> Dear Phaedrus,
>      I am looking for a recipe for Cowboy Bread.  In high school in Fresno
Ca a gal named Carolyn Mackie used to bring this in for special occasions.
She said it was a family recipe and would not share it .  It was really
good, moist and sweet.  I really hope you can find this as I've always loved
it and wanted to know how to make it.  Thanks for your help.   Deana from

 1 c. margarine or butter, melted

    Combine sugar, ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, salt and baking soda;
 mix well.  Add melted margarine, evaporated milk and molasses.  Add
 extracts.  Mix well.  Add flour, 1 cup at a time, stirring
 constantly.  The dough should be stiff enough to handle without
 sticking to fingers.  Knead dough for smoother texture.  Add up to
 1/2 cup additional flour if necessary to prevent sticking.  When the
 dough is smooth, roll it out 1/4 inch thick on a floured surface and
 cut into cookies.  Bake on floured and greased cookie sheet at 375
 degrees for 10-12 minutes.  Cookies done when they spring back.
 ^c*Heart Healthy Modifications:^c Use margarine rather than butter.
 Choose evaporated skim milk.
