It has come to my knowledge that, in spite of there being cookies named
after Newton and cookies named after Leibniz, there is no cookie named
after Euler. I have set myself to remedy this matter. These cookies are
indeed the oiliest cookies I have ever made:
EULER COOKIES
Sift 1/4 cup confectioners sugar.
Beat one cup of butter until soft and add the sugar slowly into it.
Cream until blended. Yes, a whole cup.
Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla and a pinch of allspice.
Combine 2 cups all purpose flour (or, if wheat-free cookies are desired, one
cup of rice flour and one cup of soy meal), 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon
baking powder.
Work the butter mixture into the flour mixture. Make into balls and flatten
on a cookie sheet. Bake at 350'F for approximately twenty minutes.
I have been advised that eating too many cookies may cause you to go to
L'Hopital.

Should we euler the cookie sheet?

Fig Newtons I know. But what's a Leibniz cookie?

I thought Euler was more into pie.

Get stuck in your throat if you don't eat it with for example alcohol.
Cookies follow people, which is bizarre.

Hi there..Your cookies, are identical to the Greek KOURAMBIETHES, or
KOURAMBIEDES, pronounced 'KOO-RAM-BEE- ETH ES with the accent on the
ETH. They tend to become oily and flat if the butter/flour mixture is
off balance...flour measurements vary with humidity! With the right
balance they lose that oily taste. Also add a few Teaspoons of BRANDY
to the mix, leave out the all space, but prop in a clove in each one
and there you have it..I was weened on these cookies !
Merry Christmas, if applicable! Mike

Go to www.bahlsen.com and klick on the rider "Leibniz".

To help with any future cookies, you may need the assistance of a
mathematician who described a numerical method of solving differential
equations and whose name is usually associated with that of Carle Runge.

Alexei Sayles (sp?) had a routine in the one of the Young Ones about
treats being named after generals, like Napoleans and Garibaldis, etc.

Aren't shortbread cookies shaped with a Runge Cutter?

The latter being a case of a mathematician named for a cookie.
Fig Newtons, by the way, are actually named for Newton, Massachusetts,
where they were first made. Whether the town was named for Sir Isaac or
is just a common contraction of New Town is arguable.

Unless you're using Newton's method.
We seem to have gone full circle here.
