Depression Era Butterscotch Cookies

2/1/2016

I recently had the opportunity to have a slumber party with my grandmother, we stayed up late, laughed and chatted.  I cherish these times I get to spend with her and they become sweeter, and more special, the older I get.  

I had a goal in mind to pick her brain about things she remembered from her youth, as you my readers know, I have a bit of a romanticized view of the way things used to be and I don't seem to tire of learning more and more about those times.  While I was there, we came across a recipe that belonged to my great grandmother.  My grandma shared remembering this recipe as being a delicious one that she and her siblings enjoyed (back before they had refrigeration even!)  I brought this home and gave it a try right away, it was a HUGE hit!  

I had to laugh out loud as one of my daughters said, "mom, I wasn't sure about these as sometimes older recipes were thought to be good only because there wasn't much extra so it was a treat, but these were REALLY good!"  I have to concur.  What makes it even sweeter is that I believe this is actually my great grandmother's handwriting on this slip of paper I photographed.  It seems like a connection to the past when I can whip up a favorite recipe from days gone by.

Grandma said that there was not refrigeration so this would have likely been put in some cool place overnight, I wrapped up the log and placed it into the refrigerator, even slicing thinly though, I have to wonder how in the world grandma got 70 cookies from this recipe!  I think I may have gotten 36, and they didn't last long at all!

They were an absolute hit and will definitely be made again and again in this house!

I already missed my grandma. She is too far from us and because of the hectic schedule I can't even visit her. But I already promised to visit her this Christmas and I am surely going to be accompanied by my siblings and cousins. We already miss her so much and especially the food she cooks. She loves to teach me how to cook because she wants me to be ready whenever I become independent and already have my own family. Reading this article of year brings back a lot of memories. It is a good and also a bad one. I am also going to share some of the recipes my grandparents already taught me.

Sometimes old time recipes come with delectable taste. Although the ingredients are simple and the procedures are easy to follow, the outcome product can be very memorable to the palate. Recipes from our grandparents should be really treasured and passed on from generation to generation. It should be preserved so the future generations can have a taste of how life was so simple before. It will also serve as a memory maker when it is passed on. Every time you make the recipe the love that goes with it goes on.
