This Dessert:

Krashim of the Mishkan

Hashem commands Moshe to build the Mishkan. The Mishkan walls are made of wooden pillars coated in gold with solid silver sockets.

What you Need:

Ingredients

• Roll-out cookie dough

• Gold food coloring spray paint

• Silver sprinkles

Things

• Rolling pin

• Paring knife

• 3 sheets of parchment paper

How to Make it:

1. Roll out the dough.

2. Cut out 21 rectangles 3 ½ inches by a ½ inch.

3. Cut one of the rectangles the short way into ten equal pieces and coat them in silver sprinkles.

4. Take 10 of the rectangles and carefully cut out a little bit in the middle about a tenth of the way up and a drop in on either side to form two prongs (see sidebar).

5. Place the remaining 10 full rectangles on a baking sheet in a row next to each other width-wise spaced to bake, according to your recipes instructions.

6. Mask the top 9/10 of all the cookies by laying a piece of parchment paper over it leaving the bottom 1/10 of each cookie exposed and press down lightly.

7. Pour silver sprinkles over the bottom exposed part of the cookies until it’s completely covered and lightly press the sprinkles in.

8. Carefully remove the top piece of parchment paper trying not to allow any sprinkles to fall on the un-sprinkled part of the cookies.

9. Add the rest of the cookies to the baking sheet spaced appropriately to bake.

10. Bake all the cookies according to your recipe. Keep an eye on the time -- the small cookies will bake quickly.

11. Lay out a sheet of parchment paper and transfer the full length sprinkled cookies to it.

12. Cover the sprinkled part of the full length cookies with another piece of parchment paper and spray the top of the cookies gold. Transfer the cookies with prongs to the parchment paper and spray them gold as well.

13. Let the gold spray dry and arrange the cookies vertically on a platter with the silver sides and pronged sides on the bottom. Place one small silver cookie under the legs of each cut out cookie.
