, MODERN COOKIES —As good to eat as they are picturesque, are these Coconut
I Thins with a drizzle of semi-sweet chocolate. 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.

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.
