This was painted as a full sized illustration but as I was preparing for this blog entry I couldn't help but think about how this would be more appropriate as a recipe card. Somehow I feel that Gladys would have loved to share her recipe with you.
I said the very first week in my introduction that Gladys was famous for her chocolate cookies. Now honestly I have no clue if she was the creator of the recipe, but even if she was not, she made them her own by blessing her family with their tasty goodness over and over again!
Now with permission from my Mother I will reveal her secret ingredient........bacon drippings! Yes, yes, you heard it here folks. Warning! Please check with your cardiologist before beginning this recipe. If you decide to err on the side of caution and use shortening, you will still love their deliciousness.
This week my cousin Dana shares her memories of baking with Grandma.
Dana's Memories
My memory of Grandma involves baking. Just like all my cousins, I make and love her chocolate cookies, but I was fascinated when she taught me to make a pie. She let me cut shapes out of the extra dough and sprinkle sugar and cinnamon on them for a special treat just for us. Grandma had a way of making every grandchild feel special and as if we were the center of her universe. She was never to busy to give you a hug and a kiss-or teach you to make a baked treat.
Thanks again for reading this week. My gift to you this week is a free recipe card download. Make sure after you download the pdf, you set the size as 100% or "actual size" If you just click "print" it will print it at 155% so you might want to adjust the size according to your recipe box. Enjoy!
