[Illustration] “_Cooky Shines_” Won’t you come into our Kitchen and join us in our “Cooky Shines?” That used to mean tea parties—but it’s what _we_ call our Staff sessions of cooky baking. We have lots of fun trying out all the delicious cookies that come to us from many lands. I’d like to show you some of the cookies most popular with Staff members and friends who have shared their favorite recipes with us. You’ll see many varieties in the color picture on the next page. Please take a look—then turn back. _New, Easy, Double-Quick Way_ [Illustration: _DOUBLE-QUICK_] Don’t all those cookies look tempting? And they’re ever so easy to make! For we’ve worked out a new simplified method—a _double-quick_ method! Takes less than _half_ the usual mixing time! Would you like to know the secret? Then turn to the step-by-step pictures following. Imagine _you_ are standing right beside one of our Staff while she makes cookies. Could anything be easier? There’s no laborious creaming, no separate beating of eggs, only one bowl! Just a few simple basic steps. _More and Better Help_ Now turn to the recipe pages, and have the fun of making the many different types of cookies. You’ll find all the little pointers you would notice if you were right in our kitchen. For instance, there’s a _brand-new feature_ which I think will be a big help to you. We tell how to judge _when the cookies are done_. And don’t miss the recipes marked with a ★! They are special favorites with our Staff! _The “Key” Recipe Makes You Master of Many_ [Illustration] You’ll love the new plan of _key recipes_ with variations. When you master the key ( (KEY) ) recipe you’ll automatically know how to make _several different kinds_ of cookies. And notice that each recipe calls for our all-purpose Gold Medal “_Kitchen-tested_” Enriched Flour. This is to safeguard your results. Because you see, every recipe has been developed with and for this particular flour—and tested in representative homes—with Gold Medal. It gives that moist, full-flavored quality everyone _wants_ in cookies.
