Yes I have the original cookbook also. I bought all the Betty Cookbooks in the 70s. I use to begin baking cookies in Sept to freeze. They never lasted until Christmas to give as gifts.

I was washing dishes and I just remembered why the cookie recipes make so many. My mom hasn’t made cookies since the 90’s (because “they’re bad for you”) but I remember her telling me that when we were little and living in update New York, the ladies at Christmas and other holidays would all get together (they were usually already in pre formed cliques or groups due to rotating day care and rides and other things) and each make one large batch of a single cookie recipe. Then swap cookies with other ladies in the group. That way they got all the different holiday cookies but only had to bake one recipe. I finally remembered. This is also brilliant. We should do this nowadays.

I’ve been doing the cream wafers since the early 70s when my friend’s mom made them & called them “Fairy Footstools” & we’ve called them that ever since! Tip: the THINNER you can roll the dough, the crispier they will be. So delish filled with lemon buttercream, & we pipe little buttercream holly leaves on top. 💕

I received this book as a wedding gift in 1975. Mine has been used so much in these 49 years that it's falling apart. The front cover is no longer attached to the book. So many recipes became favorites of my (now VERY grown) kids and the grandkids have developed their own favs from it. I love that generational "love of the book" and connection! So happy to watch your review of this fun book. I also have the Procter Silex ice cream recipe booklet from the 1960's. My dad bought a crank ice cream maker for us (I was about 8 years old) and the booklet came with the ice cream freezer. The chocolate ice cream frozen custard recipe in the booklet is died-and-gone-to-heaven good. It also is falling apart from 65 years of use!

These remind me very much of Nanaimo bars which are a Western Canadian bar cookie/dessert originating from 1953 but some say even earlier like the 1930's. They are usually seen around Christmas or Winter time and are also very sweet as well. A little goes a long way :)

@cooking_the_books 11 ай бұрын

YES! They are pretty much Nanaimo Bars. Right after I made this video, some of my Canadian friends and viewers let me know. I think the only difference was the lack of custard powder in these.

I made those bars often when my kids were home! I usually thinned the icing layer down a little to make it more spreadable. I also made the candy cane cookies for many years. And I’ve made the cream wafers, too. I wore out that cookbook and now have my mother’s. I found some of her notes in it. Pretty special! She was a home ec teacher in the 60s and used this book to plan her class on Christmas baking. Those are the notes I found. My copy is a first edition. I found one of my grandmother’s cookbooks dated 1933 and perused it yesterday.

Love your channel, Anna! I was given the Betty Crocker Cookbook for girls and boys for my 12th birthday in 1968. I learned to cook from that book! Also, these bars are called Nanaimo Bars in Canada. The current process for avoiding raw egg is to make a custard by melting the butter, sugar and Cocoa powder and stirring the beaten egg in. Cook gently for several minutes. I once made 100 Nanaimo bars for a going away event! And my kids still ask me to make them every year! I made 3 9x13 pans and 1 8x8 this year! Most of the Pinterest posts use this method for Nanaimo bars. Have a great Christmas. From Canada

This is one of my favorite cookbooks too. I received a copy from my grandmother for Christmas some 50+ years ago. I still use several of the recipes today (Ethel's Sugar cookies, Peanut Butter cookies, Butterscotch Brownies). The "Old-Fashioned Oatmeal Cookies", p. 9 are really good. They are kind of cake like. I think you would like them.

I have had that book for fifty years. Note: if there is ONE raw egg, the bars must be refrigerated. As a young wife I gave my family of four salmonella poisoning two years in a row. If I remember correctly, the top chocolate layer was done by putting chocolate chips on the bars then putting them in the over for a few minutes. The chips can then be smeared around. Spritz cookies are my favorite. I don't remember if they are in that book or not.

I've always loved this cookbook, too, especially the way cooky is spelled (we always spell it cookie now). My sister had an old baby doll named Cooky. Since this has a raw egg, I don't see why you couldn't bake the bottom layer, let it cool and continue the recipe. This was a very popular cookbook, because I have the 19th printing from 1976. BTW, place a piece of wax paper under your measuring cup for catching the powdered sugar!

I have a 1980's "version" of this cookbook (with Cookie spelled with an ie) but it''s formatted much differently and this recipe is not included. I have to assume it's because of the raw egg? Who knows. I think the version I have is just somewhat based on the original - the book itself looks very much like the Cookbook for Boys and Girls and published by Golden as well. There are a lot less cool pictures in it.

First appeared in 1952 Women's Auxiliary of the Nanaimo Hospital Cookbook labelled “chocolate square.” Then published in Vancouver's Edith Adams' Cookbook, this time going by the name “Nanaimo Bar.” ( source Food Network )* . I grew up eating these as a family treat at Christmas. Bars of all types were very popular in the 1950s in Canada. Nanaimo Bars are very well known in BC. Canada and still sold in many Bakeries/ Grocery stores around BC.

When I was in high school, I belonged to a youth choir, and our music pastor was from Nanaimo, Victoria, BC. Every summer we took about a two-week singing tour in the Western US and one year we went to Victoria. They served Nanaimo Bars at the snack bar on the ferry. Those among us who did not like coconut were not fans but I thought they were tasty! His wife was a big fan of butter tarts and said that they were best in Canada. First time I had salt and vinegar potato chips on that trip, us American kids had never tried them!

Those look delicious. I inherited my mother’s recipe box (ca. 1959-1989) and there is a card with a recipe that looks very similar and is flavored mint called Grasshopper Bars. I am familiar with cookie recipes from Central Europe using sieved hard-boiled egg yolks. I imagine the high fat content of yolks would be credited for making the final cookie tender.

I'm actually making a batch of these tomorrow! They're such a favorite. The grasshopper bars sound amazing!
