Q. At a family dinner, my grandpa raved about the glass cookies" his mother made when he was a boy. When I asked him why they were called such a name, he said he didn’t know but that his mother always kept them in her glass cookie jar for dunking in tea. I know there's no such thing as glass cookies, but can you tell me more about the name, and where I can find information on glass cookie jars like the one my grandpa recently gave me that belonged to his mother.

A. Although "glass cookies" never existed, they were sometimes called by that name, being that drinking glasses (when turn upside down and pressed into cookie dough) allowed the open end to become a cookie cutter that could cut out rounds in different sizes, depending on the size of the glass and its opening. For instance, a martini glass would make a big cookie whereas a whiskey glass would make a small one. Therefore, the name "glass cookies" refers to upside down glasses used as cutters.
