Show Warm Weather Soft Cookies ! m7 - . I m Children expected? Oatmeal cookies are in order. And a party setting of some kind. Glass cups, holding red fruit-flavored gelatin gela-tin "set on a slant" are the party 'surprise.' Stack a circus elephant ele-phant pretzel-stick with these chewy oatmeal cooky rings. Use the stick to store the cookies as well as to serve them, because the recipe bakes up soft and tender, and the flavor seems to improve in the humid air of July. Breakfast cereals are excellent for ingredient in-gredient use in recipes and make nutritional contributions of protein, pro-tein, important B vitamins, essential minerals, and food energy.
