PINEAPPLE RAISIN DROPS

These are very simple, but you will find NO better cookie anywhere! On the down side, they do require advanced preparation (overnight is best). Included are a couple of filling recipes, but a can of pre-made will work too. (Apricot is best) When rolling out dough, try to keep it as chilled as possible. To cream the cottage cheese, it helps if you have a food processor or blender, but a fork and a strong arm will do in a pinch. Mix ingredients and chill at least 6 hours. Roll to 1/4" thickness. Cut into 2 or 3 inch squares, and place filling or preserves in center of square. Bring corners over filling and seal together. Bake at 350 - 25 to 30 minutes. Remove and dust with powdered sugar. Pineapple Filling: Combine ingredients in sauce pan, cook stirring constantly until thickened. Cool. Apricot Filling: Simmer apricot 10 minutes. Add sugar and simmer 10 minutes more. Remove from heat and add butter and cinnamon. Cool.

PREHEAT THE OVEN TO 325F. Beat the butter with the sugar by hand, with a hand mixer set at medium speed, or in a heavy-duty mixer fitted with the paddle. Continue beating until the mixture lightens both in texture and color, about 4 or 5 minutes. Beat in the vanilla, then the yolks, one at a time, beating smooth after each addition. Stir the flour and cornmeal together, and stir into the butter mixture by hand. Line 2 or 3 cookie sheets with parchment paper and pipe the Krumiri in horseshoe or stick shapes, using a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch star tube (Ateco #4). Bake about 15 minutes. Remove from pans and cool on a rack.

VARIATION OF KRUMIRI: SCHIACCATINE DI GRANTURCO. These wonderful biscotti are always on the bar at Tonino and Claudia Verro's charming inn, Contea, at Neive, near Alba in Piemonte. The surrounding area, known as the Langhe for its situation in the Langa hills, has some of Italy's most breathtaking natural scenery, as well as excellent wine and Grappa.

FOLLOW THE RECIPE FOR KRUMIRI, but do not pipe the dough. Divide the dough in half and place each half on a piece of parchment or wax paper. Shape the dough into a rough log about 1-inch diameter and about 6 inches long. Roll and tighten the paper around the dough, to make it perfectly cylindrical. Chill the cylinders of dough about 1 hour, until firm. Remove one piece at a time from the refrigerator and slice the cylinder into disks 1/4-inch thick. Arrange the disks of dough on paper-lined cookie sheets, 1 inch apart on all sides. Continue with the other cylinder of dough. Bake as for the Krumiri.

PREHEAT OVEN TO 375F and adjust the rack to the middle level. Using the food processor, chop the walnuts by turning the machine on and off about 10 times; reserve them. Process the butter and sugar for 1 minute, or until the mixture is creamed and fluffy. Add the egg, vanilla, cinnamon and salt and process the mixture for 1 minute, stopping the machine once to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the rolled oats, wheat germ, flour and reserved nuts and combine the batter by turning the machine on and off a couple of times, or until the flour just disappears. Do not over-process it. Scrape down the sides of the bowl once during processing. Batter will be very thin. Drop the batter by the scant teaspoonful well apart on well greased aluminum baking sheets that have been sprinkled with water. Do not use Teflon-coated sheets. Place about 12 cookies on each 17-by-14-inch sheet. (These cookies spread while baking.) Bake for 6-to-8 minutes, or until they are browned. Let them rest on the baking sheets for 2 minutes, then transfer them carefully and quickly to wire racks with a metal spatula. If they cool before they are removed from the baking sheet, return the sheet to the oven for 1 minute. Let the cookies cool completely before storing them in an airtight container.

USING A GRATER, grate lemon peels, removing only the yellow part. Place the grated peel in a mixing bowl. Squeeze the lemon juice and set aside in a small bowl. Combine the butter, vanilla, sugar and salt in an electric mixer fitted with a paddle, if you have one, and beat together at medium speed until creamy. Add the egg, 1/2 cup lemon juice and grated rind and beat until incorporated. Reserve any extra lemon juice for another use. Decrease speed to slow and add the semolina and then the flour, beating until just incorporated. Turn the dough onto a marble or wooden work surface and divide it into 2 balls. Wrap in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator to chill for 1 hour. When chilled, remove from the refrigerator and roll each ball into a log 2-inches in diameter.

PREHEAT OVEN TO 325F. Working on a marble or wooden surface, unwrap the dough log and cut into rounds about 1/2-inch thick. Sprinkle each round with a little sugar and lightly flatten the rounds with a rolling pin. Place the rounds on an unbuttered cookie sheet and chill in the refrigerator until firm, about 10 minutes. Bake the cookies on the middle rack of an oven for about 10 minutes, or until the surface starts to crack slightly. Remove from the oven and let cool. The cookies will be chewy at first, but will harden as they cool.

There are a great variety of shapes and fillings you can use when making hand shaped cookies. They tend to be more time consuming to make than other types of cookies because each one must be individually shaped. It's well worth the extra time, and you may find you enjoy shaping the cookies as much as eating them!
