I whipped up three quick batches of cookies yesterday morning as a thank you to the team that works under me for all their help in achieving a positive district walk through. One of the other managers loved these and asked for the recipe, so here it is. This is from an old Betty Crocker cookbook that I was very excited to find on my vacation. This is the 1976 version of my Mom's cookbook that I grew up learning to cook out of.
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup shortening
- 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
- 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 2 TB flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Cream shortening and confectioners' sugar.
- Blend in flour. Press evenly in bottom of ungreased baking pan, 13x9x2 inches.
- Bake for 12 t0 15 minutes.
- Mix remaining ingredients, spread over hot baked layer and bake 20 minutes longer.
- Cool, cut into bars, about 3 x 1 inch.
yummy - I remember making these - we all loved them. Haven't made them in years.

I thought they were familiar! Did you used to make them at Christmas sometimes?
ReplyDeleteHey, is that the cookbook we always used to use? Seems like the pages in Mom's were a bit stained from our spills. Looks yummy!
ReplyDeleteYes! Or at least within a year or two, I think of being the same one. What's the copyright in yours, Mom?
ReplyDeleteI got this copy for a dollar and it is all stained from spills, too. It seems just like I'm using Moms.
