[@peggydieckman6348]

Hi Anna I'm going to your channel and have been busy watching all of your videos to pass my day I'm retired I just found my mom's cookbook is a better homes and garden souvenir it has over 300 pages I was wondering if this is something that you have?

[@macsarcule]

Listen. I would watch 2 hour videos of you paging through a cookbook sharing your reactions. I’m not exaggerating, I’m not kidding. This is awesome to me. 🙂💜

[@Pippi-Longstocking]

This!!

[@sjs9354]

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. My kiddies loved the look of the candy cane cookies because they were so festive. I haven’t dug this cookbook out in years. Thanks for the reminder. I’m going to give it to my daughter.

[@hg-sv1fk]

My 22 month old son loves watching your videos. We watch a video every night before bed!

[@cooking_the_books]

This is so cute! 😊

[@staceyjohnson2929]

I found this book - the original printing in AMAZING shape- at an antique shop today for only $10. I almost choked and passed out. I texted everyone I know and was afraid someone would steal it from my cart. But it made it home with me! Yay!

[@cooking_the_books]

YES so glad you got a copy! And what a great price!

[@mjgee2713]

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. 💕

[@karenhogue8443]

Those cream wafers were very popular for bridal and baby showers while I was growing up.

[@Pippi-Longstocking]

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.

[@cooking_the_books]

Cookie swaps are getting more popular again in my area! Cookie tables at weddings are big here as well. I hadn't even heard of a cookie table until I moved here. 😂

[@swearenginlawanda]

My favorite cookbook of all time. The Bon bons are #1. A lifetime memory. My mother made them every year. She even sent me a batch when I was stationed in Germany.

[@littleblackcar]

I think the gingham dinosaur is a begging Scottie.

[@TheRetroHippieGirl]

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]

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.

[@Zastrava]

@@cooking_the_books Agreed! Slightly different proportions and no custard powder but definitely related to a nanaimo bar!

[@juliepena5146]

I remember that cookbook from my childhood. I don't know what happened to that copy but I found one of my own the other day for $2 at a thrift shop. I was so excited!

[@cooking_the_books]

YES I'm so glad you found a copy! It's such a fantastic book. Everyone needs it in their collection!

[@suzanneburg8363]

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!

[@houseonthehill7625]

Grew up with this book and had to buy a copy when I got married. How have I missed this lovely cookie all these years?

[@deniseborg2906]

I too have this original cookie book. My Mom and I would get together and bake up a storm for the holidays. This book was always used every year. Yummy!!!! Even though my mom has been gone for many years I still bake from this book every year....not only for the holidays but all year round. 🍪

[@maxinenall9950]

I bought this book in the 70's when my children were little. We tried to make all the cookies on the cover 😋 My kids loved every cookie in the book 😋

[@nancybleakley9332]

This cookbook has always been a favorite. Mine fell apart, but I was able to find an intact replacement. I remember trying as many recipes as possible when I was first married in 1979.

[@j.alexander3001]

From Michigan here. I've made/eaten the same thing. I've only ever heard these called "Nanaimo bars." I've heard that they're called that because they first came on the scene in Nanaimo British Columbia.

[@becky3023]

Wow! My mom had the same cook book (still does)! As a child, I, too, loved this cook book. Sometimes I would take it from the kitchen and flip through it like a regular book just because I loved looking at those pictures of all the cookies so much. So many memories!

[@tamaraw3620]

My mom made the candy cane cookies with peppermint instead of almond. Love them! Miss her! So glad to still have her cooky book. ❤

[@amyspeers8012]

I love notes I’m cookbooks as well. I have one of my mother’s and she highlighted her favorite recipes.

[@LoriFalce]

There has never been a better cookbook!

[@boething]

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.

[@paulasmith7803]

My mama had this book. I have no idea who has it now, so I just bought one.

[@clpjones1964]

My Mom had the original. She gave it to my sister in law, and bought a newer edition for me.

