•«, 0 a ra <w prepared by Dally Democrat—Betty Crocker Home Department GINGER COOKIES WITH A FUTURE Crisp, rnola*se*-y ginc cookies are a welcome addition to a sehool lunch, a picnic or any occasion when cookies are In order. But did you know that you can combine these spicy, crunchy cookies with whipped cream to make a truly delightful company dessert? However, like the old recipe for hare pie that u«ed to begin “first catch your hare"—we'd better make our ginger cookie* before we start this dessert. Here is the recipe for Ginger Refrigerator f.'ookies. It's a recipe you'll find convenient to have, even though you have no occasion at present to use the dessert. It's so much easier and quicker to simply slice the cookie* from a long narrow loaf of well-chiUed cooky dough than it is to roll out the dough and cut the cookies. GINGER RFFRIGEBATOB COOKIES 1 eup shortening 4'i cups all-purpose flour 1 cun sugar 1 tsp. soda 2 eggs 1 tsp. salt ’» cup molasses 3 tsp. ginger Cream the shortening and add the sugar grsdually and cream thoroughly. Blend in the -veil beaten eggs and the molas*es. Sift four once before mea-unng. Sift flour, soda, salt and g’nger together, and stir gradually into the mixture. Mold into roll, wiati in waved paper and place in refrigerator for several hour*. Slice cookie* '« inch thick and bake about 10 minutes in a moderately bot oven. 400' F. This makes about 4 dozen cookies. KIR AN EXTRA SPECIAL DESSERT Sometime when you want a really dietingui'hed dessert with lots of character, try this Ginger Cream Roll. It ha* the advantage of being the sort of dessert you can mak,- the day before the party and have all ready to serve without any la*t minute fini-hing touches. Inal make* it an ideal dessert for the hostess without a maid. GINGER CREAM ROLL Use 20 large 3-inch cookies % inch thick and 1 pint whipping eream whipped very stiff. Blend 4 tablespoon* confectioner*' sugar into the whipped cream. Spread 1 tablespoon sweetened whipped cream over a cooky, place another cooky above it. Repeat until all cookies are u**-d. lusy roll lengthwise on platter, spreading cream evenly over side* and top. Set in refrigerator to chill at least » hour*, keeping the dessert covered if possible. Decorate with slice* of candied Ringer. Serve by cutting slice* diagonally aero** the roll. A bit of clear apricot jam on each serving add* a delicious flavor. This will make 12 to 15 serving*. Note: A teaspoon of gelatin soaked in 1 tablespoon milk and dis- | solved over hot water may be blended into the whipped eream to help it hold its shape. CaewiaM i»» W Botr Cr«sw.
