Century Old Recipe
For Ginger Cookies
Dear Almanack:

Has 1t occurred TO all your
readers, as II has 20 me, that our
wartime sugar-less, BUTTERFLIES,
egg-less recipes are all % be
found In those old, and hand
written cook books OF our pio-
neer ancestors ? This one is as
old as the Nnite mans camps in
Central New York. In my grand
mothers yellow crooks which
were never empty one held grand
fathers favorite midnight treat,
"doughnuts that pull" The other
held these cookies and was re.
plenished every Saturday morn
ing. The recipe was one that
grandmother's housekeeper was
given by her mother and must
be well over 100 years old
I'm those days, she told us
children, as we buttered the big
dripping pans for her AS an eE-
cuse 10 stay in the kitchen, 'wo-
men didn't have white flour and
sugar and sometimes not even
butter or good iron stoves as
we do now. And when they did
build a fire and bake they had
to make enough of everything to
last a week. That's why their
rcceets (she never said recipe)
were so large, And they had TO
be easy, and cheap, and good.
I have since tricd many cookie
receets but have never found
any that was easier, cheaper or
"gooder" than this
