The Request:
"I have a friend
who died in 1990- when we were kids in the late 70’s, we always made a cookie at
Christmas at her house. The family lost the recipe. I feel sure it was one from
one of those Pillsbury or other brand-related cookbooks of the 60’s-70’s, but I
am not sure why I feel so sure of this. Anyway, I’m going to describe the
recipe, and hope that maybe someone knows it. Thanks in advance; I’ve been
looking for this since 1990 to no avail. The recipe was generally a basic
shortbread variation, nothing fancy. You shaped the dough into a ball, and you
put several chocolate chips inside as you shaped the ball, so that they baked in
the middle. I think you then dipped the tops of the dough balls into round candy
sprinkles. Then bake, that’s it. Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions
on other ways to search. Lucinda" Found by Colleen.
