Saturday Share Recipe--Preacher Cookies
Today I’m sharing a no-flour cookie recipe I found in my Mom’s recipe card box. Every now and then I thumb through the index cards in my Mom’s recipe card box.
I pulled out the card for today’s recipe, Preacher Cookies, because the name aroused my curiosity.
I wish I could ask my Mom why these cookies are called Preacher Cookies.
I recognized the handwriting on the card and knew it had been written by Miss Adrienne, Mom’s friend who was quite a bit older than my mother.
SAVING RECIPES
In today’s world, I don’t know of anyone who keeps recipes on 3×5 cards in a recipe box, but it was a common thing in my Mom’s time. In fact, it was an aspect of the social life of housewives.
They shared recipes and hosted cookie and candy exchanges during the holidays. My mom had several recipe cards written by her friends, and many of them are for treats like today’s ccookies that are no longer made. I guess you could call these vintage recipes.
Miss Adrienne passed away many years ago at the age of 92, but her cookies live on.
