I'm probably repeating myself, but old people do that.... I was born on my Aunt Marjean's 18 Birthday and we have had a special bond all my life. Memorial Day weekend she is turning 88 and since this coming Wednesday is 'our day with Marjean,' I made most of her birthday present today.
(for those who have the Journey...Home book, these cookies are all in it )
My Grandmother used to make these three cookies/muffins for her family, and my aunt still talks of them so fondly, so, I made a batch of each of them. AND, I used her (my grandma's) rolling pin also.
Upper left - Molasses Sugar Cookies (and I followed my aunt's instructions to always take them out when the 'cracks still look a little doughy' so they will be chewy. (page 151)
Upper right - My grandma called these 'Gems' and the kids called them 'Yum Yums' (page 214)
Lower middle - Filled Cookies - my aunt's favorite all time cookie, (page 213)
I hope she is just thrilled with her basket.
And tomorrow, I'm making the peanut butter pie Labs referenced for me a while back.

Retired and having fun writing cookbooks, tasting wine and sharing recipes with all my friends.
