MARTIAN COOKIES
We had a cooking class at Children's Hospital in Orange, CA. These were a favorite for the patients and adults. You should have been there to smell the wonderful scent of cookies right out of the oven and see the children's faces!!! I think these are called martian cookies because of the green flecks, and they are out of this world!!

MARTINA COOKIES
Perfect little shortbread cookies. Dip them in chocolate and top with nuts, coconut, and crushed candy canes. Not too sweet and a great Christmas cookie! Freezes well and dough can be made a day or two ahead. These are good plain, or you can melt some chocolate chips (milk, semi-sweet, or white) and dip one end of the cookie. You can then dip the chocolate end in chopped nuts, crushed candy canes, coconut, jimmies, or decorating sugar. Or, add a little grated orange peel or chopped candied ginger to the chocolate when you melt it for another great flavor. Place on waxed paper to harden.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use high-quality ingredients. This means using real butter, pure vanilla extract, and good quality chocolate.
- Make sure your butter is at room temperature before you start mixing. This will help the cookies to cream together properly.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
- Chill the dough for at least one hour before baking. This will help the cookies to keep their shape.
- Bake the cookies at the correct temperature and for the correct amount of time. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help them to keep their shape and texture.
