Claudette Colbert is featured on the Cookies page of this old 1933 Bisquick recipe book. Yet they have her talking about how wonderful and easily Peach Shortcake can be made.

Claudette Colbert, whose bewitching charms are displayed in Edward Small's exciting production, "I Cover the Waterfront," a United Artist's picture.

Claudette Colbert and her favorite summer dessert. As enticing and piquant as the famous star herself, you will find it an exciting adventure to make this dish--no muss, no fuss with Bisquick.

Make a depression in each ball and fill with jelly, then cover with coconut. Bake 10 minutes in quick, moderate oven 375 F.

Lemon Almond Cookies
