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.

CHOCOLATE DIPPING SAUCE FOR SAVANNAH BOW TIE COOKIES
Steps:
- In saucepan stir together sugar, cornstarch and salt. Over medium heat add crumbled candy bars one at a time. Gradually stir in cream. Cook and stir over medium heat until chocolate melts. Temper egg yolk with 1/2 cup of hot chocolate sauce. Then add the egg yolk mixture back into the pot and cook. Stir until mixture comes to a boil. Remove from heat, add vanilla. Pour into serving bowl. **Any leftover can be poured into custard cups, refrigerated and served as a pudding.
Tips:
- Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Use a cookie scoop to measure out the dough: This will help ensure that the cookies are all the same size and shape.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set: Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them: This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
Conclusion:
Bow tie cookies are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized with different colors of frosting and sprinkles. With a little planning and effort, you can create beautiful and delicious bow tie cookies that will impress your friends and family.
