Something Refreshing Continued from page 40 contribute toward the general economy by using, for variety in flavor and decoration, left-over fruits which might otherwise be wasted. The basic recipe for the fruit-topped cookies illustrated at the beginning of this article, substitutes coconut for sweetening and uses orange juice for liquid. Orange Coconut Cookies IVz cups flour y2 tsp. baking soda y4 tsp. salt % cup shortening 1 cup granulated sugar 2 eggs 1 cup shredded coconut, minced fine % cup orange juice, fresh or canned Sift together flour, baking soda and salt. Cream shortening, add sugar, and cream together thoroughly, beat eggs stiff and add to creamed mixture. Add flour mixture, alternately with orange juice, a little at a time. Add coconut. Roll out, cut into desired shape, decorate with fruit and bake in hot oven (400 degrees F.) 12 to 15 minutes. You can make large round cookies topped with cooked peach halves or cooked dried apricots. Form some in diamond shapes and deck with chopped dried prunes (all fruits must be very well drained). Or roll the dough very thin, spread one layer with jam and add a second layer of dough for some "sandwich cookies." Twists are formed from two strips of rolled dough twisted together and rolled in fine minced coconut. Here's how to make old-fashioned molasses cookies which are new-fashioned now because they make so little demand on our sugar quota. Old-Fashioned Molasses Cookies SYz cups sifted flour 1 tsp. baking powder 1 tsp. baking soda 1 tsp. salt 2 tsps. cinnamon 1 tsp. ginger Vz tsp. cloves % cup shortening % cup brown sugar, packed firm 1 egg % cup molasses % cup sour milk (or buttermilk) Sift together dry ingredients. Cream shortening, add sugar and cream together thoroughly. Add egg, then molasses and blend well. Add flour mixture, alternately with sour milk, a little at a time. Bake in moderate oven (350 degrees F.) about 12 minutes. These may be made as drop cookies if desired. They are delicious as a dessert served fresh from the oven with cinnamon flavored whipped cream, equally delicious when cold. They may be decorated with fruit by following some of the suggestions given above. Another variety of cookies are called chocolate almond thins but they could just as well be called chocolate walnut or pecan thins for these nuts may be substituted for almonds. Chocolate Almond Thins Vz cup shortening 1 cup sugar Vz tsp. salt 1 tsp. vanilla 2 well beaten eggs 3 ounces chocolate, melted % cups sifted flour % cup chopped almonds Whole pecans for garnish Cream shortening, add other ingredients, one by one, in the order in which they are given, blending well after each addition.
