21 December 1913 - THE FIRST CROSSWORD PUZZLE IS PUBLISHED: Arthur Wynne 
introduces a new puzzle called 'Word-Cross' in the New York World 
newspaper's 'Fun' section. The diamond-shaped grid has numbered squares, 
clues, and simple instructions to fill the blanks. A typographical error 
a few weeks later will change the name to 'Cross-Word.' That one will stick.

      Yield: 2 Puzzles
 
      1 c  Butter; softened

  vanilla. In another mixing bowl, combine oats and flour.
  Mix wet ingredients with dry ingredients just until
  moistened.
  
  Divide dough in half. Pat each half of dough into heart
  shape about 1/4" thick on prepared baking sheets.
  
  To decorate, gently press M&M's into dough in a pattern
  or phrase of your choice. With a sharp knife, cut
  through dough to form 10 random shapes. Do not separate.
  
  Bake for 18 minutes or until lighly browned. Carefully
  cut through pieces again to separate. Cool 5 minutes on
  baking sheet. Remove and cool completely on wire rack.
  
  NOTES: The serving size depends on how big you decide
  to cut out the shapes. This recipe makes two 10" heart
  shaped cookie puzzles.
