NOTES : Make It Your Way
        We've got three more ways we think you'll enjoy to make this
        cookie. How about Applesauce-Brown Sugar Drops? Simply substitute
        1 cup applesauce for the 1/2 cup milk. Then stir in 1  1/2
        teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves and 1 cup
        raisins.

        Or try Cherry-Brown Sugar Drops. Stir in 1 cup chopped,
        well-drained maraschino cherries. Press an additional cherry half
        in each cookie before baking, if desired. Omit the glaze. This
        version makes about 6 dozen cookies.

        Finally, there's Whole Wheat-Brown Sugar Drops. Substitute 2 cups
        whole wheat flour for 2 cups of the all-purpose flour. Stir in 1
        cup chopped pecans. Press a pecan half in each cookie before
        baking, if desired. Omit the glaze.

NOTES : Maraschino Cherries
        Is that pronounced "mar-uh-SKEE-noh" or "mar-uh-SHEE-noh?" Either
        way is fine. Although any cherry will do, these sweet beauties are
        generally made from Royal Ann cherries. They are soaked in a sugar
        syrup and dyed red or green. The red cherries are flavored with
        almond and the green with mint.

        Make It Your Way
        Green Cherry-Almond Bars are just as attractive as pink ones.
        Replace the red maraschino cherries in the bars with green ones
        and replace red maraschino cherry juice in the glaze with green.
        This makes a great treat to serve for Saint Patrick's Day.

        A pastry blender is a very efficient, easy-to-use tool to have on
        hand. It blends butter or shortening into dry ingredients without
        much effort. Pastry blenders are inexpensive and can be found in
        the cooking and baking utensil section of most discount stores.

        If you want to try another flavor combination, we suggest
        Chocolate-Orange Cookies. To make these, substitute orange extract
        for the peppermint extract in the frosting. If you would like,
        crush orange-flavored hard candies to sprinkle on top of the
        cookies in place of the peppermint candies. This orange variation
        would make a fun Halloween treat.

NOTES : Make It Your Way
        This variation was the result of the unexpected results we saw
        during recipe testing. We ended up liking our "mistake" so much,
        we decided to stick with it and offer it as a recipe variation! To
        make Hazelnut-Oatmeal Lacies, substitute 1/2 cup hazelnut-flavored
        instant coffee (dry) for the cocoa. Unlike the original recipe
        above, these cookies will be very flat, but still very chewy!

        "I Don't Have That"
        Sometimes we run out of such staples as milk. The same amount of
        melted vanilla ice cream or even yogurt will work as a substitute
        or, in a pinch, just use water.

NOTES : Slightly spicy with a hint of almond, these cookies are
        reminiscent of the Dutch-heritage, store-bought cookies in the
        shape of windmills. If you have windmill molds, use them, but any
        cookie mold will do. Molds have been used to shape cookies in
        China and Europe for hundreds of years, and some American molds
        date to the eighteenth century.

        Make It Your Way
        To make cookies in a cast-iron cookie mold, first grease and flour
        the mold(s). Press dough into mold as directed. Bake smaller molds
        about 15 minutes, larger molds about 20 minutes. Cool cookies 10
        minutes before removing from molds.

NOTES : Cookie Tips
        Yellow and white cornmeal are interchangeable in this recipe, so
        use what you have on hand. The cornmeal adds a rustic texture and
        great crunch to these cookies. For fun, use blue cornmeal in these
        cookies; the baked color will be bluish purple. How many blue
        cookies have you ever seen?

        Make It Your Way
        If you just want a straight-away, buttery-tasting, crisp cookie,
        just leave out the lemon peel. And if you're a real
        adventure-seeker at heart, take two of these cookies and spread
        about a teaspoon of red or green jalape±o jelly between the

NOTES : Cranberries
        This indigenous American fruit was first called "crane berries"
        after the shape of the shrub's pale pink blossoms, which look like
        the heads of cranes. Also, cranes were often seen wading in the

        To customize the color of the Cream Cheese Filling, add desired
        food coloring, a drop at a time until you like the shade and bake
        as usual. Once colored, swirl the filling with the chocolate
        batter.

