PECAN RICH COOKIES—Bo a smart cookie and bake these pecan-rich cookies dur
* )n S the holiday season. It is not too early to bet;in filling the cookie jar and attrac
* tivte containers for gifts from (he kitchen.
The Herald Kitchen
By MILDRED BUSKINS
Why is it, do you . suppose,
that as the holidays approach,
women start to hake?
Even females who don’t
ordinarily indulge in the
mixing bowl-cake batter-pan
buttering routine seem all of
a sudden possessed with an
urge to turn out Christmas
cookies by the score, pret
tily decorated fruit cakes
and other assorted goodies.
Let’s face it, the tradition
of baking sweetmeats and
tasty tidbits is as old as any
tradition connected w' it h
Christmas and probably has
been helped along by wom
en’s o’esire to give some
thing of ’hemselves some
thing they’ve made—to loved
ones.
* We can work off a real
rage by baking a cake ... a
batch Os cqbkies. Although
we'i Jtety.' little of the
'sweets ’S&e turn out (for ob
vious reasons) we get great
glee out of filling the cake
tins around the kitchen with
cookies for the holidays.
We3h be passing along some
mw recipes during the next
few; . weeks. You may like
thetn or you may prefer
some traditional recipe which
came to you from your
grandmother.
We have already purchas
ed our shelled pecans from
an Altrusan. Have you?
You’ll need them for these
two recipes which have been
enjoyed by several genera
tions.
