Cookie Crunch Time

I got in the mood today to bake some cookies. Lucky thing that I had all of the ingredients on hand because it is raining cats and dogs and a trip to town would only muck up the car - badly!

I use vintage bowls when mixing dough mostly because they are lightweight and easy to clean and store. 

My cookies are never fancy or beautiful but they ARE de-lic-ious! They aren't the kind to take to a bazaar or give as gifts or to trade for an assortment. They are not the kind to display for praise.

Pretty they aren't but they are pretty good. Just ask my husband.

I store them in a plastic container. Why? Well, I have a vintage McCoy ceramic teapot Kookie Kettle cookie jar with a cast iron look which gathers dust sitting on the fireplace mantle. This pot has been here ever since I can remember, is heavy, and the lid fits loosely. It would never do. It must have been a thoughtful and appropriate gift to my parents when the cabin was new. It fits in nicely with the "decor!"

A side benefit of baking in the winter is that the oven helps heat this old cabin! It's a built-in room fragrance dispenser.

Oh, by the way, the recipe is also vintage (as is the baker).