NOTES : Cookie Tips
        To make delicious rolled cookies, follow these tips. Start with
        properly chilled dough. Avoid rerolling the dough more than twice
        because it will result in tougher, less tender cookies. Aim to
        roll it out once, then assemble any "scraps" and roll them out
        together (once or at the most twice).

        Make It Your Way
        For variety in both color and flavor, make the Creamy Filling
        without vanilla and divide into 3 parts. Tint one part yellow and
        add 1/4 teaspoon lemon extract. Tint the second part pink and add
        1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract. Tint the last part green and add
        1/4 teaspoon wintergreen extract.

NOTES : Wonderful, warm memories and family traditions are often centered
        around the holidays. We often go the extra mile and do something
        just a little more special. For many of us, that means making
        spritz cookies. This tender, little butter cookie has passed the
        test of time.

        Cookie Tip
        These cookies are delicate and crisp with a rich, buttery flavor
        that is perfect for any occasion.

        Make It Your Way
        Chocolate Spritz are easily made by stirring 2 ounces unsweetened
        chocolate, melted and cooled, into the margarine-sugar mixture.

        To make Spice Spritz, stir in 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2
        teaspoon ground nutmeg and 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice with the
        flour.

        A quick and easy way to chop dates is to use a food processor. To

        from the recipe to the dates before processing.

        Make It Your Way
        Create attractive red-filled cookies by making Cherry-Almond
        Pinwheels. Replace pitted dates with dried cherries, use 1/2 cup
        finely chopped blanched almonds and substitute almond extract for
        the vanilla. These pretty pinwheels are sure to be a hit on a
        cookie tray.

  2               cups  powdered sugar
     1/2      teaspoon  vanilla
  2        tablespoons  milk
                        OR
  2        tablespoons  half-and-half
                        Food coloring, if desired

Stir together 2 cups powdered sugar, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla and 2
tablespoons milk or half-and-half until smooth and spreadable. This recipe
makes enough to frost 3 to 5 dozen cookies. Add more milk for a thinner
frosting or to create a glaze. Frosting can be tinted with food color.
Stir in liquid food color, 1 drop at a time, until frosting is the desired
color. If intense, vivid frosting color is desired, use paste food color.
Why? Because you would have to use too much liquid color to get vivid
color, and using too much liquid color will break down the frosting,
causing it to separate and look curdled.

        great substitute.

        farmers' markets or grocery stores from your area in this recipe.
        If that's not possible, give these nationally available varieties
        a try: Cortland, Granny Smith, Rome Beauty or Winesap.

NOTES : Oat Bran
        The bran is the outermost layer of the oat and is a good source of
        fiber. You can find oat bran in the hot cereal or health food
        section of most large supermarkets.

        "I Don't Have That"
        Try using wheat germ instead of the oat bran. If you do, the
        cookies will have a coarser texture and nuttier flavor.

NOTES : Cookie Tips
        Creamy peanut butter works best in these cookies because it's so
        easy to work with.

        Reduced-fat peanut butter spread will work, too, but the cookies
        will be a little drier and a bit tougher.

        For a richer, more butterscotch-like flavor, use all brown sugar.

NOTES : Cookie Tips
        Fully ripened bananas-yep, the ones on your counter that are
        turning brown with some black spotsùare the ones you want to use
        for this recipe. They are much more flavorful and add more
        moistness to baked goods than bananas that are tinged green or
        have just turned bright yellow.

        "I Don't Have That"
        Contrary to popular belief, allspice is not a combination of
        spices, but is a single spice. If you don't have allspice, use
        ground cloves or nutmeg.

        Instant coffee can be labeled as granules or crystals, and either
        one will work just dandy in this recipe. If you want to go for the
        gusto, use instant espresso powder, which is about twice as strong
        in coffee flavor than regular instant coffee.

        Once opened, store instant coffee in the freezer for up to 1

NOTES : Macadamia Nuts
        These buttery-rich, slightly sweet nuts are from the macadamia
        tree, a native of Australia. Macadamia trees are also grown in
        Hawaii and California. Their shells are extremely hard; that's why
        they are always sold already shelled.

        "I Don't Have That"
        Macadamia nuts are definitely expensive, but oh so delicious when
        you decide to indulge! You don't have to use macadamias though;
        use any nut you like instead.

