Buttermint Cookies Ancient Recipe With Real Peppermint Leafs
Buttermint Coookies Rare Treasure
I was lucky enough to hold onto many old recipes i'd say from about the 1930's. A lady from Church she cooks a lot and her mom did also and there must be about 8000 old school recipes that where given to me. I told my wife that we are going to keep them because I think they are probably a gold mine. There all done in alphabetical order and so many things to cook. I find it hard to ever be able to try them all unless you are a very busy cook. I hope you all enjoy and i'll be posting lots more of these ancient recipes.
