I can't find my old Betty Crocker Cooky Book. It had a recipe called Cooky-Candies I believe. It was a small, hand formed shortbread type recipe that you baked, cooled, dipped in melted choclate and rolled in sprinkles, nuts, coconut, etc. Would love to make these for the neighbors children for Christmas.
Thanks!!

Straight from the original Betty book:
Colorful Cookies
1 3oz. package of fruit-flavored gelatin
1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup margarine or butter, softened
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
Heat oven to 350*. Reserve 1 tablespoon of dry gelatin for the glaze. Mix remaining gelatin, powdered sugar, and margarine. Stir in flour and salt. Shape dough into 1" balls. Place about 2" apart on ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake until set but not brown, 8 - 10 minutes. Cool slightly; remove from cookie sheet, then cool completely.
Glaze: Mix 1 tablespoon of gelatin and 3 tablespoons of hot water. Let stand 5 minutes. Stir in 2 cups of powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla until smooth and of desired consistency.
Dip tops of cookies into glaze. Decorate with coconut, nuts, cherries, colored sugar, sprinkles, candies, or chocolate as desired.
Makes about 4 1/2 dozen cookes, 80 calories per cookie.
You can skip the gelatin in the cookies if you want straight shortbread, and you can substitute dipping chocolate or cake frosting for the glaze if you want.
Enjoy!

This is the one from the Betty Crocker website, hope it's the right one, as it's the only one that calls for V8........ 1 pound lean beef boneless sirloin steak 1 bag (16 ounces) frozen stew vegetables, thawed 1 can (15 ounces) chunky garlic-and-herb tomato sauce 1 can (14 1/2 ounces) 99% fat-free beef broth 2 cans (5 1/2 ounces each) spicy eight-vegetable juice (V8) 1. Remove fat from beef. Cut beef into 1/2-inch cubes. 2. Spray 10-inch skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium-high heat. Cook beef in skillet about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until no longer pink. 3. Stir in remaining ingredients. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Enjoy!!! Christopher

This one is from my 1974 Betty Crocker Cookbook...
"Galaxy Cookies" - 20 to 25 cookies
1/2 cup butter or margarine; softened
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tbsp. vanilla
Food color, if desired
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/8 tsp. salt
Dates, nuts, semisweet chocolate pieces and candied or maraschino cherries
Icing (below)
Heat oven to 350*. Mix thoroughly butter, sugar, vanilla and few drops food color. Work in flour and salt until dough holds together. (If dough is dry, mix in 1 to 2 tablespoons light cream.)
Mold dough by tablespoonfuls around date, nut, cherry or a few chocolate pieces. Place cookies about 1" apart on ungreased baking sheet. Bake 12-15 minutes or until set but not brown.
Cool; dip tops of cookies into Icing. If desired, decorate with coconut, nuts, colored sugar, candies, chocolate pieces or chocolate shot.
(NOTE: Do not use self-rising flour in this recipe.)
ICING: Mix 1 cup confectioners' sugar, 2 1/2 tbsp. light cream or 1 1/2 tbsp. milk and 1 tsp. vanilla until smooth. If desired, stir in a few drops food color.
For a chocolate icing, increase light cream to 3 tbsp. or milk to 2 tbsp. and stir in 1 ounce melted unsweetened chocolate (cool).
VARIATIONS -
Brown Sugar Galaxy Cookies: Substitute 1/2 cup brown sugar (packed) for the confectioners' sugar and omit food color.
Chocolate Galaxy Cookies: Omit food color and stir 1 ounce melted unsweetened chocolate (cool) into butter mixture.