Food Exchanges: 1/2 Grain(Starch); 0 Lean Meat; 0 Vegetable; 0 Fruit; 1 1/2 Fat; 1 Other Carbohydrates

Serving Ideas : Make a festive dessert by cutting the brownies into 16 bars. Top with sweetened whipped cream and sprinkle with cocoa. Add a stemmed maraschino cherry for that special touch.

NOTES : Cookie Tips
        We call for chopped nuts, which allows you to pick your favorite.
        Although all types of nuts will work in this recipe, chocolate and
        walnuts seem to be a blue ribbon combination. It's always a good
        idea to sample a few nuts before adding them to your recipe to
        make sure they aren't rancid.

NOTES : Cookie Tips
        Did you know that there are different types of coconut at the
        grocery store? Look closely and notice there is flaked and
        shredded coconut. The flaked coconut is cut into small pieces and
        is much drier than shredded coconut. In fact, you could squeeze a
        handful of shredded coconut and it would stick together a bit, but
        flaked coconut is dry, like uncooked rice kernels. Either works,
        but shredded coconut will give you more moistness and chewiness.

        "I Don't Have That"
        Out of nuts? Don't fret! Just use 1 2/3 cups of coconut in the
        frosting instead of nuts and coconut.

NOTES : Cookie Tips
        When using cookie cutters with one wide end and one narrow end,
        alternate the direction of the cookie cutter as you are cutting
        out the cookies. In other words, cut out the first cookie with the
        wide end toward you, then cut out the next cookie with the narrow
        end toward you. That way, you can cut more cookies out of the
        dough.

        To save space on your wire cooling racks, do the same thing,
        alternate the direction of each cookie. The first cookie you put
        down has the wide end toward you; then put the next cookie down
        with the narrow end toward you.

NOTES : Cookie Tips
        Using honey in cookie dough makes a softer baked cookie. Why is
        that? Honey is like a sponge; it absorbs moisture from the air,
        which will make your cookies soft, even during storage.

        Make It Your Way
        Try Giant Honey-Roasted Peanut and Oat Cookies by stirring 1 cup
        of honey-roasted peanuts in with the oats, flour, soda and salt.

NOTES : Cookie Tips
        Save your cookies from the rancor of rancidity! Almond brickle
        chips can become rancid, which would spoil the taste of your
        cookies. Do a taste test of the brickle chips before adding them
        to your recipe to be sure they taste fresh. Refrigerate or freeze
        the brickle chips to help prevent rancidity.

        "I Don't Have That"
        Maple-flavored syrup can be used instead of honey.

NOTES : Cookie Tips
        You don't have to decorate your giant cookie only as a clock. For
        variety, try decorating it as a jack-o'-lantern, ladybug, face or
        anything else you like. Squeezing dough through a garlic press or
        potato ricer is very handy for making dough into "hair."

        Make It Your Way
        Create Giant Pizza Cookie Slices by pressing all the dough into
        the pizza pan or onto the cookie sheet. Use a pizza cutter to cut
        the dough into 16 wedges. After baking and cooling the pizza
        cookie, decorate with frosting and candy. Recut along the lines to
        serve the slices.

NOTES : Cookie Tips
        If you don't want to chop the crystallized ginger with a knife,
        use kitchen scissors sprayed with cooking spray and snip the
        ginger into pieces.

        Crystallized Ginger
        Crystallized ginger, also called "candied ginger," can be a bit
        pricey, but it has a flavor that ground ginger can't really
        replace. It's made by cooking fresh gingerroot in a sugar syrup
        until it soaks into the ginger through and through. It's then
        coated with granulated sugar. Crystallized ginger has a chewy
        texture.

        When you work with liquid food color, go slowly to get the exact
        shade of color you want. Add one drop at a time and mix it in the
        dough or frosting completely before adding more color.

        Food Coloring
        There are two types of food coloring widely available: liquid and
        paste. Liquid food coloring is easy to find at your supermarket.
        Paste coloring can be found in cake decorating or specialty food
        stores. Paste colors are preferred by many people because the
        colors are much more vivid than liquid colors.

        When rolling out dough, always start at the center and roll toward

        To prevent sticking, dip cookie cutters into baking mix, flour or
        powdered sugar and shake off the excess before cutting dough.

