Line a baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil. In a medium bowl stir the flour, baking soda, and salt together. Set aside. In another medium bowl beat the butter, banana puree, Sucanot, and brown sugar until fluffy. Beat in the vanilla, egg whites, and non dairy chips (available from health food store). Stir in 1/4 of the reserved dry ingredients, then fold in the remainder until blended. The batter will be thick and chunky. Scoop 2 tablespoons of batter for each cookie and drop 3 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until golden brown. Let cool before removing from pan. The cookies will be chewy; if you prefer them crunchy, bake them at 320F. Place a cookie on each serving plate and top with a scoop of ice cream. Lean another cookie against the ice cream. Drizzle with melted chocolateor dust with cocoa if desired. To make Kathleen's Virtually No-Fat Ice Cream: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or waxed paper and place the bananas on the paper. Freeze overnight. Remove from the freezer and place in the bowl of a food processor. Add the cocoa. Pulse until smooth and creamy. If necessary, this can be done in two batches. Freeze in an ice cream freezer according to the manufacturer's instructions. Cook's Notes: Hard to believe, but each of these cookies has only 2 grams of fat. Sucanot, which is evaporated cane juice, gives a distinctive molasses-like taste to the cookies. The ice cream should be made a day ahead; purchased low fat frozen yogurt or sorbet can also be used Recipe from "Great Chefs Great Chocolate" - Spectacular Desserts from America's Great Chefs ISBN 1-888952-83-0 Grand Wailea Resort Hotel 3850 Wailea Alanui Drive Kihea, HI 96753 Tel (808) 874-2355 Contributed to FareShare, February 7, 1999, Y2V2-6 JoAnn Pellegrino at gigimfg@ix.netcom.com Formatted in MasterCook by Art Guyer Subscribe to this list at http://fareshare.net   - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -   * Exported from MasterCook *   Kolaches by Martha Recipe By : Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Desserts Volume 2-2, Feb.'99   Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ --------------------------------   1 pkg active dry yeast   1/4 cup warm water   3/4 cup milk   1/2 cup butter or margerine   1/4 cup sugar   1 tsp salt   3 3/4 cups all purpose flour -- (3 3/4 to 4 1/4)   2 eggs   1 recipe Prune or Apricot filling   sifted powdered sugar -- (optional) Step 1: In a bowl, add yeast to water, stirring to dissolve.

Cook's Notes: Someone on a bread machine list wanted an authentic Kolache recipe that they could hopefully try to recreate in the ABM. I hope they succeed because this is lovely. I included a prune and an apricot filling, but if you can find a poppyseed filling, those are the best! I still had the recipe up on my clipboard when the Valentine Notice came in. perfect! From the Czechoslovak Publishing Co, West, Texas. NOTE: "West" Texas isn't West Texas! It's a little Czech community just North of Waco, and they also have some of the best hams and sausage (actually award winning) in the SW. When I'd haul a hog (100 miles at least) to the processor in that town, I always made sure I brought home about the hog's weight in kolaches.
