Any and every time we indulge in pornography, we deny the precious gospel truth that every man and woman possesses inherent dignity, not to be solicited and sold for sex, but to be valued and treasured as excellent in the eyes of God. People are not inferior objects to be used and abused for selfish, sexual, sensual pleasure; they are equal image bearers of the God who loves and cares for them. We may scoff at how pre-Civil War churchgoers justified slaves in their backyards, but aren't we dangerously like them when we participate in pornography (and promote the sex slavery to which it is inextricably tied) in our own homes?

INSTRUCTIONS

(Cooking Light)
1. Combine the first 3 ingredients in a bowl, and set aside. Beat margarine
at medium speed of a mixer until light and fluffy. Gradually add sugar,
beating at medium speed of a mixer until well-blended. Add vanilla and egg
white, and beat well. Add flour mixture, and stir until well-blended. Turn
dough out onto wax paper, and shape into a 6-inch log. Wrap log in wax
paper, and freeze for 3 hours or until very firm.
2. Preheat oven to 350°.
3. Cut log into 24 (1/4-inch) slices, and place slices 1 inch apart on a
baking sheet coated with cooking spray. (For slicing, they recmmend either
using dental floss, or a sharp knife). Bake at 350° for 8 to 10 minutes.
Remove from pan, and cool on wire racks. Yield: 2 dozen (serving size: 1
cookie).
Variations: CHOCOLATE ICEBOX COOKIES: Reduce flour to 3/4 cup and add 1/4
cup unsweetened cocoa powder with the dry ingredients.
PEANUT BUTTER ICEBOX COOKIES: Reduce margarine to 3 Tablespoons, add 2TB
peanut butter, and change the 2/3 cup sugar to 1/2 cup brown sugar +
1/4    cup granulated sugar.
BROWN SUGAR ICEBOX COOKIES: Instead of the granulated sugar, use 2/3 cup
brown sugar.
LEMON-CORNMEAL ICEBOX COOKIES: Reduce flour to 3/4 cup and add 1/4 cup
yellow cornmeal with the dry ingredients. Also, increase the 2/3 cup
granulated sugar to 3/4 cup, and add 2 tsp grated lemon rind with the wet
ingredients.
There are even additional variations listed in the magazine under each of
the above categories which I won't include - but they all sound yummy! I
highly recommend this double issue - thumb through it at the store. I am
not affiliated with Cooking Light, I'm just a happy subscriber.