        The egg yolk paint is perfectly safe to use because the cookies
        are baked after it's been painted on.

NOTES : These rich, filled cookies celebrate the holiday of Purim, which
        honors the victory of the Jews of ancient Persia over Haman's plot
        to destroy them. Haman was an adviser to King Ahasuerus, and
        Hamantaschen are "Haman's pockets." Some Hamantaschen recipes call
        for a yeast-raised or sour cream dough; we use a short crust dough
        for tender results.

        To speed up the making of these cookies, use canned apricot or
        poppy seed filling.

NOTES : Cookie Tips
        For even more peanut butter flavor, check out our Rich Peanut
        Butter Chip Cookies variation below or Peanut Butter Hidden
        Middles (see recipe).

        Either smooth or chunky peanut butter can be used for these
        cookies. The difference between the two is the amount of
        processing. Smooth peanut butter is processed until no peanut
        pieces remain.

        Make It Your Way
        To make Rich Peanut Butter Chip Cookies, omit granulated sugar and
        use all brown sugar (1 cup) and omit shortening and use all butter
        (1/2 cup total). After you stir in the flour, baking soda, baking
        powder and salt, stir in 1 cup peanut butter chips. Shape dough
        into balls as directed. Dip tops of balls into sugar but do not
        flatten. Bake as directed.

        Making these charming cookies takes a little practice. Be prepared
        to adjust the heat and cooking time to get the desired color. Each
        hot cookie wafer is quickly rolled around a cone-shape mold. Using
        2 molds is easier; if only 1 is available, remove it from the
        cooling cookie before the next cookie is done.

        Krumkake irons can be found in the bakeware section of larger
        department stores or specialty kitchenware stores.

NOTES : Cookie Tips
        One fresh lemon will give you about 2 to 3 tablespoons of juice.
        To get the most juice out of a lemon or lime, it should be at room
        temperature. Some people zap whole lemons in the microwave on High
        for about 20 seconds or so to warm them.

        "I Don't Have That"
        For a tart-sweet treat, substitute lime juice and grated lime peel
        for the lemon juice and grated peel. For a brighter green color,
        add 4 drops green food color to the filling ingredients.

  4                     rolls (about 0.9 ounces each) ring-shaped
                        hard candy


Beat sugar, butter, vanilla and eggs in large bowl with electric mixer on
medium speed, or mix with spoon. Stir in flour, baking powder and salt.
Cover and refrigerate about 1 hour or until firm.

Heat oven to 375║. Cover cookie sheet with aluminum foil. Roll one-third
of dough at a time 1/8 inch thick on lightly floured cloth-covered
surface. Cut into desired shapes. Place 1 inch on foil. Cut out designs
from cookies, using smaller cutters or your own patterns. Place whole or
partially crushed pieces of candy in cutouts, depending on size and shape
of design, mixing colors as desired. (To crush candy, place in heavy
plastic bag and tap lightly with rolling pin; because candy melts easily,
leave pieces as large as possible.)

Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until cookies are very light brown and candy is
melted. If candy has not completely spread within cutout design,
immediately spread with knife. Cool completely on foil. Remove cookies
gently.

NOTES : Cookie Tips
        Malted milk powder isn't something you use daily, so to keep it
        tasting fresh, store the opened jar in the refrigerator or freezer
        up to 12 months. You'll find malted milk powder in your
        supermarkets with other ice-cream toppings.

        Make It Your Way
        To make Chocolate Malted Milk Cookies, substitute
        chocolate-flavored malted milk powder for the natural malted milk
        powder in both the cookie dough and frosting. To double the malt
        flavor, sprinkle frosting with coarsely crushed malted milk balls
        and press them in slightly to help them stick.

NOTES : Cookie Tips
        One of the nice things about rolled cookies is that they will wait
        until you are ready to bake them. Because the dough can always be
        refrigerated (and can be frozen, too), they're very convenient. We
        love them because they present lots of opportunity for creativity.
        Simple cookies are ideal for teaching the beginning baker how to
        handle a rolling pin.

        Make It Your Way
        Fruit-Flavored Sugar Cookies are very easy to make. Just sprinkle
        the cut out cookies with fruit-flavored gelatin instead of
        granulated sugar.

        fruits.

