   mold into desired basket shapes, then continue baking until light
   brown and completely dry.
   
        Cool and store in an air-tight container until used.
   
        To serve, fill cookie baskets with fresh fruit such as
   raspberries.  Garnish with strawberry or apricot puree and fresh mint
   leaves.
