Mom's Cookie RecipeScan of Original Recipe

I found this going through my Mom’s old recipe books. She got it when she was in grade school (early 60’s) and used it right up to before she passed away a few years a go. Makes me very happy that the recipe is a big hit with our friends here, would have made her proud.

Feel free to use it, hope you have as good results as we have had. If you happened to have had these from the original source at some point, I hope it makes you smile to try them now. Man, that sounded wussy.

In case you want to copy and can’t read the scan.

    I think most Mom’s from that generation had them. Mom’s this generation? Maybe not. Which saddens me, nothing says good food like a dutch(ish) couple on a recipe card.

    I just noticed I spelled “recipe” REALLY wrong.

    And I noticed that you haven’t updated in ages. What gives? You’ve got some great footage of my haircut that would make for riveting viewing.
