Because I wanted crisp cookies, I used wholesome , Cottolene—two-thirds cup— with this new recipe: 2 cups sugar 2 egg* * 1 teaspoon soda 1 cup buttermilk 1 teaspoon salt Flour Caraway seeds Raisins % Soon I was mighty busy pulling those crisp wafers out of the hot oven. Then I tasted. The first bite took me back under the old plum tree in California. Maybe it was a cherry tree— anyway, there I was. Over the fence leaned the plump next-door lady. She was giv ing “us children” cookies. And here I was.nvay oft in New York, tasting them again —the same cookies. Perhaps you had a plump next-door lady ? Maybe you’d like to travel backward a few x years to some loved sgot? Well —“open your mouth and shut your eyes." And after you’ve tasted these wholesome Cot tolene cookies I’m sure you’ll say, “Please give me your recipe. 1'r.; going to make cookies, too, today."
