After watching this, I got so 'homesick' for the late Miss Phyllis (Stokes) and Mr. (Dr.) Bucky and her videos showing her struggle to find a tea cake just like his grandmother's and how a viewer finally sent a recipe that was more similar to his memory. Maybe you were a viewer of hers, Lori? Her son has done a lovely job keeping her channel going and helping her ministry. Between your recipe and hers you've got me longing to try a batch of these.

My mom told me she grew up eating Tea Cakes. She was born in 1938 in North Carolina. I understand, her grandmothers and mom made Tea Cakes. I definitely want to make some Tea Cakes. They look like thick sugar cookies. I love a big thick sugar cookies. Thank you for sharing an old fashioned and treasured recipe.

When my mother-in-law made hers, she rolled hers and some where round and some were square. If there were any left, she would use some in banana pudding. They were far better than vanilla wafers.

Can’t wait to make! I love baking 6 cookies at a time in my little Emerial 360 Toaster oven. (Love it!) The rest are formed and frozen between layers of parchment. Bring out as needed and baked from frozen state. This keeps me from plowing down the whole batch in one day. 🤪 Thank you again!

This is very similar to a recipe my great grandmother made but hers didn't use confectioner sugar or have oil. She used to say she was "scottish to the backbone" 😊. She had a 57 acre farm and made everything from scratch. My mom and uncle grew up with her because her mom passed during childbirth when my mom was just a year and a half old, so I really thought of her as my grandmother. I can't wait to try this recipe.

My granny (born in 1896) made THE BEST tea cakes ever (recipe passed down to her by her mother who was born in 1874.) She never used measuring cups or spoons, just her hands ("a heaping, a smidgen, a pinch") and used a wood stove until the mid 1960s. Each of my aunts and female cousins have tried and tried to "figure out" her recipe but never could do it. I am going to try your recipe and see how close it is to hers. Thanks for posting!

I can't wait for your cookbook! I love watching the sweetness between you and Mr. Brown. Simply precious and so refreshing.😀

He had that same look that my husband gets when I make cookies. Looks like a little boy anticipating a delicious treat. You can’t beat tea cakes. My Daddy loved them so much. Y’all stay warm and cozy!

Tea Cakes in England are a light, flat sweet, bread bun, containing dried fruits such as currants, sultanas, and orange peel. After baking we slice them across the centre, width ways, then toast them and eat them with lots of butter spread on them. Yum!!

Love all the things you have been teaching me. God Bless you and yours. Stay safe and warm.

This brings back a lot of memories of my mom

I so agree with your statement about your grandmother always cooking from scratch. I sat here and thought, could my grandmother have followed a recipe like we do these days? It was always a handful of this, two handfuls, a smidgen, just a bit. Yet she taught me so much about baking and cooking. I've been going thru your recipes searching for what I can use for that box of goodies to my grandson. I figure these will pack well. I love what you read to us. Especially the part about before the war, I'm assuming the civil war. Now don't you think a bunch of young service men will enjoy that story. I'm going to sit and type what you read and print it to add to his box of these tea cakes.

My father-in-law made these for my kids back 40 years ago. He is gone now, but we have his recipe. Thank you for the wonderful recipe of yours which brought loving memories of Alabama Paw Paw.

Hello Mrs. Lori and Mr. Brown. Thanks for sharing . The recipe for your tea cake cookies . I had to laugh . Not at anyting you done . True story a friend of mine . Came to stay the weekend with me .

I remember my grandmothers Tea Cakes; she was born in 1899 in Mississippi. moved to Arkansas. married my granddad. 3 meals a day made from everything on the farm.

My Pastor & his wife prepare tea cakes and fruit bags (orange, apple, nuts & candy) every Christmas Eve for the congregation. A very special expression of love. Thank you for sharing your recipe. Blessings, favor and much love❤️

Ms Brown, I am a gal in my 60s and am so glad you have a great recipe for Tea Cakes!?? I can't wait to make some, however I didn't get how much oil or cream of tarter. Once again THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!

I am the youngest of 10 kids, tea cakes were our favorite treats, they were the least expensive to make as well. Thank you Ms Laurie, I lost my mother in 2004 at 95 yrs of age, I never got her tea cake recipe, so thank you from the bottom of my heart. God bless you and Mr Brown.

My Daddy was born in Philly in 1950. Idk if he’s ever had these but he gets nostalgic sometimes even sheds tears, so I want to make these for him and see if it brings back any happy memories ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you

This reminded me of the line from To Kill a Mockingbird: Ladies bathed before noon, after their three-o'clock naps, and by nightfall were like soft teacakes with frostings of sweat and sweet talcum.

