Statesman Woman's Editor
Last nieht we started on our Christmas cookie-najrinf rout
ine and thought ourselves pretty foresighted. jj '-'
, - Most people have their Javorites and each year like to add
a new kind to the list, and take off one that's proved less popu
S lar than others. Our list usually includes Springerle, those anise
flavored cookies that children love and grownups go for with :
enthusiasm; Berliner Kranz, a buttery Norwegian creation made
to form a wreath and decorated with tiny colored candies; Pep
pernuts, our favorite, being a tooth-cracking hard ball with f as-
cinating flavor, and Scotch shortbread which we make in very
- small fancy shapes.!' " j 1 fl I ';. .
Peppernuts have already been made, and because they're so
popular, are depleted even before the first of December. They're
the least expensive of the lot, and often I think the most intrigu-

Last night's activities centered around Berliner Kranz and
even extended into this morning, for-they have to stand over
. night . . i i- t S '' w . 1 "'
Here's the way the delicate little cookies are made. They'll
take several hours, so count oh plenty of time to make them.
' ' - ; BERLINER KRANZ . ,
4 raw egg yolks , .; ; ' 1 pound butter
-2 cups confectioner's sugar:' 7 cups, flour j
3 hard cooked egg yolks I v I i Vanilla j
Whip raw yolks as well as possible with sugar, add mashed
yolks with some of the butter. Add the remaining ingredients,
roll out in long rolls about the size of the little finger. Cut in
or 4 inch lengths, cross ends like a wreath, bake in a 350 de
gree oven after wiping the .top with egg white and dipping 'in
colored sugar or decorative candies. Let stand overnight before
baking if convenient These are very delicate but not especially
breakable cookies. .; f )
- My recipe for peppernuts is different' from1 others, yet I've
never found one so good. "I !r
I don't know where the jrecipe came from, though I've bad it
lor well over 20 years and have scarcely missed a year in mak
ing them at holiday-time. Today, when looking over some cook
books, I ran cross an identical recipe in. a very jgood book devot
ed entirely to cookies. Though I've nojt tried all the cookie re
cipes, all that I have tried and given to others have proved very
. good. My faith in the book is even greater now that the author
.,- recommends this peppernut J : V 1
There Is one slight difference in the recipe, and I believe
we used to do it years ago. She suggest) that the cookies be al-
lowed to stand overnight before making, then? each be turned
over, a drop of water be put on the top before baking, so they'll
t putty on top. I j. I . f

1 i 4 tablespoons candied lemon
t . peel .
; v j 1 teaspoon nutmeg
K , 1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder jj .
Beat eggs, sugar and spices thoroughly together. Add flour
and baking powder sifted together, then add peel and mix welL
Knead on a board, make dough in small balls and bake on greas
ed tins at 300 to 350 for a few minutes until a pale brown. These
cookies are very hard but have good flavor. They soften some
what upon being stored in a tight tin. J

goslavia's plan for cashing in bn
the wanderlust of ' Europe's capi
talistic vacationers has paid jhigh
dividends this summer. 1 j
Official figures set the. July
tourist trade at 70 per cent; higher
than that for the corresponding
; month of last year, and well above
the prewar average, i U
Most of. the tourists come here
for their holidays fronx West Ger
many. Austria. Great Britain and
the United States, but there has
been substantial increase in
. visitors from Britain, Denmark,
Norway, The Netherlands, Sweden
and Turkey. ,
A junket to Yugoslavia has both
plus and minus points for the aver
; age tourist ': ' S
On the plus side, there! is the
- comparatively low cost of spend
ing a vacation, probably the low
est of any country in Europe with
the possible exception of Spain.
Nursing dinars and avoiding the
more expensive sea, lake and
mountain spots, - a tourist could
"see" Yugoslavia on less than S10
a day. j I
v And there is much to see in this
country Marshal Tito split from
Moscow. A budget-minded, tourist
could arrange a program ranging
from mountain climbing to swim
ming in the beautiful Adriatic,
frcm fishing in the sparkling
mountain streams of Slovenia to
inspecting old forts and churches
dating back to the time of; Christ
But there are bad marks on the
"tourist ledger. Except foij a few
- main highways, the roads; in Yu
goslavia resemble winding dow
lanes encrusted - with cast - off
horseshoe nails. In the so-called
"luxury" spots and there are few
; of these hotels are overcrowded
and expensive. ; ! j ' 5
'In the smaller communities,
toilet facilities are Inadequate at
best with little hot water, and soap
is available only if you provide it
yourself. Service is bad and meals
