3/4 cup boiling water |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
Directions:
1. Soak gelatin in 1/2 cup cold water.
2. Boil sugar with boiling water until syrup tests thread stage.
3. Add softened gelatin to syrup and let stand until partly cooled.
4. Add salt and vanilla, then beat until fluffy and stiff.
5. Spread mixture on cookies, then dip into flaked coconut or crushed corn flakes.
6. Let set before storing.
7. Place wax paper between layers of cookies to keep them from sticking together.
8. For candy, put into a greased cake pan and let it set.
9. After it has set, cut into 1 inch pieces, dipping them into coconut, corn flakes crumbs, crushed nuts or what you like.
