I also had a letter from one reader, saying that she bad pot been able to make brownies and walnut wafers, though she followed my rec ipe exactly. I, myself, have made them hundreds of times, and always with success. If you have tried walnut wafers, you have probably discovered that care must be used In removing them from pans after they have been baked. They must cool for a mo ment before they are hard enough to be lifted with a spatula. If you let them stand too lohg, they will get brittle. In this case they may be put back in the oven for a mo ment to soften. A little experience will show you that even this one difficulty Is not hard to overcome. So far as the brownies are con cerned, I often call this recipe my foolproof recipe. A critic said the brownies were^not hard at the end of 30 minutes in a moderate oven. Brownies should never be hard. They should be soft whenever taken out of the oven. i I am going to give you a real treat In some of -the recipes I publish to day. They have been sent in to md by a generous reader who has trans lated from her German cook book several of her best recipes which have been tried out year after year at holiday and at other times. I know you will appreciate, as I do, her kindness in sharing them with us. I am giving you by request of a reader, a recipe for one of the most modern types of cookies; the so- called ice box or refrigerator recipe. The dough for these cookies may be shaped Into rolls, wrapped In wax paper and stored almost indefinitely In the refrigerator. Whenever you desire a hot cookie, slice the dough with a sharp, hot knife, and bake. This recipe calls for dates and nuts. You may vary It by using other fruits which, however, must always be chopped very fine or run through a meat grinder, so that the rolls may be easily sliced. Sometimes the dough Is packed into a small bread pan and sliced in oblongs. If yon compare German recipes with this you will notice that they also use « very easy way for forming cookies. In several of these recipes the dough Is rolled into small balls, placed on baking sheets on wide!) It will spread Into rounds. - The (Hied cookies, or Christmas balls, as they are called, are most attractive ttttle rakes. I know you will like the chocolate macaroons as well.
