Kingdom Kookies

Sunset_Sam's Note:

This is actually a Girl Scout cookie recipe from 1917. It has inspired an idea in a book that I wrote called "The Askinar Towers". In one scene two girls are selling Kingdom Kookies in order to sneak into a evil wizard's tower. The book can be found here: http://stores.lulu.com/Mentzer