I love the simple but delicious recipe. Miss Lori, I really enjoyed the history of the tea cookies. God bless you and Mr. Brown and your family.

Thank you so much! My neighbor, when I was 7 and she had to be at least 80, used to make yummy lemon tea cakes...a very fond, delicious memory for me! Thank you!

My mom used to make these all the time but sadly she passed away suddenly at the age of 54 and she never wrote the recipe down. Thanks for sharing the recipe. I can now make them myself.

Those tea cakes look amazing! I used to make a recipe from Germany when I was a little girl. The recipe book disappeared from my mom's house, but they looked much like these but with raisins in them. They were my favorite! I hope someone can share the recipe I've been searching for, for 40 years. Until then, these will do nicely. Thank you again Miss Lori. ❤😊

HELLO SWEET MS LORI! HAVE ENJOYED THIS VIDEO TODAY AND GOOD LORD WILLING I WILL MAKE THESE SOON! LOVE AND PRAYERS ❤❤❤LINDA FROM VA.🎉🎉😊

I still remember my Grandmother called Granny making tea cakes. She didn't measure nothing, and they were so good. I still wish I had some, and her recipe too. Thanks

My Grandma made wonderful tea cakes. No one has been able to replicate hers. When anyone else makes it, they're just sugar cookies. These look similar. Thank you.

My Mom told me that when she was growing up, she couldn't wait to get home from school every evening to eat one of her Mom's tea cakes. They were poor, living in the mountains of Kentucky. My Papaw worked in the coal mines to provide for six children. I'm sure my grandmother only had the basics to make tea cakes with, but my Mom always looked forward to her treat!

Oh I remember my grandmother making these. She cooked in a lunch room to. My Grannie made syrup cakes, but I have never found a recipe for them. She made them from scratch. They were so good. Thank you for this recipe. ✝️💟

My husband is always talking about his grandmothers teacake cookies. I can’t wait to surprise him with this recipe. ❤

My mother in law would give the kids oranges for Christmas but they had to save the orange peels and she would dry them. They were grated and added to her tea cakes!

My Mama had the best tea cake recipe and now I have it and I've given it to my nieces. They remember when grandma made her tea cakes but never knew how to make them. Now they do. I love the memories of my mom.

They look just like the ones my grandma made and I’ve wished for a recipe!!! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe with us!! ❣️❣️❣️

I think those little spoons are called demitasse spoons. They are typically used for coffee drinks. The cookies looks delicious. ❤

I’ve not heard “laripin” in yrs…never seen it in print…the word flooded my mind with precious memories. My💗💗💗GRANDmother born 1900/died ‘96 used that word. Ty for the word to describe your Tea Cakes. I plan to bake these tomorrow. Family will ♥️ with milk!👦🏼👱🏼‍♀️👩🏼👨🏻‍💻🧑🏻 #2 batch, I’ll share with my elderly neighbors. 💗💙♥️🤗

My Mama always talked about my Granny’s tea cakes and how much she loved them growing up. Mama didn’t have the recipe nor did any of her sisters. She said the cookies were crispy on the edges and like cake in the middle. I’m going to try these. I’ll have them with coffee on the porch and think of her. ❤️

Thank you Ms. Lori! My husband talks about the old fashioned tea cakes he used to eat when he was younger. I will be making these tomorrow! Hugs from south Alabama!

Miss Lori, you are so blessed to have a sweetheart like Mr Brown! Those cookies look yummy! I think I can even smell 'em.....mmmmmmm.......... Love from Oregon💘

Mr. Brown is a lucky, happy, and smart man. Kindness to your spouse is the right way.

My Son & 1 daughter live in Bryant, but I have a granddaughter that lives in Clarksville, Ar. My later mother in law was from Alabama and she taught me southern cooking & baking. She was the best. M mother & I were from Germany & from her & my German family I was taught German baking & cooking. My father was first generation American his parents were from Poland. My grandparents passed when I was young. My father was ten years older than my mother and was 32 when I was born. So his sisters & he taught me Polish cooking & baking. While living in Europe I traveled & learned many old world recipes. I was a History Major & one thing I loved is following recipes along with settlers across this country. Thank you so much for sharing.

I have never had tea cakes, they look and sound delicious, thank you for sharing the recipe and looking forward to your new cookbook!

DELICIOUS! Old school tea cakes are the best✨😋

Thank You Ms. Lori for this Tea Cake recipe. Mr. Brown has a look of a very happy kid. He is blessed with a wonderful wife.

Old fashioned tea cake cookies, takes this 73 year old child so far back to early childhood days when these cookies were a real treat . Thank you for sharing. I'm tempted to try them myself. God bless.

