               Candy Cane Cookies 
               Ginnilee P. Berger
              
              
              These are normal sugar cookies with crushed candy cane pieces
              added. A perfect recipe to make with children. 
              ¼lb. Butter 
              ¾ cup sugar 
              1 egg 
              1 tsp. Vanilla 
              1 Tbs. Cream 
              1 ¼ cup flour 
              1/8 tsp. Salt 
              ¼ tsp. Baking powder 
              1 jumbo candy cane stick 
              Preheat the oven to 350F. Crush the candy cane with a hammer
              inside a heavy cloth sack. Cream the butter and gradually add the
              sugar, beating until light. Add the egg, vanilla and cream,
              beating thoroughly. Mix the flour, salt and baking powder
              together, adding it to the first mixture and blend. Add the candy
              cane- if using a mixer -be careful when adding the candy cane, you
              may need to add a little more vanilla and cream if it gets too
              stiff. This is often difficult to mix by hand, so I do advise
              using a stand mixer rather than a hand mixer. 
              When everything is mixed, take a superball sized piece of
              dough, rolling it between your hands into a snake form, then place
              on cookie sheet and shape into traditional candy cane crook shape.
              Taking a round-handled wooden spoon, press diagonally across the
              candy cane to make an indent, then sprinkle indents with red dyed
              sugar crystals. Very popular with children and adults alike.

                Sugar 
                Cookies 
                Submitted by Jane
                 
                I have a great
                sugar cookie recipe! We all love them, soft and chewy and
                moist....
                
              
                           
                Its also an easy recipe to do. 
                        
                
               
              
                In a bowl, toss in;
               
              
                1/2 cup of butter
               
              
                1/2 cup of shortening
               
              
                   cream it 
                
               
              
                Then toss in;
               
              
                1 cup sugar
               
              
                1 tsp. vanilla
               
              
                1 egg 
                mix together till creamy
               
              
                 
               
              
                Then put in;
               
              
                3/4 tsp. salt
               
              
                1/2 tsp. baking soda
               
              
                Mix...
               
              
                Then slowly add 2 1/2 cups of flour.
               
              
                  Mix till smooth.
               
              
                Finally add 2 TBLS. of milk, mix
                again.
               
              
                 
               
              
                Drop onto an ungreased cookie sheet
                by spoon, dip the bottom of a smooth cup or custard cup onto one
                of the cookies to get it greasy, then dip into sugar.
               
              
                  Use this cup to flatten each
                cookie, dipping it into the sugar for each cookie.
               
              
                   Bake at 400 degrees for
                7 mins.
               
              
                If you like a crisper cookie, bake
                for 9 to 10 minutes.
