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.

Chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies ~ page 208
I know...this recipe has been blogged about, but I have to let you know what I did with half of this dough. I made a cookie cake for a friend! It turned out so well, I think I will be doing it again soon! This recipe has all shortening in it which keeps it from spreading, causing it to really keep its shape. I just patted the dough out in a circle on a baking sheet. I have a friend that did a half marathon last weekend...This was her good luck cookie. (The half marathon is 13.1 miles total, in case you are wondering what the numbers mean) anyway...it was a nice crispy texture that made it firm enough to handle so I could transport it easily to the friend's house. So, give it a try next time you want to make a plate of cookies for a friend, and instead surprise them with a cookie cake! --Carissa
