On Easter Sunday, the leader of the Prayer Ministry Team at my church told me that they're having a prayer time/meeting the following Sunday...and was wondering if I could make some treats for all the participants?
Of course I would!
As a matter of fact, there was this one cookie that I've always wanted to try making--a prayer cookie. I was envisioning hand-shaped shortbread cookies encasing a buttercream filling. It will look like praying hands with creamy filling--or a hand-shaped Oreo. And it was the perfect opportunity to try this out.
I made the basic chocolate shortbread dough, rolled it out and used the hand-shaped cookie cutter to cut these out. I had to flip the cutter on the other side to make the opposite hand (since they're mirror-images of each other).
I made a peanut butter cream filling for these. The result?
It tasted good, just like your regular chocolate-peanut butter sandwich cookie. The fingers on the cutter is shorter (in proportion) than the average human hand, so it looked a bit funny/unnatural. I was a bit disappointed (being the perfectionist that I am...) but the Prayer Ministry Team loved it! They said the treats made the meeting/prayer time very much memorable. As long as they're happy, I'm happy :)
Guess I'll just call these... Prayer-eos?