Powder Sugar has Corn Starch in it and that helps the cookies brown and as you stated crisp up.

Hi Miss Lori. When my sisters and I were young we wanted to make snickerdoodles but we didn’t have cinnamon or nutmeg. So we skimmed our Momma’s really old cookbook and found a recipe for a soft cookie and it called for ground mace. We had no idea how that recipe would follow us into our adulthood. Our cookie recipe reminds me of your tea cake cookies. Yours look so delicious!

Ms Phyllis (Stokes), good memories,just watched her make bread pudding yesterday!!🌹

Those look like little snicker doodle cookies. I use to love when they made the big ones at school

Thank you so much for this recipe! My mama and I were literally just talking about those good teacakes from days of old. I can't wait to make these! ❤

I will try this recipe and have my granddaughter try them. She's taking culinary art . Older recipes can taste as good as the new ones.

My mama makes fabulous tea cakes! My daddy eats ‘em as fast as they come out of the oven!

All i know is my grandmaws were the best. I'm going to give these a try, I Hope they are good. I'm 65 and I need a tea cake to go with my coffee. Have not had one since she passed in 82. Thanks for the cooking. I grew up in Pope county.

Mr Browns favorite spoon. Can't wait to make these. My Mom use to make these. Thank you Ms. LORI! I BET YOU ALL ARE JUST KILLED FROM WORKING. Lv an Prayers to all.

I've been looking for a tea cake recipe for 35+ years! Those look like the ones I had when I was a child. 💕

It doesn’t get any better than this. I have watched this several times, not because I cannot remember where my recipe is but because this video makes me happy. Thank you, Judy

My aunt gave me her recipe back in the 80's. She always brought her tea cakes to our family reunions. I enjoy making these and yes they're great with coffee 😊

Thanks for this recipe! I'm a tea drinker and cannot wait to make these💗

My grandma used to make these...I love them

I got a book to write down your recipes, it has a picture of a stove like yours and a picture of a sign , it says God Bless our home.

I love watch you ,you are calming and soft spoken and I love your house an all the old things you have sitting around. God bless you both, Connie

Mmm just what I need to go with my favorite cup of tea, green with honey. Thanks for sharing💞

My Mother made tea cakes when I was a little girl, and I loved them. I don’t think she ever wrote down the recipe. Thank you so much for posting this!❤

Ohhhhhhhh, I can't wait to make these! They look delicious! I'm 55 yrs young. I've heard of them but have never tasted one. I will be shopping and then making these this weekend. :) Thank you Miss Lori

I so enjoyed watching you make these. My great grandmother would always have a platter of these cookies on her dinning buffet. I just love you.

Oh my goodness when I heard you say they were larrupin I went back in time. My mother used to say that all the time when she thought something was very delicious. I will have to try this recipe for sure. Thank you!

@Whippoorwill Holler Hi Lori & Mr. Dan, I was up last night ,actually searching your videos for a Teacake Recipe . You must have been thinking of me . I love tea cakes and have seen so very many recipes for them. I knew your recipe would be the one I was searching for. Thank you ,Hugs always XOXOXO Anita S from NJ 🥰 🙏🏽 P.S. I had a recipe that used Lard ( Crisco)

Dear Ms. Lori... Thank you for your wonderful inspiration and recipes that you share I have only been watching you for a couple of months and have enjoyed you and Mr. Brown so much. If you do order anymore of your other cookbook I would love to buy it for me and possibly order some for my friends. I know this is from a year ago... So I do not know where you are in the process of them. Also thank you for mentioning Emeralds tabletop oven. Bought one for myself at Christmas and now I am excited to open it and make this my first recipe in it. I truly do appreciate you both and your chanel. Kimberly

My Mother’s favorite cookies and my Granny spoiled Mother 🥰

Thank you Ms Lori for sharing your tea cake cookie recipe. I will appreciate your recipe. I really hope I get to purchase one of your cookbooks I really wanted one of the old ones but didn't get to get one I came in late finding out about it. Hopefully my tea cakes will turn out like yours😁

Can not wait to make these! Thank-you Miss Lori! ❤

Never had a tea cake but will make your recipe. I have your first cookbook and appreciate all your hard work. Please take your time and take care of yourself and Mr Brown. How is Peaches 🍑 and the babies?

GOD BLESS YOU AND MR BROWN. Thank you for helping us to make this wonderful tea cake.

This is a little different from my mother-in-law’s recipe. I used to make them at Christmas every year. Recently a friend visited us. One of the things he remembered from 40 years ago was my tea cakes. I made a batch for him (my hubby was happy about that). He was so happy!

