A "Vintage" Cookie Recipe

Scary

that

my

little collection of

recipes

that I started

in

1972

can be considered

"vintage"

but

it

can

(It appears

that

many

of

our

idiosyncrocies

begin

when

we are little

.....some are positive

and some not so)

Recipe collecting,

baking,

cooking

FOOD

began

early

...

in my

vintage

years

I remember

delivering

quick breads,

yeast breads

cakes

and

cookies

wrapped

in cellophane

and

tied up

in

pretty

ribbons

to

friends

and

neighbors

at

Christmastime

(my bike

was

my mode of

transportation)

carrot bread

pumpkin bread

apple cake

gingerbread

whole wheat bread

oatmeal bars

molasses crinkles

.............and so on

I still use

my silly little

Holly Hobby

book

with my

hand- written recipes

today

...
