I am afraid there are Calvinists, who, while they account it a proof of their humility that they are willing in words to debase the creature, and to give all the glory of salvation to the Lord, yet know not what manner of spirit they are of. Whatever it be that makes us trust in ourselves that we are comparatively wise or good, so as to treat those with contempt who do not subscribe to our doctrines, or follow our party, is a proof and fruit of a self-righteous spirit. Self-righteousness can feed upon doctrines, as well as upon good works; and a man may have the heart of a Pharisee, while his head is stored with orthodox notions of the unworthiness of the creature and the riches of free grace.

CATEGORY	CUISINE	TAG	YIELD
Eggs	Danish	Cookies, Usenet	2	Dozen

INGREDIENTS

1/2	c	Butter (unsalted), at room temperature
1/2	c	Sugar, granulated
1 1/2	c	Flour, white
1	lg	Egg
1	ts	Vanilla extract
1 1/2	ts	Baking powder

INSTRUCTIONS

Beat the butter with the sugar.  Add the egg and vanilla and beat until you
get a uniform mixture.  Mix the flour and baking powder and gradually blend
them into the mixture. When you're done, you should have a rather sticky
dough.
Shape the dough into balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Roll them in sugar
and place them on an ungreased cookie sheet, leaving about an inch of space
between cookies, so that they don't stick together when they expand.
Bake in preheated oven at 350 degrees F. for 20 minutes. Remove from oven,
let them cool for a while, and start eating right away.
  NOTES:
*  After reading the ingredients on a can of imported Danish butter
cookies, I thought: "Hey! I can do this myself!", so I developed the
following recipe. It doesn't resemble the original too much, but
considering that the cookies don't stay around for more than two days, and
that even my mother liked them, they must be good! Yield: Makes 2-3 dozen
cookies.
: Difficulty:  Easy.
: Time:  20 minutes preparation, 20 minutes baking.
: Precision:  measure the ingredients.
