Mix well. Shape rounded teaspoon of mixture into balls. Make a dent in the
center. Place on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper.

Winner Shere Case of Hickory Hills describes her cookie entry: "Holiday
preparation usually starts in September and continues until the night
before Christmas. I have been doing this for almost 18 years, and each
year I add more recipes. This particular cookie, passed on to me by my
sister inlaw, Diana Forkash of Wisconsin, ranks among the favorites of
the family and friends. It looks absolutely gorgeous on a plate, tastes
wonderful and is absolutely the easiest thing to make. There is no baking
time involved, and you can sit down on the job and enjoy doing them."