        Chocolate Oatmeal Lacies look elegant and sophisticated. To make
        them, drizzle tops of cookies with 1/2 cup melted semisweet
        chocolate. An easy way to drizzle chocolate is to put the melted
        chocolate in a small, resealable plastic bag. Snip off a tiny bit
        of one corner and gently squeeze the chocolate out through the
        hole. Or you can dip a fork or spoon in the melted chocolate and
        drizzle a pattern on the cookies.

NOTES : Cookie Tips
        For convenience, you can buy dried orange peel, which you can find
        in the spice section of your supermarket. Or grate several fresh
        oranges (use just the orange peel; the white part, called pith, is
        bitter) and freeze the peels in plastic freezer bags for up to 6
        months.

        Nuts stay fresh much longer if you store them in the freezer. Keep
        nuts in an airtight container with a lid or in resealable plastic
        freezer bags.

NOTES : Cookie Tips
        "Sanding" sugar is coarse decorating sugar that is often seen on
        bakery-made cookies and pastries. It can be purchased at gourmet
        food stores, cake decorating supply stores and from gourmet food
        and equipment catalogs.

        Here's how to make your own orange-colored granulated sugar: Pour
        1/2 cup granulated sugar into a resealable plastic bag. Add 3
        drops red food color and 2 drops yellow food color into sugar.
        Seal bag. Knead bag with fingers until sugar turns orange.

        Make It Your Way
        Lemon Slices or Lime Slices can be made by substituting 2
        teaspoons grated lemon or lime peel for the orange peel and yellow
        or green sanding sugar for the orange.

NOTES : Cookie Tips
        Pastel mint candies are those little pillow-shaped mints that come
        in very light, pastel shades of pink, yellow and green. They are
        commonly served at bridal and baby showers and weddings along with
        mixed nuts. Look for them in the candy aisle in your supermarket.

        Chop the mints quickly by using a food processor, or place mints
        in a resealable plastic bag and pound gently with a rolling pin
        until they look coarsely chopped.

        For even more peanut butter flavor, check out our Rich Peanut
        Butter Chip Cookies variation below or Peanut Butter Hidden
        Middles (see recipe).

        Either smooth or chunky peanut butter can be used for these
        cookies. The difference between the two is the amount of
        processing. Smooth peanut butter is processed until no peanut
        pieces remain.

        Make It Your Way
        To make Rich Peanut Butter Chip Cookies, omit granulated sugar and
        use all brown sugar (1 cup) and omit shortening and use all butter
        (1/2 cup total). After you stir in the flour, baking soda, baking
        powder and salt, stir in 1 cup peanut butter chips. Shape dough
        into balls as directed. Dip tops of balls into sugar but do not
        flatten. Bake as directed.

NOTES : Cookie Tips
        Almond brickle chips can become rancid, so be sure to do a
        "taste-test" before adding them to your recipe. Store brickle
        chips in the freezer to prevent them from becoming rancid.

        There's a handy little tool called an offset spatula or spreader.
        The "spreader" part has a bend in it, making it very easy to frost
        bars in pans. This little gem is inexpensive and can be found in
        large department stores or specialty cookware stores.

NOTES : Cookie Tips
        Dust the dough, rolling pin and work surface with just enough
        flour to keep the dough from sticking because excess flour makes
        cookies tough. Dough that is very sticky can be rolled between
        sheets of waxed paper.

        "I Don't Have That"
        You can easily replace raspberry preserves with strawberry
        preserves, and if you prefer pecans, use them instead of walnuts.

  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  3                     eggs -- beaten
  2        tablespoons  vegetable oil
     1/2      teaspoon  baking powder
     1/4      teaspoon  salt
  1 3/4           cups  all-purpose flour (1 3/4 to 2 cups)
                        Vegetable oil
                        Powdered sugar

Mix eggs, 2 tablespoons oil, the baking powder and salt in large bowl with
spoon. Gradually stir in enough flour to make a very stiff dough. Turn
onto lightly floured surface. Knead 5 minutes.

Heat oil (at least 1 inch deep) in Dutch oven to 375║. Roll half of dough
at a time as thin as possible on generously floured surface, turning dough
frequently to prevent sticking. (Dough will bounce back; continue rolling
until it stays stretched out.)

