crystal what?

In Chicago lately there has been a lot of talk about meth labs. What are these people worried about?! There is another, more pressing problem out there. Actually, itis on my diningroom table!

Go get Sarah. She's making crack.

You should too.

Eva Jersild's Pebbernodder

This makes a stiff, heavy dough that, by the third cup of flour, is difficult to mix. I've burned out more than one hand mixer during pebbernodder season. Grandma Jersild use to do it all by hand.

1 1/2 cups brown sugar
1 cup butter
1 egg
1 tablespoon molasses
3 cups flour
2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ginger
1 teaspoon cardamom
1 teaspoon cloves
pinch pepper

Cream together brown sugar, butter and molasses. Add egg and mix.

Sift together flour and spices. Gradually add to butter mixture, beating until combined.

Chill dough until firm and easy to work with. Pinch off palm-sized piece and roll into a strip about the width of a pencil. Chop into half-inch pieces. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown.

Cookies are crack, people!!
