This cook book is the same book I learned to make cookies from as a child. I was so happy to see that it was published again because of course, although my mom still has it I am sure, it was pretty sad looking when I was a child with pages missing and stained. I ran out and purchased it and Emma and I made one of my old time favorites, Butterscotch Brownies. These are so easy to make and we almost always have the ingredients on hand. We left out the walnuts because most of the kids don't like them.
Butterscotch Brownies
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup shortening
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8 inch square baking pan.
In large bowl, cream the melted butter and brown sugar then add vanilla and egg. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, walnuts, baking powder and salt. Slowly add to egg mixture, stirring until well blended. Spread dough evenly into the prepared pan.
Bake for 20 to 24 minutes. Don't over bake.

Oh how funny. I think that's the book my best friend and her mom always used. It looks so familiar to me. I'll have to try the butterscotch brownies. Yummmmm.
