I was asked to take some cookies to my daughter's school yesterday to show our teachers how much we appreciate them, so of course I did! I am so thankful for the amazing school district we live in, and for the teachers my daughter has had through elementary, middle school, and now high school. Any chance I get to show my appreciation to them, I gladly accept!
If you want a tasty cookie, that could even pass off as breakfast with a cup of Joe...try these...
I LOVE cookbooks! Thank goodness my mom must have known cookbook reading would be a favorite pastime of mine, and started collecting them for me when I was an infant. This snickerdoodle recipe is out of a local fire department cookbook from 1982. Directly across the page was this "very healthy" recipe for "Nutritious Cookies." It made me laugh because this isn't exactly what I think of as nutritious, 30 years later...
Thank goodness Jane Fonda was around in 1982 to help the ladies burn off all that shortening...and sugar...and brown sugar...and flour...
Have a fabulous Saturday. Take a little time to smell the homemade cookies!
This looks yummy even though I don't care for snickerdoodle. That's too funny that these were considered healthy and nutritious.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't a cinnamon fan until recently either. Now I only like it in the fall and winter months. Ha!!
DeleteHad no idea it was Homemade Cookie Day! I love to read cookbooks, too!
ReplyDeleteI like to read newer cookbooks with pictures, but I really love older cookbooks like these. There's no shortcuts, everything is homemade! This particular cookbook holds a special place in my heart because it's full of recipes from relatives. I get to reminisce a little, too!
DeleteWHAT?! I guess I still have 4 hours :P. I should've read this sooner.
ReplyDeleteThat's the good thing about this recipe...it's super simple and you probably have most of the ingredients on hand. Enjoy!
DeleteI was a day off, lol. I made caramel apple cookies on Friday. LOVE snickerdoodles and cookbooks make me smile! So do you!!! Happy Sunday love!
ReplyDeleteThat works, too...you celebrated National Homemade Cookie Day EVE!! I'll have to check out your caramel apple recipe. Sounds yummy!
DeleteSounds like a cookie one should make when friends and/or family come for a visit. Just sayin' . . .
ReplyDeleteHmmmm....maybe so...
DeleteThese sound amazing! And I had no idea that Saturday was national homemade cookie day. I guess I have some making up to do since we missed it!
ReplyDeleteYes, definitely! I don't think you'll get any complaints if you celebrate a few days late! ;)
DeleteDarn! I missed this national day as well. I need to get more organized. I can't be missing days that involve cookies and tacos!
ReplyDeleteRight!! Next time I see a notable holiday on the horizon I'll give you a heads up! ;)
