Whole Wheat Crackers
1 3/4 cups whole wheat flour
1/4 cup unbleached white flour
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
3/4 cup butter
3/8 to 1/2 cup ice water
Combine the flours, cayenne and mustard in mixing bowl. Cut in
the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. With a fork
stir in ice water until the mixture barely holds together. Do not
add too much water or the crackers will be tough.
Place the dough in a plastic bag, and knead a few times until the
dough holds together. Chill for half and hour or overnight (set
out about an hour before rolling if chilled overnight).
Preheat the over to 350 degrees. Divide the dough into quarters,
and roll it out, a section at a time, on a lightly floured surface.
Try to roll the dough as thin as possible. Cut into 1 1/2 inch
squares (a small straight edge pizza cutter works well). Set aside
any scraps to reroll later. Place the squares on a baking sheet
(prick with fork to avoid bubbling).
Bake for about 10 minutes, or until they are lightly browned.
Watch them clocely because the crackers burn quickly. Cool on
racks. Store in covered tins, where the crackers will stay fresh
for a week.
Makes about 100+ (more with practice) crackers
Variation: Sesame Seed Crackers. Add 3/4 cup roasted sesame seeds
to the dough. Lightly brush crackers with sesame oil before baking.
Olga's Low Calorie Chocolate Chip Cookies
We save calories by using grated pieces of chocolate - mere flecks- as opposed to full-size chocolate chips! You get the taste, and not the calories!

1/4 cup unsalted margarine or butter
1/4 cup granulated sugar

Apple Pie Cookies
1/2 cup and 2 tbsp sugar
2 1/2 cups flour
1 1/4 cup butter
1 1/4 cup cream cheese
1/2 tsp vanilla (optional)
1/4 tsp pie spice
2/3 cup white or turbinado sugar or 1 cup less 2 tbsp if not using apple syrup
2 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp lemon zest
3 or 4 smaller green apples
3/8 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup butter
1 tsp flour
2-3 tsp apple syrup
Grate apples and mix them thoroughly with the lemon juice, cinnamon,
flour, and lemon zest. Set aside in refrigerator. Stir butter and
sugar together over low heat till the mixture melts together and
bubbles thoroughly; you want a light caramel. Remove from heat and
stir in apple syrup and the refrigerated apple mixture. Cool the
filling a bit before using.
Reduce 1 cup apple juice or cider (cider is preferable) to 2 to 3
tbsp of liquid over low heat. Watch it carefully, lest it burn.
Apple brandy can be substituted, but the amount of sugar has to be
increased to 1 cup less 2 tablespoons, maybe a bit more if the
apples are very tart.
When I make these I roll the dough thickish (1/6 to 1/4 inch) and
go scantily on the filling; this filling may well make a double
recipe of cookies relative to this crust.
Once assembled, bake these at 350 degrees until golden brown and
pastry-set. That took 10 minutes for 2-inch-long ones.
I used a 2" dough press to make them. A regular piecrust dough
could be used, but I've found that rugelach dough keeps its shape
even if the pastries leak, while piecrust dough pastries rupture.
