Black & White Cookie
 As a
native New Yorker and as a young girl living in New York, I would use my newspaper route
money to buy one of these delicious cookies from my local bakery. Back then I didn't care
how they were made as long as I had my black and white cookie every week. I hope you enjoy
them as much as I do !
Italian Biscotti
  Holiday
time is the best season for cookies! Families usually have their favorites, whether it's
chocolate chip, shortbread or pinwheels. Here's an Italian cookie recipe that I bake
thorough out the year. Biscottis are double baked cookies that are fabulous with milk or
any warm beverage- perfect for dunking! For Christmas I dip the ends of the cookies in
melted semi-sweet chocolate and allow to harden. They are barely in the kitchen for two
days after that! They make great gifts when you combine them with the Cheerful Cookie Box!!
Almond Crescents
  Crescents are very popular, not only for the holidays, but as a
great every day cookie. I believe it was the rich buttery texture and delicious almond
fragrance that sold my kids on these cookies. They would just tell you that they taste
great! That says it all to me!
Donna's Gingerbread Cookies
 This week's Dessert of the Week is brought to us by Donna, who says,
"I am the mother of four grown children and the grandmother of six. My husband and I
farm with my son....and I gather a lot of craft ideas, games, poems, and activities to use
in my playschool. I have found this recipe for Gingerbread cookies
very good for young children to work with." Her Gingerbread cookies are a big hit
with her playschoolers and we're sure you'll love them too!
Great Grandma Cookies

from Judy Weaver. Her husband's grandmother gave Judy this recipe. These
cookies are as popular today as when Judy's hubby was a youngster! Judy's twenty year old
daughter is in college and she calls home begging for Judy to send her Great Grandma's
cookies to her!

great fun to poke each cookie ball with a toothpick, then dip into the chocolate mixture.
Watch their eyes as you hold the cookie up over the double boiler to let the excess
chocolate drip off. Make a large supply, because they will go fast.
Emma’s Peanut Butter Biscotti
by Emma Spataro
A Basset-American Chef
 
I just love baking Biscotti in the kitchen! As a Basset-American, I feel that we need to
promote the cooking from our culture too. Although we are "opposably-gripped
challenged", we can have a full cooking life too! My "thumbed" friend, Eva,
has to help me open the refrigerator and turn the knobs on the stove. Anyway, I thought
this recipe is really tasty and is great for a midnight snack!
