GRAD COOKIES RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Lightly spray cookie sheets with no-stick cooking spray. Generously butter handle of wooden spoon. Set aside.
• Combine egg whites and lime juice in bowl. Beat at high speed until foamy. Continue beating, gradually adding sugar, until glossy and stiff peaks form. Gently stir in flour and butter.
• Spoon 2 teaspoons batter onto prepared cookie sheet; evenly spread batter to 3-inch circle. Repeat with remaining batter, placing only 3 cookies onto each cookie sheet. (Do not re-use cookie sheets without first washing and re-applying no-stick cooking spray.)
• Bake 5-8 minutes or until edges just begin to brown. Using thin metal spatula, carefully lift edge of cookie; immediately shape by wrapping around buttered handle of wooden spoon. Gently slide cookie off spoon handle onto cooling rack. Place cookie seam-side down to cool completely. Repeat with remaining cookies. If cookies harden before rolling, return cookies to oven about 1 minute to soften.
• Melt candy coating in 1-quart saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally, 3-4 minutes or until smooth. Carefully dip each end of cookie in coating. Gently shake cookie to remove excess coating. (Cookies are very fragile.) Place onto waxed paper 15 minutes or until coating is set. Repeat with remaining cookies and coating.
• Write messages on narrow strips of paper. Insert 1 message inside each cookie. Tie ribbons in school colors around center of each cookie.
