I have 2 orders from some clients for cookies that have a story behind them.

They are going to be used in a cookie swap...I told the business owner, the story is that THEY are suppose to be baking the cookies, not me!!! LOL!!!

So can anyone help me out? I need 2 different cookies with a history.

TIA--Pam

BTW--I had my annual cookie swap yesterday. I made Praline Snickerdoodles....MMMMMMMMM!!!!

Just give them some fabulous recipe and tell them the story is that they were too lazy to come up with one themselves and this is the end result of their quest... icon_wink.gif

OK, I'm sorry, I wasn't raised in the US, what are cookies with a story??? Like a recipe passed down in generations and your gramma telling you how her Momma used to make them in the old days? Just curious, wish I could help!

Oh geesh! Seriously, aren't you suppose to make your own cookies at a cookie swap? So they're already "cheating" with buying the cookies, why not just "cheat" and make up a story to go with it? icon_lol.gificon_lol.gif

The owner asked didn't I have some cookie from my past that mom or grandma and I used to bake that came from her great-great...yada, yada, yada.

My mom and grandma don't bake...so I've learned all on my own.

Mac I am also in your position. My dad and I are the only bakers in the family and he just recently got into baking a year or so ago so I learned everything on my own. But if they want a recipe. Eagle (the company that makes the sweetened condensed milk) has some great cookie bar recipes that can be doctored to create a recipe all their own. Just a suggestion.

Yes, there are some great recipes. I don't think these ladies ACTUALLY cook. They let others do it. It's not so much a recipe. I can find those. I just need some that have story, a history.

Misdawn--
I will email the recipe to you when I get to a longer stopping point. I am in the middle of 15 dozen petit fours (Arghhhhhhh) and 15 dozen brownie bites with Amaretto cream topping. Not to mention 12 1/2 dozen cookies to be baked tonite. Can we say "No-doze" or caffeine????

Misdawn--

Wish I called you last night. I just got through with the petit fours and brownie bites--2 hrs sleep.

Now I have 12 dozen cookies for tomorrow to bake and finish.

I feel a pow-wow coming on with the restaurant owner. I was not told about this party tonite until yesterday. And I do home health PT during the day.

Shower time--I feel sticky...oh, and definitely NO MORE PETIT FOURS!!!!! EVER!!!!! unless they are my fancy ones.
