Ingredients:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dough:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4 cups flour<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 sticks margarine<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1\u00bc cups sugar<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 eggs<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00bd teaspoon salt<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 teaspoon baking powder<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 tablespoon vanilla sugar<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00bc cup orange juice<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Custard cream:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 16-oz. container whip topping<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 12-oz. container custard cream (I used Muzon)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Toppings:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blue gumballs<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blue sugar crystals<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blue sprinkles<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blue gumdrops<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blue chocolate dreidel (see directions below)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Directions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a dough hook, mix flour and margarine. Add sugar and eggs. Add the rest of the dough ingredients and mix until a smooth dough forms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roll dough between 2 sheets of parchment papers (to prevent the dough from getting oily).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using a cookie cutter, cut shapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bake at 350\u00b0F for 15 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beat whip topping until stiff. Add custard cream and beat quickly until combined. Do not overbeat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(If you prefer plain whip, you can add 1 cup confectioners\u2019 sugar and \u00bd package instant vanilla pudding to the whip to sweeten it.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To assemble:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fill a pastry bag fitted with a large tip (or a Ziploc bag with a hole snipped on the corner) with custard filling\/whip. Pipe dots onto a cookie, covering the entire cookie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Place another cookie on top and pipe dots to cover the cookie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Place another cookie on top and repeat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pick a cookie for your topper to decorate. You will need to decorate it before you place it on top. Decorate with assorted toppings and place on top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To create the dreidel chocolates shown, spread melted blue chocolate onto a plastic plate and allow to harden. Right before the chocolate sets, use a cookie cutter to create a chocolate dreidel. Place the plate in the refrigerator for 2 minutes before removing the dreidel-shaped chocolate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
