Heart Warming Story about the Recipe:
Crinkle Tops:  In 2002, Elisa Leverton of Portland, Oregon won the prize in Good Morning America Christmas Cookie Contest with a recipe called Crinkle Tops, a close cousin of the New England cookbook recipe.  She said that she had been making these chewy cookies for her husband for more than 20 years, since they were dating. Now her two kids just love them too.

Bake the Cookies Chewy: Bake cookies in 350-degree F oven for about 8 to 10 minutes and golden brown. Be careful not to bake them too long or they will not be chewy but will be very crispy.  After 10 minutes, remove to cooling rack to cool completely.

Yield: About 3-1/2 dozen

To Store Cooled Cookies:  Place cookies between sheets of parchment or wax paper in a tin or plastic container with a tight filling cover.
