SUGAR BISCUITS CHINESE RECIPES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, cream together the sugar and shortening. Stir in the egg and vanilla, beat until light and fluffy. Combine the cake flour, baking soda and salt, stir into the creamed mixture. Dough will be stiff, you may need to use your hands to mix. Roll dough into a log about 15 inches long, and roll in the ground nuts. Wrap and chill dough for at least an hour or until firm.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
• Unwrap dough and cut into 1/2 inch slices. Place cookies 1 1/2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheets.
• Bake for 10 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheets before removing to cool completely on wire racks. When cool, place a dollop of fudge icing onto the center of each cookie.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F.
• Mix sugar and cinnamon together.
• Cut biscuits in half.
• Roll each biscuit half in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
• Place in a greased dish (square or rectangle--I used one size smaller than a 9x13).
• You can crowd them together; they will bake up nice and fluffy.
• Top with butter pats randomly across the top.
• Bake for 10-20 minutes, depending on how well-done you like your rolls.
• Watch them closely.
• If you want a really good treat, top these with Buttercream Icing (Recipe #95416 is GREAT!) once they are right out of the oven.
• It will melt all over the rolls.
• Make the icing ahead of time and store in the fridge, then soften it in the microwave.
• Storebought icing could also be used.