[@bromeo3032]

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.

[@cooking_the_books]

It's always nice to find a fellow Cooky Book lover! It's definitely coming out again this Christmas for some videos. 🍪

[@judyvance314]

I grew up with this one. It was published the year I was born. I spent hours and hours pouring over the pages and dreaming of making the beautiful cookies.

[@sandraf8210]

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

[@Cole110371]

You mentioned this one in another video that these are essentially Nanaimo bars. I love these so much! When I was in Canada I had them and was hooked!

[@brt5273]

There's a recipe for hard cooked egg cookies in "Aunt Becky's Traditional European Cookbook" from 1889. I was very curious about it but never tried making them. Also never saw a similar recipe again and have never come across the cookies or anyone who has ever made them. Now looking it up and there are many recipes for them online.

[@swearenginlawanda]

I actually was able to purchase 2 of these books in MINATURE for my dollhouses.

[@buckonono7996]

I have read that adding a hard cooked egg yolk to cookies made them tender with a soft texture. I forgot about that tip until now. Going to have to try that out myself.

[@Standinthegap4ever]

There’s a poem about a gingham dog & calico cat by Eugene Field. It’s really cute

[@user-ze2sr3us6j]

My mom had a copy and was used often when I was growing up.Was excited to find a copy several years ago at a garage sale.

[@lauriemarquis4887]

My late mother gave me her copy of this book. We made many of these recipes together.

[@smiller6925]

Our go to cookbook was the 50's Better Homes and Gardens cookbook. I did not own a Betty Crocker cookbook until the '80s which I was given so I could replicate some of my husband's childhood recipes.

[@jtamsmom5]

Mmmmmmm!!!

[@sheilagadde5975]

Enjoy your kind relaxed style. Appreciate your cooking from my baby boomer years. Just subscribed.

[@acaliaaidras5012]

The secret to using confectioner's sugar is to weigh it instead of measuring it. Not only is it more accurate, but it''s much less messy.

[@NorthCarolinaBBQ]

I am lucky to have the 1st edition 1st printing of Cooky Book from my husband's grandmother. It is a treasure but sadly the binding is in rough shape. Thanks for the fun video bc I did not ever think to check date or printing! She has p. 114 Fudge Meltaways earmarked! Walnut slices are the only other cookie on that page so it must have been a fav of hers I am guessing! Wish I could send a photo!

[@AtomicAmy]

Your videos are like a comfy warm blanket that soothes my soul and nurtures my heart! Thank you!

[@cooking_the_books]

Oh my gosh, thank you so much! Glad you are enjoying my videos. ❤

[@Pippi-Longstocking]

Omg. We had that gingham cookie recipe in another Betty Crocker book! Memories!!

[@Pippi-Longstocking]

Oh and the dinosaur is a Scottie dog sitting upright!

[@donnarion1147]

Bless You Tube for dropping you into my recommendations! You are such a fun reminder of my childhood (which was several years before yours!). I'm not a baker, but I subscribed anyway. I love your videos! 🙂

[@boething]

I used to decorate cakes, including wedding cakes. My entire kitchen would have a fine layer of powdered sugar when I was finished.

[@janemartin229]

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!

[@jenmatt1923]

I always measure powdered sugar in my sink then wash away the mess. 😊

[@dawnallison3070]

So glad I found this channel.

[@cooking_the_books]

So glad you're here! 😊

[@thefarmerswifecanada]

I’ve had this book. Not sure if you can relate, as a collector, but I purge things once in awhile. This book was in my collection years ago. I regret it so much now!!! 😢 It had all the classics.

