  1. So far, I’ve made the Chocolate Butter Scotch Bars, Vanilla Christmas Cookies, & the Pink & White Fancies last Christmas, and they were outstandingly delicious! Great gift cookies, everyone raved about them. I will be making more of these delicious cookies this Christmas too. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS WEB SITE! Thank you, it is so much fun!

    1. Does anyone know of or have a recipe for a bar cookie called Chocolate Logs? My mom used to make them in a jelly roll pan

  2. What a great site! I’m trying to find my mom’s lost recipes. I remember one that was ‘Christmas cut-outs.’ rolled sugar cookies. Maybe from a magazine in the late 50’s-early 60’s. If anyone can help, I would appreciate it!
