Here's another recipe from that 1984 Woman's Day Holiday Cookie pull out. They are a Dutch bar cookie served around the holidays and are fairly easy to pull together. I think they are my favorite of all the cookies I've baked so far this season as they come out light, crispy and buttery.

The only tricky thing is spreading the sticky batter out onto a cookie sheet. The way I did it was by lining a 10 x 15 x 1 cookie sheet with parchment paper (making sure that there's overlap on all sides) and plopping the batter in the middle. When the spatula I was using failed to be an effective spreader, I got out a sheet of waxed paper, lay it on top of the batter and then scooted the batter out to the edges. It worked really well and I was glad I did it, because the batter didn't really spread out much during baking.
