Madison Cookies This is a wonderful
recipe that is adult tasty and children friendly! WOW
what more could you ask for? Our granddaughter, Madison
made these cookies for our Thanksgiving feast and they
are delicious.
I hope all of you had a blessed Thanksgiving. I am so
grateful to have our children close so we can share
special Holidays together. It was nice to have both of
the girls in the kitchen helping this year. I will admit
this younger generation has different methods then I was
taught, however, they get the same results, they just
get them faster than I do.
It would be nice if all of our family could get together
more often, we need to plan a family reunion sometime
soon to see all of our cousins. Rick, our cousin from
Texas said he was going to make the fruit salad from
last week’s recipe for Thanksgiving. I will contact him
to see how their Thanksgiving went and if they enjoyed
it as much as we do. I will also see if he has a special
recipe that he might like to share. I have Rick’s,
Grandmother Virgie’s (my great aunt) recipe for carrot
cake and soup beans. I can remember going in her back
door every day after school (she lived two doors down
the road from us) and learning something about cooking
or baking. It always smelled so good. A person always
knew where to find her, in the vegetable garden or in
the kitchen.
2 and ½ cups of all purpose flour
