Thank you for the recipe, Claudia! I will use it next time. The
recipe came frome my usually trustworthy Betty Crocker Cookbook,
but I'd rather not play with that recipe again.

Again, thank you for the recipe. I will be using it very soon.
I am in the process of experimenting to see what I can do for the
holidays. I want to be able to prepare a decent variety of cookies,
candies, and snacks by then.
