Glad that this thread was resurrected. I just invented a cookie recipe that is so fucking insanely good I have to share it and wasn't sure where. This seems like a good spot.
I scored a copy of Fannie Farmer's 1896 cook book. It is a complete replica down to the ribbon page holder and the gilt page edges. <- fun fact that is to keep the book worms from gaining entry.
So, I've been going back to old school recipes as a point of departure and also because the recipes are different and interesting and not endlessly copy pasted into a hundred different web pages all claiming to be the original ... I'm getting side tracked.
I'm going to make this recipe a jpg so it won't show up on google searches. It's my gift to you, not the whole fucking internet.
Back later.