Cut dough into 3-inch squares, hexagons or circles, using pastry wheel,
knife or cookie cutter. Fold pieces into fourths. Cut random designs into
edges.* Open folded dough. Fry 2 or 3 opened dough pieces at a time about
30 seconds or until light brown. Turn quickly and fry about 30 seconds or
until light brown on other side. Drain on paper towels. Cool completely.
Sprinkle with powdered sugar just before serving.

*Cut all pieces before starting to fry, placing them on lightly floured
surface.

        For apples and spice and everything nice, try Applesauce Cookies.
        Substitute 3/4 cup applesauce for sour cream. Stir in 1 teaspoon
        ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves and 1 cup raisins with
        the flour.

        Warm-up to tropical flavor with Coconut-Sour Cream Cookies. All
        you do is substitute shredded coconut for the pecans.

        You can't work for peanuts, but you can put them in your cookies!
        Salted Peanut-Sour Cream Cookies are easy to make, just substitute
        salted peanuts for the pecans.

        Old-fashioned flavor can be found in Spice-Sour Cream Cookies. Mix
        1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon and 1/4
        teaspoon ground cloves; sprinkle over cookies before baking. Omit

NOTES : Cookie Tips
        If some of your cut-out cookies are thicker than the others, don't
        reroll the dough. Instead, place the thinner ones in the center of
        the cookie sheet and the thicker ones around the edge to get more
        even browning.

        A partly empty cookie sheet will produce unevenly baked cookies.
        If there isn't enough dough to fill a cookie sheet, use an
        upside-down cake pan.

NOTES : Nutmeg
        Nutmeg was popular throughout the world from the fifteenth to the
        nineteenth century. Nutmeg is a seed from the nutmeg tree. Whole
        nutmeg can be grated or you can buy ground nutmeg. The nutmeg seed
        also gives us a second spice called mace. The mace comes from a
        lacy membrane surrounding the seed. Mace is more pungent tasting
        than nutmeg but can be used interchangeably.

NOTES : Cookie Tips
        Generous amounts of cardamom and cinnamon give these cookies their
        spicy kick. If you prefer a milder flavor, cut the amount of
        spices in half.

        Cardamom
        Cardamom is an exotic spice with a warm, slightly pungent flavor.
        It's best to purchase the whole pods and crush the seeds as needed
        because the ground seeds quickly lose their flavor and aroma.

        Sand Dollars: Cut dough with round 3-inch cutter. Place on cookie
        sheet. Draw five-pointed star in middle of circle. Make small hole
        in center and indentations at edge of circle. After baking, brush
        with uncolored Thin Glaze; sprinkle with granulated sugar if
        desired.

        Starfish: Cut dough with five-pointed star-shape cutter. Place on
        cookie sheet. Curve tips of stars and make indentations down
        center of each starfish "arm" with knife. After baking, brush with
        tinted Thin Glaze.

        Scallops: Cut dough with scalloped 2 1/2-inch round cutter. Cut 2
        small wedges off bottom of circle to form base of shell. Draw
        curved lines across top, using knife, to form shell pattern. After
        baking, brush with tinted Thin Glaze. While glaze is still wet,
        lightly sprinkle with baking cocoa; brush to make marbled effect.

  2        tablespoons  half-and-half
                        Food coloring, if desired

Stir together 2 cups powdered sugar, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla and 2
tablespoons milk or half-and-half until smooth and spreadable. This recipe
makes enough to frost 3 to 5 dozen cookies. Add more milk for a thinner
frosting or to create a glaze. Frosting can be tinted with food color.
Stir in liquid food color, 1 drop at a time, until frosting is the desired
color. If intense, vivid frosting color is desired, use paste food color.
Why? Because you would have to use too much liquid color to get vivid
color, and using too much liquid color will break down the frosting,
causing it to separate and look curdled.

NOTES : Cookie Tips
        One of the nice things about rolled cookies is that they will wait
        until you are ready to bake them. Because the dough can always be
        refrigerated (and can be frozen, too), they're very convenient. We
        love them because they present lots of opportunity for creativity.
        Simple cookies are ideal for teaching the beginning baker how to
        handle a rolling pin.

