Potato Chip Cookie Mix in a Jar

1 cup white sugar
1 & 1/2 cups crushed potato chips
2/3 cup chopped pecans
2 & 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder

In a small bowl, stir together the flour and baking powder. Layer ingredients in order given in a 1 quart “wide mouth” canning jar. It will be a tight fit. Press each layer firmly in place before adding next ingredient.

Decorate the jar and attach a tag with the following directions:

Empty jar of cookie mix into large mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly. Add: 2 sticks butter, softened and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Mix until blended completely. Shape into balls the size of walnuts. Flatten. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 14 to 18 minutes until edges are very lightly browned. Cool 5 minutes on the cookie sheets. Remove cookies to wire racks to cool completely.

In contrast to the preceding recipes, these recipes have more ingredients and require more preparation time, but if you’ve got the time, they’re worth it. If you want to minimize time in the kitchen using these recipes, here are some suggestions.

Tips for Saving Time in the Kitchen

_To halve baking time, select boneless chicken breasts. Cooking time is only 15-20 minutes at 350oF. A bone-in breast takes 35-45 minutes.

_Stir fry chicken can be done in as little as 4 minutes.

_Cook double batches and freeze the extras in serving size packages. On days when time is short, pop a package into the microwave for “fast food.”

_Take advantage of your supermarket’s time-saving convenience items. If you’re in a hurry, don’t bother to slice and chop your fresh ingredients. The salad bar has probably done it for you. You can also find time savers such as shredded cheese and frozen chopped onion. (The supermarket industry has watched restaurants and fast food stores take more and more of your food dollars away each year. They’re now doing everything they can think of to reverse this trend and make supermarket shopping so attractive, quick, convenient and economical that you’ll want to cook at home.)

_Learn to cook chicken in the microwave. A pound of broiler parts that would take 40 minutes in a 350 degree oven takes only 6-10 minutes in the microwave. See Chapter Four, Chicken in the Microwave.

It is said that “Any fool can make a salad,” but all salads are not

made by fools. “Mixing” comes by intuition, and the successful cooks

use the ingredients, judgment, and their own tastes, rather than the

recipe.

Any number of salads and fillings for sandwiches for home use, teas or

receptions, can be made at little cost and trouble, by using the

following simple recipe for dressing. The secret of success of the

dressing lies in the mixing of the ingredients:

Powder the cold yolks of four hard boiled eggs; then stir in one

tablespoon even full of common mustard, one-half teaspoonful of salt,

and two heaping tablespoonfuls of pulverized sugar. When mixed

thoroughly, add three tablespoonfuls of good table oil, and stir

rapidly for three minutes; then add six tablespoonfuls of good, sharp

vinegar, and stir for five minutes. Now you will have dressing

sufficient for a dozen or fifteen plates of salad, and one that will

keep in a cool place for weeks.

LETTUCE SALAD.

Add to the above dressing just before serving, one pound of crisp

lettuce, cut in one-half inch squares, or sliced fine. Garnish the

dish or dishes with the white of the egg, chopped fine, to which add

the thin slices of two or three small radishes.

BROILED MUSHROOMS ON TOAST

Trim off the stalks of the required
quantity of large mushrooms, peel, score them once across the top, place
them on a gridiron and grill over a slow fire, turning when done on one
side. Trim the crusts off some slices of bread and toast on both sides.
Cut rounds out of the toast the same size as the mushrooms, butter them
and place a mushroom on each. Put a lump of butter in each mushroom and
sprinkle over with salt and pepper. Place a fancy dish-paper on a hot
dish, and serve the mushrooms-on-toast, with a garnish of fried parsley.Christmas Recipes
