COWBOYS COOKIES

Nagy writes that in September she and two friends, Amanda and

Patty, took a real vacation, one where they left the eastern shore flew out to New Mexico. Nagy said she sat at a window seat right over the

right wing and saw to it that it stayed right where it belonged and did its

job very well.

They had to go through St Louis to get to Albuqueque to rent a car

to drive to Santa Fe where they wants to go. There they stayed at the

Inn of Governors on Don de Perala Street for the week. Santa Fe was

into the second day of a three day Fiesta Zozobra which ended at the

craft fair market where silver jewelry was on a last day sale. Great price

reductions were had.

She enjoyed the mountains, said they looked like castles and forts,

there were the Indian cliff dwellings. They rode the Cumbres & Toltes

railway to see scenic Colorado mountains and lots of cattle which got on the tracks and held up the train trip. We liked the people as they were

very nice and wished us “via con Dios.

Here is this months recipe for Cowboy Cookies which my kids

loved because they thought cowboys actually ate them.

A cup of granulated sugar, a cup of brown sugar, a cup of shortin, and

cream, 'add' two eggs,, drop or two of vanilla, all sifted together three

times, then add to the creamy stuff. 2 cups of flour, pinch of salt, some

baking soda, stir, , two or three cups of oatmeal, chocolate chips and

flaked coconut to your likin. Drop by the tablespoon on a greased

baking sheet, bake for ten minutes at 340 degree in oven.
