Made with buttermilk...delicately soft and cake-like. "So easy...that making them is a thrill for the girls in the Home Economics classes each year," according to Miss Sarah M. Knight of Buffalo, NY. And even her sixth-graders report making them with great success in their own homes!"
I love old cookbooks and I can almost imagine what this cookbook looks like just from the picture. I have several old cookbooks that I have had forever. NO I didn't buy them at estate sales - although I have seen them at estate sales. I used to buy them at truck stops when we first got married.
Cafe Treats Baker Dorene made these and they were so delicious. That added cinnamon sugar on top is so tasty on your lips when you take a bite of the cookie. I loved that. I think you might also.
