Date: Thu, 8 Aug 1996 15:43:56 -0700 (PDT) My Aunt Charlotte gave me this recipe which is based on the treats her Mother (my Grandmother) used to make for us. My favorite was the "Onion Pletzl Cookie" which is a savory sweet Gramma used to bake and bring to our house--usually in a shoe-box lined with wax paper.<G> Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Mix dry ingredients, then add liquids. Blend well, and let stand for one hour. Divide dough in half, and roll (on wax paper or lightly floured board) til you have a sheet about ⅛" thin. Place on a cookie sheet and using a pizza cutter or knife, cut diagonally into diamonds (repeatedly criss-crossing sheet.) You *can* cut them with a cookie cutter or water- glass into rounds, but this is a quick, virtually fool-proof method.

Bake in 400 degree oven 10 to 20 minutes, depending on your oven. Cookies should be a dark tan color.
