[Sca-cooks] OOP: Looking for cookie recipe

[Beth Harper]

I know exactly the cookie you're thinking of, but have no idea what the
name of it is either! If you have access to one, I'd browse the Christmas
cookies article in one of those wonderfully nostalgic multivolume cooking
encyclopedias published by women's magazines in the '60s and '70s - Women's
Day or Better Homes and Gardens, maybe. I'd bet it would be there.

Good luck!
