#Baking #Cookies

@KarlS

Years ago when my daughter was young I did a lot of baking. I could not afford a lot of cookbooks so I would go to the library and take out promising books and copy any recipes I wanted to try.
I came across this wonderful cookie recipe in the Fannie Farmers Cookbook.

It is a cookie that is slightly pared down from the original sold at Schrafft’s In New York City.

It is a thin, nutty, delicious cookie. Handle delicately when removing from the cookie sheet.

Drop the dough by heaping Tablespoon, 2 inches apart and flatten it with the bottom of a glass which has been dipped in flour.

Bake until golden brown. Gently remove from the sheet. Let cool. Store in an airtight container, though I don’t think these will last long enough to worry about storing.

Very kind of you to share with @KarlS and us!! Now I need to find a baker here that will make these for me (I’m a great cook; baker, not so much).

I just threw out my dry milk a little while ago, I’ll need to get some more.

You have to show the cookies when you are done and let me know what you and the family think.
