This portion describes the sacrifices including the Thanksgiving Offering. This korban or sacrifice, involved so much food that had to be eaten in such a short amount of time. Therefore, lots of people had to be invited to share in eating it.
Cow Cookies
1/2 cup oil
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. baking powder
7-9 ounces flour (about 1 1/2 cups to 2 cups flour)
1 Tbsp. cocoa powder
Divide your cookie dough, leaving 3/4 of the dough vanilla flavored, and add cocoa powder to the remainder to make it chocolate (about 1 Tbsp. for a dough made with 2 cups of flour). Roll out both dough 1/8″ thick. Then tear the chocolate dough into small, irregular pieces and lay them over the white dough in a random pattern. Use the rolling pin to gently press in the chocolate dough and make a cow pattern: Now, you just cut out cows (you will get at least two dozen from a cookie recipe with 2 cups of flour):
Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes. You could use chocolate to add eyes before or after baking. Beat sugar, oil, egg, and vanilla for ten minutes. Add the baking powder. Stir in 1 1/2 cups of the flour. Add more as needed. It will be a bit hard to use up all the flour, but you could. The dough should be soft, but not sticky. Take 1/4 of the dough and add in the cocoa powder (or more, if a darker color is desired). Knead the cocoa powder in until the dough is an even chocolate color. Roll out the dough 1/8″ thick as described above. Cut and bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes, until lightly golden at the edges.
