It is absurd to think that anything in us could have the least influence upon our election. Some say that God did foresee that such persons would believe, and therefore did choose them; so they would make the business of salvation to depend upon something in us. Whereas God does not choose us FOR faith, but TO faith. “He hath chosen us, that we should be holy,” (Ephesians 1:4), not because we would be holy, but that we might be holy. We are elected to holiness, not for it.

INGREDIENTS

2 1/4	c	Flour
1/2	ts	Baking soda
1/2		Stick butter; softened
1	c	Sugar
2		Eggs; at room temperature
1	ts	Vanilla extract
1	oz	Unsweetened baking chocolate squares, melted
1	ts	Lemon extract

INSTRUCTIONS

In a small bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir or whisk gently
to blend. In a medium bowl, with an electric mixer on medium speed, beat
butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Add
flour to butter-sugar mixture and blend well. Divide dough in half between
2 bowls. Stir chocolate into one half; stir lemon extract into the other.
Cover each bowl and refrigerate at least 1 hour, until firm. Roll out each
piece of dough between 2 pieces of wax paper into an 8 x 12-inch rectangle.
Place 1 rectangle on top of the other and roll up from a long side into a
12-inch roll. Wrap in wax paper and refrigerate until firm, at least 2
hours. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Using a sharp knife, cut dough into
1/4-inch slices. Arrange about 3 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
Bake 8 to 10 minutes, until lightly browned. Let stand 5 minutes, then
remove to a rack and let cool completely.
NOTES : These chocolate lemon spirals make any cookie plate spectacular.
