This Month's Recipe 
Pagan Cookies
You didn't actually think that we were going to recommend roasting plump little babies, biting the heads off of live doves, or rounding the Samhain celebration out with a few cups of warm blood . . . did you? Naw. The end of the year, the celebration of fall, and the honoring of ancestors calls for a dinner pretty much like one your mom would approve, unless she's a diabetic vegan. Menus that we've seen rely on roast pork, an apple dish, perhaps somethin' with pumpkin--none of them unusual for fall. But what snagged our sweet tooth was this cookie recipe.
Hallomass (New Year) Cakes
Mix oil, chocolate, and granulated sugar. Blend in one egg at a time until well mixed. Add vanilla. Measure flour by dipping method or by sifting. Stir flour, baking powder, and salt into oil mixture. Chill several hours or overnight.
Heat oven to 350 deg F [175 deg C]. Roll about a Tb of dough into a ball (yes, it's messy). Drop balls into confectioners' sugar, and roll around until coated. Place about 2 inches apart on greased baking sheet. Bake 10-12 min. They will be a little soft but should not be mushy. Edges should be firm. Don't overbake--these burn easily. Obviously, this is not a low-fat, weight-watcher recipe. This is a Grandma Recipe, and Grandma cooks with real butter.
Bon appetit.
