As requested by scalderwood, two of the recipes from yesterday’s Baking Day.
Lindy Cookies (Chocolate Chip-Oatmeal Cookies) 1cup butter or oleo ¾cup brown sugar ¾cup granulated sugar 2eggs 1tsp. hot water 2cups flour 1tsp. soda 1tsp. salt 2cup oatmeal 1tsp. vanilla 12oz. chocolate chips Mix butter and eggs, add sugars. Cream together. Add hot water and vanilla. Slowly add dry ingredients, then mix in chips. Bake at 350-375° for 6 or 7 minutes. Don’t over bake! These cookies have been my favorite since I was a wee little child. It was Kathi Strong, I believe, who first called them Lindy cookies, since they are mom’s recipe. These are much better than store bought chocolate chip cookies and even better than Toll House cookies.
Butterscotch Cookies (AKA Icebox Cookies) 4cup brown sugar 1cup butter 4eggs 6½cup flour 1Tbsp soda 1tsp cream of tartar Mix sugar and butter, add eggs. Sift together (or mix with wire whisk)dry ingredients. Add to sugar mixture. Make into 1 or 2 loaves, set overnight in refrigerator. Slice into 70 cookies. Bake at 375°for 10 minutes. Mom usually reserves the last ½ cup of flour for when she rolls the dough into loaves. These cookies are best served with a cup of coffee.
Straight out of the family cookbook! I love Cut & Paste. 🙂
