Thumb Print Cookies

Visiting with Mom, I asked her what cookie recipe she liked to bake the best (when we were growing up). Her reply went something like this. “You kids liked Haystacks. They were finicky when it rained. Shortbread; but you only bake it at Christmas.  Peanut butter – not everybody liked those. Thumb Prints. Yes, Thumb Prints were the best.”

I had to do a little looking in my hand written cook book;…

Sourdough Starter

2 cups warm water 2 cups of all-purpose flour 2 ½ teaspoons of yeast Large crock or bowl with tight-fitting lid.

Pour water into the crock. Sprinkle the flour on top and add the yeast last. …

Icing Topped Donut Muffins

Icing Topped Donut Muffins

Friday’s Fare

She would glaze them with a runny icing, hide a dozen or so for her and Dad to enjoy, and then dole some of them out to my brother and I and our friends as we came through the door looking for an after school…
