These are soft, cake-like cookies, best with frosting. Roll them out thickly, and bake no more than 8 minutes. They will stay soft, and everyone raves over them. I use them as cutouts for holidays.

I have used confectioner sugar frosting, or buttercream frosting, or even canned frosting ( if I'm desperate). Enjoy!

This is a Bolivian meat pastry, a cousin to the empanada. This recipe is one handed down from my grandmother. It makes 16 medium-sized saltenas.
Homemade Cherry Ice Cream
I have been experimenting making cherry ice cream with sweet summer cherries and my secret ingredient is balsamic vinegar — give it a try! I like my ice cream on the creamy side, so I prefer eating it fresh out of the ice cream maker.
