Delicious Cookies

No joke. That’s what the recipe card is entitled, “Delicious Cookies!” This is a very old recipe of my mom’s. Our neighbor was Agnes, my grandmother’s best friend. She and my grandmother were great cooks, so I know this will be a good one. It calls for oleo and oil. Whew! It ought to be delicious with two kinds of shortening!! 😉  The first batch is in the oven, so I’ll let you know what I think.

Really light and fluffy batter.

Takes about 12 minutes in the oven.

Mr. Farmer and Farmer Joe are hauling bulls out of the pen to pastures around the area. They have no time to sit and chat with a tall glass of iced tea in one hand and a cookie in the other. They must get all the bulls delivered to the correct pastures before Ava’s softball game tonight. That’s the most important item on the agenda for today. 🙂 She’s 8 and it’s so fun to watch the next generation “batter up!”

With cookies in hand they are makin’ a plan as to where to deliver the bulls.
Wish you could hear our Golden Retriever, Maggie right now. She is not a happy camper. In her constant barking, she is letting the bull in the trailer he is not welcome on our farm. Not now. Not ever!
I don’t know about you, but these bulls scare me to pieces. They seem to be friends with Mr. Farmer.
Mr. Farmer knows everything about each one, where they came from and which field they will be taken to from their bull pasture.
I call this dude the “one-horned bandit!” Tee Hee! They are all actually  quite docile, says my husband. I don’t believe it for one second.

Guess I’ll bag up some of these “delicious cookies” to take to the game with us. Been raining all day and there’s more coming. Hope we can dodge the showers for about an hour so we can see our little punkin’ Ava play ball. It’s one of my all time favorite pastimes. I LOVE SOFTBALL AND BASEBALL!! Especially when our grandchildren play. Do you? Grew up at the ball field and still love going. So far I’ve seen 5 generations play ball in my family.

Yep, these cookies are worth baking. Give them a try.

Denise LOVES being with family and friends.......gardening, photography, going to church, traveling, politics, cooking, entertaining, reading and studying the Word. The order changes daily (except for the family and friends part!) She was made for the country life. And she LOVES her Lord Jesus. Her life verses: Phil 3:13-14 "I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus." She wants everyone to know her Lord, personally.

  2. I got a recipe very similar to this from the older lady that lived across the road when my kids were little. It was called Catch-all Cookies. About the only difference is we use 1/2 chocolate chips and 1/2 butterscotch chips. She used crushed cornflakes instead of Rice Krispies. I substituted Rice Krispies when I didn’t have any cornflakes in the house.
