[Nfb-krafters-korner] Cookie Recipe Swap

[Dixie]

Yes, I do treasure her recipes.  In fact, it was only a couple of weeks ago
that I had inherited her entire collection.  I had a few of her recipes
which my father had in his collection, but, when my aunt passed away 3 weeks
ago, I was given my grandmother's entire recipe collection which was in my
aunt's care.  There is a shoebox sized 3 by 5 card file full of recipes.

My daughter and I are going to go through them, she will read them to me, I
will type them into the computer, and then the rest of the family will have
this treasure too.

And, Yes, I was named after this grandmother whom I have never met.  

I always joke I am Dixie from the Deep South...  The deep south of Southern
New England on the Connecticut coast.

My grandmother's maiden name was Dixon and that is my legal first name.
Nickname...
Dixie

To have your Grandmother's recipes is truly a treasure. To my knowledge 
neither of my grandmother's ever used a written recipe and none were 
preserved for the grandchildren since we were kids at the time. Were you 
named for her?

Karen,

I hope you like my Grandma's Oatmeal Date Bars.  I never met Grandma Dixon.
She died from lung cancer at age 47 only months before I was born.  I was
her first grandchild.

So, what I have of her is her recipes.

She was apparently quite a cook.  She used to work for a cooking show that
was broadcast on the radio  here in Connecticut.

So early this morning I decided to kickstart the holiday baking. Made the
Condensed Milk Biscuits and OMG, they are delicious! Everyone who has
sampled them so far agrees. I adjusted the recipe to make a smaller batch,
used a different combo of flour that was on hand, and they still turned out
exactly as promised. I have no doubt we'll be making these again and again.

With so many awesome recipes, it is hard to decide what to try next. I
suspect it will be Grandma Dixon's. Thank you KK for a terrific cookie
compilation!

BTW, the Chocolate Crackles recipe is from Suzanne Beecher of Dear Reader,
the chapter-a-day book club. She posted this recipe years ago when I was
subscribed to her club through the library. It has been a favorite ever
since.

Karen
