Jorge:What would Christmas be without cookies?

Glenn: I know I look forward to eating several.

Jorge: This is a recipe that comes straight from Havana. It's the most authentic Cuban Christmas cookie!

2 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups corn flakes lightly crushed into small pieces, NOT crumbs
1 1/4 cup sugar
1 cup butter
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup raisins
1/3 cup chopped maraschino cherries
1 jar maraschino cherries

 

Preheat oven at 375°F

Use an electric mixture to cream the butter and sugar together in a small bowl. Gradually add the eggs and vanilla.

Sift together the flour, baking power, baking soda, and salt. Add these dry ingredients to the creamed sugar and mix well. Use a spatula to gently fold in the walnuts, raisins and maraschino cherries.

To make the cookies

Take a teaspoon of dough and roll it in the corn flakes. Place the cookies on a greased pan. Put one maraschino cherry in the center of each cookie.

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes.

Serves: Makes approximately two dozen cookies.

Three Guys From Miami: Food, Travel, & Culture
iCuban logo
This painting represents the dual culture of Cuban-Americans here symbolized by both the traditional espresso coffee pot -- for those cafe con leches -- and the ubiquitous American drip coffee maker, which is found in offices, work sites, and most American homes.

Tony has sold many of these at art shows around Florida. It is especially popular with Cuban-Americans who live this dual culture. Also a great gift for Cubans married to Americans!
