the touch on all corners and golden brown. (If using 1 oven, put the cookie sheets on the top and center racks, then switch them midway). To test for doneness, break a cookie in half. If it is doughy or too soft, it is not done yet. Return to the oven for a few minutes more.

Steps:
- Beat the egg yolks with the sugar until well combined. Add sour cream, rum and vanilla and mix until smooth. Sift the flour, baking powder and salt and add it to egg yolk mixture, a little at a time. On a heavily floured surface knead the dough vigorously, punching and squeezing as much flour into it as it will take until the dough is no longer sticky (1/2 hour). Separate dough into several portions and roll very thin. Turn the dough and loosen often when rolling. The dough should look like parchment paper that you can see through. Cut dough into strips approximately 1-1/2 inches wide, 4 inches long. Make slit closer to one end and bring the longer end through the slit. Heat oil to 375 degrees fahrenheit and fry quickly (only a few seconds) until golden not brown. Turn only once. Drain on paper towels. Dust with confectioners sugar.

Steps:
- Mix together all ingredients until well blended.
- Taking a small part of the dough at a time, roll out very thin.
- Cut into strips about 6" long and 1/2" wide.
- Make a slit in center and pull one side of dough thru the slit.
- Fry in hot oil until golden brown.
- Drain on paper towels.
- While still slightly warm sprinkle generously with confectioners sugar.
- (Dependent on the heat of your oil, is how quick they will get done so time may vary).
Tips:
- Chill the dough: Chilling the dough before baking helps to prevent the cookies from spreading too much and keeps them chewy.
- Use room temperature butter: Room temperature butter creams together with sugar more easily, resulting in a smoother dough.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough can make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cookies at the right temperature: The ideal temperature for baking bow cookies is 375 degrees Fahrenheit. This temperature allows the cookies to brown evenly without burning.
- Let the cookies cool completely before frosting: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
Conclusion:
Bow cookies are a delicious and festive treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for parties, bake sales, or simply as a sweet snack. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make bow cookies at home. So, what are you waiting for? Get baking!
