| Vintage Recipe Book ForSale I couldn't type every recipe in the book on the page, I tried to hit the highlights. The Art of Making Good Cookies Plain and Fancy A collection of recipes for cookies of all types, shapes, and sizes, and for every occaion. By Annette Laslett Ross and Jean Adams Disney. Cost 10.50 plus shipping. The above book is copyrighted 1963. Printed by Doubleday & Company, INC., Garden City, New York Once this book is sold all excerpts here will be removed. I have only printed excerpts of this book as a temptation for you to purchase the book. I am not trying to plagiarize. |
| The book starts with, "Have a Cookie!" "The invitation to "have a cookie" extends from the days of a toddler's first steps to as long as appetite continues. Nothing in sweets can match the satisfaction or versatility of this toothsome bit. Some sweet, some plain, some grand, some fanciful as a pastry chef's hat -- cookies serve many purposes. This collection of cookie recipes is arranged to give the cookie maker a quick appreciation of the varieties included. Listed by type of cookie, each recipe indicates its place--plain or fancy--in the realm of food service. this is not to say that a cookie labeled "plain" would not be a perfectly delightful finish to a company meal or that a "fancy" version could not go happily into a picnic basket. The contrast of flavors, textures and colors are of foremost consideration in menu planning and the chosen cookie will reflect this evaluation..................When a real search is on for a special cookie, the cook will do well to consult the main index." |
| The book goes on, "Baking-Use flat cookie sheets with low sides or no sides. High-sided pan prevent proper browning. us only light-colored, shiny pans. Dark or discolored pans cause cookies to burn on the bottom. There should be 2 inches from edge of pan to each side of the oven. Too large pans prevent proper heat circulation which is necessary for even baking. For best results, bake only one cookie sheet at a time on the baking shelf that is slightly below center of oven. Take cookies off sheets while hot and cool on cake rack. if some cookies (particularly those with a high ration of sugar) tend to cool and stick to pan, return sheet to oven and reheat slightly. Very rich cookies with a large amount of butter should be cooled on paper towels laid over rack. Rick cookies should be baked on an ungreased baking sheet. For other cookies, grease cookie sheet lightly. Too much shortening on cookie sheet causes excessive spreading. use shortening or oil on cookie sheet in preference to butter and margarine, which scorch more readily."

| Next Section is 'SUBSTITUTIONS - PROCEED WITH CARE' "All recipes have been perfected with the ingredients specified. However, there are some variations that may be made successfully. Others will cause failure. The rules tell which are which! FATS - If a recipe calls for butter specifically, that particular cookie is best made with butter and not a substitute. Either flavor or texture will be impaired. If, for dietary reasons, you wich to use margarine or shortening, we suggest choosing one of the many recipes calling for either of these fats. Never substitute oil for sholid shortening of any kind or vice versa. EGGS - Never substitute for eggs. There are a number of eggless recipes in the book if you need them for a restricted diet. Check in the index among the various butter cookies, molasses cookies, shortbreads and no-bake cookies. SUGARS - Brown sugar, firmly packed, may be substituted for granulated sugar or vice versa. Do not substitute in recipes calling for powdered sugar. Never substitute synthetic sweeteners for sugar in cookies or frostings."

Chapter - "FOUR SCORE OR MORE"
"Some occasions call for cookies in more than usual numbers-holiday season, teas, wedding receptions, club
and church gatherings. At times like these it is practical to start with a recipe that turns out cookies in large
numbers so that time spent measuring and mixing is kept to a minimum. You'll find a tempting array from
which to choose in the following collection.
the Butter Crisps and Rolled Cookies to Decorate both lend themselves will to varying in many ways. Divide
the one big batch into perhaps six or seven smaller batches to color, flavor, shape and decorate so that each
baking has its own personality and only you are wise to the fact that they all began as one basic dough. You'll
find specific suggestions on how to vary and trim cookies in the chapter entitled "Decoration Ideas and
Frostings."
though not quite so versatile because they have more distinctive flavor of their own, the Caramel cookies and
Molasses Drops can be varied by adding nuts, coconut, dates or other dried fruits, or by frosting them with any
icing that uses these.
The cookie mixes you may make and bake all at once, varying them according to the recipes given with each
of the basic-mix recipes-or you may store the mix on your kitchen shelf to bake as needed. here again, one
mixing produces a vast number of cookies, a time and labor saving indeed worth while. Dry mixes should be
kept absolutely airtight in a cool, dry place. Stored this way, they keep well 2 to 3 months."Chapter - "FOUR