        Make It Your Way
        Fruit-Flavored Sugar Cookies are very easy to make. Just sprinkle
        the cut out cookies with fruit-flavored gelatin instead of
        granulated sugar.

        cup each semisweet chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, vanilla
        milk (white) chips and butterscotch chips in place of 4 cups

NOTES : Cookie Tips
        In a hurry? Use the chopped dates, which are lightly coated with
        sugar to prevent sticking. If you choose to chop your own whole
        dates, try one of these methods to help prevent sticking: Spray
        your knife with cooking spray several times during chopping, run
        your knife under cold water several times during chopping or
        cut-up dates using kitchen shears sprayed with cooking spray.

        Make It Your Way
        Add some tang with the tart flavor of dried apricots. For
        Date-Apricot Bars, skip the Date Filling. In its place mix an
        8-ounce box of chopped dates, 1 1/2 cups chopped dried apricots (8
        ounces), 1/2 cup sugar and 1 1/2 cups water in saucepan. Cook over

        If you like thin, crisp cookies, the refrigerator technique is for
        you. The thinner you slice the dough, the crisper the cookies will
        be. Watch the cookies carefully while they are in the oven to
        prevent overbaking.

        To intensify the nut flavor in these cookies, toast the nuts
        before adding to the dough. To toast nuts, bake uncovered in
        ungreased shallow pan in 350║ oven about 10 minutes, stirring
        occasionally, until golden brown.

NOTES : Wonderful, warm memories and family traditions are often centered
        around the holidays. We often go the extra mile and do something
        just a little more special. For many of us, that means making
        spritz cookies. This tender, little butter cookie has passed the
        test of time.

        Cookie Tip
        These cookies are delicate and crisp with a rich, buttery flavor
        that is perfect for any occasion.

        Make It Your Way
        Chocolate Spritz are easily made by stirring 2 ounces unsweetened
        chocolate, melted and cooled, into the margarine-sugar mixture.

        To make Spice Spritz, stir in 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2
        teaspoon ground nutmeg and 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice with the
        flour.

        Toasting the oatmeal gives it a nutty flavor and slightly crunchy
        texture. Toasted oats are much lower in calories and fat than nuts
        and can be used in place of nuts in recipes such as no-bake and
        drop cookies.

NOTES : Cookie Tips
        To determine if a cheesecake is done, touch the center gently with
        your finger to see if it's still soft or if it has set (will leave
        a slight indentation). Don't be tempted to insert a knife in the
        center because the hole could cause cheesecake to crack.

        Cheesecakes that are refrigerated while still hot or warm should
        not be covered. Why? If covered before they are completely cool,
        moisture will condense and drip onto the top of the cheesecake,
        making it quite wet. Cover only after cheesecakes are completely
        cooled.

        easily, so it's important to melt them over low heat while
        stirring frequently. Don't confuse vanilla milk chips or white
        baking chocolate bars with white candy coating. White candy
        coating is also called almond bark, compound white chocolate and
        confectionery or summer coating. Candy coating contains oil versus
        cocoa butter, more sugar and lacks the rich vanilla and dairy
        flavor of the baking bars or chips.

        Vanilla Sugar
        Add even more to the flavor of these cookies by using vanilla
        sugar. Make your own by placing a piece of vanilla bean in an
        airtight container of granulated sugar for 3 to 4 days.

NOTES : Cookie Tips
        When food-processor directions state to process using on-off
        motions, it is to prevent the mixture from being overprocessed. In
        the case of nuts, overprocessing them gives you a nut paste
        instead of just ground nuts.

        The nutty taste of whole wheat flour goes great with dates. To
        make Whole Wheat-Date Cookies, decrease the brown sugar to 1/2 cup
        and substitute an 8-ounce package of chopped dates for the diced
        dried fruits and raisins.

NOTES : Cookie Tip
        Whole wheat flour contains the wheat germ, which is oily. The oil
        can become rancid, so it's best to store whole wheat flour in the
        refrigerator or freezer. It's a good idea to let the flour come to
        room temperature before using it for baking.

        Make It Your Way
        If you love the taste of cinnamon-flavored graham crackers, try
        our cookie version called Honey-Cinnamon Cookies. To make them,
        stir in 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon with the flour. Mix 2
        tablespoons granulated sugar and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon;
        sprinkle over cookies immediately after you take them out of the
        oven.
