Jenan Madden, the manager of a book store in Seattle, shared this recipe with The Times. She acquired it as a child from a favorite baby sitter. "The taste is great," she said. "And it's fun telling people what they are called." (Ammonia cookies are in fact made with ammonium carbonate, a form of baking soda, not cleaning ammonia, which is poisonous.)

[email protected]These cookies are a bit too crumbly. I think I'll try chilling the dough for a bit before baking them next time.

[email protected]These cookies are a great way to use up leftover egg whites. I always have a few egg whites left over after making a cake or pie, and these cookies are the perfect way to use them up.
