Kisses

Beat the whites of three fresh eggs to a stiff froth, then mix with it five spoonfuls of finest white sugar, and flavor with essence of lemon. Have ready a nice pan buttered, in which lay white paper, and drop them on it with a teaspoon, and sift sugar over them. Bake in a slow oven half an hour. This measure will make a cake-basket full.

Macaroons

Blanch a half a pound of sweet almonds, and pound them fine with a little rose-water or orange-flower water. Beat very stiff the whites of three eggs, and stir in half a pound of powdered sugar. Mix well, and then add the almonds. Drop with a teaspoon upon buttered tin sheets, sift fine sugar over, and bake in a slack oven.

Cocoanut Drops

Grate a cocoanut, and weigh it, then add half the weight of powdered sugar, and the white of one egg cut to a stiff froth. Stir the ingredients together, then drop the mixture with a dessert spoon upon buttered white paper, or tin sheets, and sift sugar over them. Bake in a slow oven fifteen minutes.

Fruit Jumbles

To one heaping cup of butter, put two of sugar, three and a half of flour, half a cup of milk, three eggs, a cup of currants, and half a teaspoonful of saleratus. Grate in half a nutmeg. Bake in broad, shallow pans, and cut the sheets in square pieces while warm.
