Photographed at Shaker Village, Han cock, Mass., the cookies rest on an old-fashioned, handmade cake cooler, while some are nestled in one of the oval wooden boxes also made by the Shakers. —(Photo by General Foods) From The Chowan Herald Kitchen By MILDRED BUSKINS With a plentiful supply of butter and eggs always at hand, the industrious and economy-minded Shakers of long ago filled crocks or boxes with wonderful cook ies. There were many different kinds of ginger cookies and graham cookies and molasses cookies some rolled, some dropped by the spoonful onto baking sheets. There is a recipe for “Very Nice Cookies” calling for a cup of butter and four eggs and you can be sure this recipe WOULD be extra nice! One interesting recipe got the name “Popcorn Cook * les” because the cookies tast ed like popcorn. The still popular Hermit cookie was, as now, spicy and full of fruit. Jumbles—thick, rolled out cookies; were sometimes decorated with a spoonful of jelly or dusted with sugar. If you have looked over the recipes in some of the Shaker cookbooks you have found .that the directions are sometimes omitted complete ly; only a list of ingredients is given and, in many in stances, the amount of an in gredient is designated as simply “a little." One ingre dient amount which is most amusing is “flour to spank smoothly." A modern cookie recipe— Coconut Thins with Choco late Drizzle includes com plete directions for mixing, baking and glazing with a lacework of melted scmi swect chocolate. The results worthy of the Shaker designation, “Very Nice Cook ies,” as are Filled Floren tines. Both would be nice additions to holiday baking agendas.
