Dear Friend,
There is no aroma quite so inviting as that of cookies
baking, whether ginger or chocolate or caramel. And there is
no snack quite so satisfying as two or three fresh-from-the-
oven cookies with a cool glass of milk. Nor is there a gift
quite so welcome as a lovingly wrapped package from home,
brimming with cookies.
In this book you’ll find cookies in variety, cherished
recipes from the past and recipes using the newest convenience
products, hearty-fruit-filled cookies and dainty decorated
ones. First come the basic how-to’s of cooky-making called
the Cooky Primer. The Family Favorites chapter is chock
full of cookies for lunchtime, snacktime, anytime—such good
eating that we call them disappearing cookies. Following are
Company-Best Cookies for teatime, some of them from far-
off lands.
Remembering the motto “happy the home with the full
cooky jar,” we hope you’ll turn to this book often.
Cordially,
