and cookies made from dry bread.
The biscuits are put thru food chop

knife that is used when nuts are

for cake and the coarser for drop
cookies. For a plain cake one-third of
the usual amount of flour is left out
and the crumbs used in its place.
The coarser crumbs are used for drop
cookies and no flour is required. The
cookies have the appearance of nut
cookies and are very pleasing in taste.
The cookie recipe is:
One egg, u cup sugar, 1 1-3 cups
coarse, dried biscuit crumbs, 1-3 tea
spoon salt, a teaspoon vanilla and
6 tablespoons cOcoanut. If one pre-
