21 December 1913 - THE FIRST CROSSWORD PUZZLE IS PUBLISHED: Arthur Wynne
introduces a new puzzle called 'Word-Cross' in the New York World
newspaper's 'Fun' section. The diamond-shaped grid has numbered squares,
clues, and simple instructions to fill the blanks. A typographical error
a few weeks later will change the name to 'Cross-Word.' That one will stick.

     Title: Sweetheart Cookie Puzzle
Categories: Cookies, Desserts, Snacks, Grains
     Yield: 2 Puzzles

     1 c  Butter; softened
     1 c  Granulated sugar
     2 ts Vanilla
     2 c  Rolled oats; uncooked
 1 1/4 c  Unbleached flour
     2 c  M&Ms chocolate candy

 Preheat oven to 350ºF/175ºC.

 Lightly spray 2 baking sheets with cooking spray; set
 aside. In a mixing bowl, combine butter, sugar, and
 vanilla. In another mixing bowl, combine oats and flour.
 Mix wet ingredients with dry ingredients just until
 moistened.

 Divide dough in half. Pat each half of dough into heart
 shape about 1/4" thick on prepared baking sheets.

 To decorate, gently press M&M's into dough in a pattern
 or phrase of your choice. With a sharp knife, cut
 through dough to form 10 random shapes. Do not separate.

 Bake for 18 minutes or until lighly browned. Carefully
 cut through pieces again to separate. Cool 5 minutes on
 baking sheet. Remove and cool completely on wire rack.

 NOTES: The serving size depends on how big you decide
 to cut out the shapes. This recipe makes two 10" heart
 shaped cookie puzzles.
