Sometimes I think the cookie jar
Is the favorite piece of equipment
Sin the American

ly in the kitchen.
At least it's the
most popular, and
that's not just
among the young
sters for many a
time the oldsters
make the path to the cookie jar just
as often as the children.
If there are cookies m the house,
then it's the kind of a house that
spells "Welcome Home," for cook
ies are not just delightful to have,
they often take the edge off hunger
when it's most necessary—alter
school, or after a meal to give it
the finishing touch.
Cookies aren't hard to make.
They last longer than cakes. They
take 1 ss ingredients, and they go
r: ueh further. Keep a list of favor
ites on hand that will keep the
eockie jar filled no matter how popu
lar that jar is!

Lynn Says
Make Cookies! It's fun to make
cookies when you have the
'•know-it-all" right at hand. Make
it easy for yourself by following
these simple directions:
Start heating the oven before
you actually make the cookies so
all will be in readiness when you
pop the sheets in the oven.
Assemble all the equipment
needed. Assemble and measure
the ingredients.
Prepare cookie sheets next. If
cookies contain much fat, sheets
need not be greased. Pans for
bars should be buttered, lined
with waxed paper, then buttered
again.
Shortening creams best at
room temperature. It should not
be melted as this injures texture
and flavor of cookie.
Eggs are usually well beaten
before added to the shortening
and sugar. If the quantity of
eggs is small, they may be added
directly to shortening and sugar.