We love you too so much! These cookies are so yummy my mom used to make them all the time! I want one of your old cookbooks so bad but I missed out on it just make sure that one of the new ones comes my way! It gives me something great to look forward to. You could write a book on how to clean your toenails and I swear I would buy it LOL 🙄

Thank you for taking me back to rainy days in my Mother’s cozy kitchen with my coloring book and the smell of tea cakes in the oven. Blessed days and memories. You are the best. God be with you.

My “granny” made these. They are still my favorite!

Thank you Ms. Lori for this recipe. I am going to make them real soon and will let you know how they came out. My Dad was a baker and chef and these cookies remind me of his snickerdoodles. I think that I will love them.

Ohhhh my I have memories of my bonus grandmother making tea cakes and haven’t known or heard anyone mention them. I have looked for recipes but never made. Thanks for stirring up that memory😝💜

Love your recipes. I'm older than you but I like to try your recipes. God Bless You and your husband.

Just love y’all. I am a grandmother and I could live y’all for sure

My grandma used to make tea cakes and she would usually put nutmeg in the batter. I need to make some!

Those looked delicious Ms. Lori. I am making tea cakes this weekend. Have a good weekend. 💞

Before I retired I worked with a lovely lady from Louisiana fore many years. She would make the most wonderful tea cakes for us. These look delicious I can’t wait to try these.

When I asked for the last cookbook you were sold out. Please start a list and please put me on the list. Thanks for sharing this fine recipe.

Oh my goodness, I am so glad to get this recipe. I have always heard about the southern teacake cookies from the old days. I have never had a teacake cookie, and being a northerner (Illinois) they were never part of my mom's recipes. I will definitely be making these this weekend. Thanks for sharing the history of teacakes, it was very interesting.

I’ve always wondered about the tea cakes I’m so happy to see that you made them, they look delicious. I love the old home recipes, I learned all my cooking ways from my mama and I’m so glad that I cared enough to listen to her & learn from her. I can’t wait til your cookbook is completed, 🙂 Love you guys.

Thank you Mrs lorri and Mr brown for being out there. Bless you both.

My little Texas mama looked high and low for a Tea Cake recipe to make ones like her mother made. We looked high and low and never found one. She has been gone for twenty two years now, so in honor of her, I’m going to make these with my daughters. Love your channel. Thank you for the recipe.

Oh I’d love a cookbook from you. Even the older one. How can I search for one? Please let me know if you have any more. Thank you so much for your videos. My mom worked for years as a cafeteria employee and loved her job. She kept money in her pocket and paid for the kids food who didn’t have enough money for their food. ❤

They look absolutely delicious!! I’ve never made them before and the only thing that I can think of that are similar are shortbread cookies. But we use softened butter not melted and we don’t use any granulated sugar just powdered sugar and of course flour and instead of vanilla extract we use almond extract but only a little bit. I look forward to getting a copy of your cookbook Miss Lorie, I think you are absolutely a gem and I enjoy watching you and Mr. Brown and it’s been such a wonderful experience to just sit back and enjoy one of your videos. Thank you for sharing!! Absolutely love visiting with you. God bless. 🥰❤️🙏🏻🇨🇦

Oooooh my favorite; my mom use to make those; memories!😊

My mama made these a lot when I was growing up! If she had raisins, she would add a few! We thought they were so good! Thanks for reminding me!

These look delicious and such a simple recipe. I bet they taste like snickerdoodles with the added cinnamon on top. Snickerdoodle cookies are my favorite! Thank you for this recipe! I love it when you tell the history of these older recipes.🥰

I would love to try those cookies with a fresh, hot cup of coffee right now! I'll be using your recipe the next time around. Thank you for sharing. If you do sell your original cookbook again I definitely want to order one. Stay warm and safe. God bless both of you!

Yall are Amazing! Even if u dnt use her recipes. She is just Amazing to listen to ❤

Love watching you calm demeanor while cooking

My Dad loved these cookies. I’m for sure going to try this!

I love the old ways, the old recipes, etc. Home grown, canning, and scratch cooking can't be beat. It's the best tasting food to be eaten. I thank you so much for this recipe, Ms. Lori. I'm going to bake up a batch next week for some out of town company coming in. I love your channel and pray for continued prosperity in the Lord. God bless and keep y'all.

I will be. Asking these tomorrow. Thank you for being here to help me try the good old day recipes

Good evening! I haven't had a tea cake in years! My sister used to make them, and yours look identical to hers, crisp on the outside chewy on the inside! She's in Heaven now, and of course, she never shared the recipe! 😞 I will definitely make this recipe! Thanks for sharing! ❤️
