This is one of our favorite basic cookies. They are oh so easy to make and with additions you can make several types of cookies. Our favorite is to add chocolate chips and coconut (like the above photo).
I found this recipe in one of my all time favorite cookbooks "Stories and Recipes of the Great Depression of the 1930's" by Rita Van Amber. There are several books in this series (I have four of them) but the first volume continues to be my favorite.
The recipes are simple and don't call for odd or expensive ingredients. When I need frugal meals these are the first cookbooks that I turn to. Included throughout the book are stories about growing up during the Great Depression and how people survived. History and cookbook all in one!
Yum..I think I'll try making these today with M&Ms and coconut. Should make the house smell great and feel cozy! Those cook books you mentioned sound good, too. I hadn't heard of them before.
