CHRISTMAS COOKIES on youF
mind? Then her*- are two fine
recipes. One of them is a praline
type sweet?crisp and nutty. The
other is .similar to a cookie our
grandmother* used to make: rich
butter dough is shaped into small
balls and a finger is pressed into
the center of each to make an In
dentation. As soon as the cookies
come from the oven, the centers
filled with semi-sweet chocolate
pieces and filbert*. Magically
enough, the hot cookies melt the
chocolate and the nuts stay in
place. Both these cookies were a
great success in our household, so
We urge you to try them.
In taking the praline cookies
from the pans, follow directions
and remember that practice makes
perfect. Oik- other caution: don't
substitute light brown sugar for
the daik In own sugar called for.1
We made thi* recipe with both
sorts of sugar and find they are
: greatly .superior with the latter
The fttlr-rts, too, toast slightly in
the oven ami. give these cookies a
' Special flavor.
