If you like a glaze on your cookies, beat an egg white and add 1 teaspoon cold water. Brush the tops of the cookies with it, and then sprinkle with granulated sugar just before baking. 2. Drop cookies must have room in which to spread while baking. So drop them by teaspoonfuls onto the cookie sheet, leaving at least 2” between each teaspoonful. 3. You’ll save dishes in making cookies, if you sift the flour onto a piece of waxed paper rather than into a bowl. 4. If you don’t stand to take the time to roll out your cookie dough, try this: Just drop the cookie dough from a teaspoon onto the cookie sheet. Let stand a few mo ments, then flatten each cookie into shape by pressing with the bottom of a glass, covered with a damp cloth. Occasionally dip the bottom of the glass in water, and pat on towel to remove excess moisture. 5. You can save the time it takes to cut out rolled cookies with a cutter, if you cut the rolled dough to fit shallow greased baking pans. Bake as directed, then remove and while still hot and in the pan, cut into squares or fingers. 6. If your brown sugar gets too hard and lumpy to use, let it stand in the top of a double boiler over boiling water for a few minutes. It will soften more readily. 7. Here are a few of the things you can buy for decorating cookies. For holly leaves, use packaged candied citron, angelique, or green gumdrops cut as desired. For red berries, use candied cher ries, maraschino cherries, red gumdrops, or the tiny red or cin namon candies that come in pack ages. Silver dragees—^tiny silver colored balls—are lovely on whitp jced cookies, too,
