JEWEL BARS
2 cups sifted flour 3 eggs, well beaten
1/4 teaspoon salt 2 cups brown sugar
1 teaspoon powdered cinnamon gumdrops
1/4 cup evaporated milk
1/4 teaspoon ice small
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg 1/2 cup chopped nuts
Sift the flour, salt and spices together. Beat the eggs until light then beat in the sugar and milk gradually. Add the flour mixture in thirds, beating until smooth after each addition. Add the candy and nuts, saving a few gumdrops for decoration.
Spread the dough in a greased pan and bake in a moderate oven (325° F.) for thirty-five minutes. Remove from the oven and cut into bars. Spread the top with frosting and the rest of the candy. This makes two dozen or more bars.
PEANUT COOKIES
1 pound salted, roasted 1 cup sugar
peanuts 2 eggs, beaten
3 tablespoons flour
Mix the flour with the peanuts which have been crushed with a rolling pin. Add the sugar to the beaten eggs and mix with the peanuts and flour. Drop by small teaspoonfuls on a greased cookie sheet and bake ten to twelve minutes in a moderate oven (375° F.). These cookies become very crisp when cold and must be kept in an airtight container to hold their crispness. They are grand with a fruit drink or cold milk.
WALNUT PEAKS
1 pound finely chopped black 1 pound granulated sugar
walnuts 3 egg whites, beaten stiff
Mix all ingredients, form in small peaks and bake on a greased cookie sheet, ten to twelve minutes, in a moderate oven (350° F.). This makes about forty-five cookies.

When done, turn this out to cool. Cut in narrow strips and roll each in powdered sugar. This makes about three dozen strips.
CORNFLAKE MACAROONS
2 egg whites, beaten stiff 1/2 pound dry coconut
1/8 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup granulated sugar 3 cups cornflakes
Beat the egg whites, add the salt and then the sugar and other ingredients. After the cornflakes are in the mixture, if the dough is too wet, add more cornflakes. Pinch into little cones or piles on a buttered pan. Bake in a hot oven (425° F.) about five minutes, until browned. Let stand in the pan to cool. This makes four dozen or more.
