What We Cook: Butter Crisp Cookies ~ page 205

Our Cookbook Blog

Our Cookbook ~ What We Cook, is a compilation of every recipe we (Janice and Carissa) cook - recipes from our cookbook collections, our recipe boxes, and our heads! We set up this blog for friends and family who have our cookbook to let them see pictures we post of the recipes in the book, and also for us to note any corrections, revisions, or additions to What We Cook. We encourage people who are cooking our recipes to let us know how the recipes turn out and any suggestions they might want to make.

In addition, we will be sharing some of our new recipes (along with pictures) that are not in our cookbook. We hope you will help us out and test recipes and give us your comments.

Butter Crisp Cookies ~ page 205

I used to make these cookies when I was a kid (and that was a very long time ago!) back when butter was called oleo...(where did that name for butter come from??). These came out a little different texture for me this time because I have a different oven now that cooks very slow, henceforth the cookies took a long time to get a tiny touch of brown on the edges. That just shows you that each person must take into account some differences in their ovens, and even in the weather, when baking.

I like to use cherries to decorate some, pecans for some, and then sometimes I just leave the tops plain. Butter crisp cookies always make a pretty platter for a party.