[@cooking_the_books]

Yes, I have done this! I talk about it briefly in my newest video - I de-stashed a cookbook that I ended up re-buying years later. 😂

[@mitomom4947]

Yum! I love this cookbook as well. I’ve been baking from it since my aunt sent it to me and my sisters for Christmas in 1965! But i never screwed up my courage to make Fudge Meltaways. This coming December, that will change! Thank you, Anna. I love your channel! ♥️♥️♥️

[@cooking_the_books]

You will not be disappointed! I make these several times a year now because they’re my husband’s favorite cookie in the entire book. 😁

[@pen5532]

I grew up with that book and we only made cookies once or twice a year, but that was the book we used. It was either the russian tea cake recipe or snickerdoodles.

[@flowergranny3218]

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.

[@Rei.Eatsfoods]

If you ever see this book, definitely pick it up! It's such a nice and very useful addition to any cookbook collection.

[@lorilxn1597]

Thats always been my favorite one, I remember looking through it hundreds of times. This was in the late 60's and early 70's, my mom has the original and got me one for Christmas. I cherish it, btw, I was born in 1963. Candy Cane cookies are so delicious my youngest daughter's favorite. My grandma made tons of Christmas cookies and stored them in her attic in tins, you could go there anytime of the year and she'd make up a platter to go using clean foam meat trays and bakery bags. Always a nice summer treat 😊

[@cooking_the_books]

So many people have good memories attached to this book, myself included. One of my absolute favorites!

[@1904say]

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.

[@ladyrazorsharp]

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!

Thank you! I'm finding that this book is in a lot of households, and has even been passed down through the generations. It's a really wonderful addition to any cookbook collection.

[@cooking_the_books]

I feel like everyone needs this cookbook! If you're in search of a copy and don't need a vintage one, World Market had the early 2000's reprint for sale earlier this month. I also frequently see copies at Half Price Books for less than $5. I wish I had my mom's copy (no idea what happened to it), but the reprinted version appears exactly as the original. Thanks for watching!

[@ashleyyoung2459]

I have this one!

[@acaliaaidras5012]

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.

[@maxinenall9950]

OMG we loved making and eating the Cream Wafers 🥰 the fudge meltaways and the pinwheels 😋

[@cecoya]

Those are delicious I have made them before too. I actually cut them in triangles though, that way the tips can be bitten off by people and they get a taste before shoving the whole thing in their mouths lol. Have a great day

[@FeinDining]

Yay, a new video came quicker than we thought! This book is the bee's knees! Love the disclaimer, and the photos are lovely and came across fine on video! Your glee is so infectious! Don't get us wrong, we love the baking part of the video too! They turned out really good looking, and it's a good thing it's lunchtime now because boy did you make us hungry! Bravo 👏👏

[@cooking_the_books]

Thank you!! This cookbook is such a gem, and still so useful today. That's not to say that my other vintage cookbooks aren't useful...but I definitely come across more than a few questionable recipes when doing my research. 😆 I'm so glad you liked this one!

[@shelleysykes5317]

Just found you and have been watching all of the vids. This book is a huge part of my childhood. (I'm in my 60s.) My mom started baking for Christmas the day after T-giving. This is the book she used the most. She made a different type of cookie every day, and put them in these big potato chip cans! We tried, but we could never get to them, lol. She let us help with any cut outs or other cookie that needed decorating. Love these videos.

We had that cookbook. Wish I still had it. 😕

[@johannalong473]

Pineapple Raisin cookies are my families favorite for 3 generations now. It’s the raising variation for the pineapple cookies near the front of the book. We were lucky to get them baked because the dough tastes as good or better than the baked cookies.

I made the hard cooked egg cookies when I was like 14! If I remember correctly, they pretty much tasted like sugar cookies.

Thank you! Ohhh my gosh, I didn't even realize how close these are to Nanaimo bars. The last time I was in Canada was August 2019, and was super bummed that I didn't get to try Nanaimo bars. Then the pandemic hit and my Nanaimo bar hopes were shattered! You've made me realize that they were in my life all along. 😂

[@LouieLouie505]

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.

[@cooking_the_books]

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

Am I too much of a super fan that when I saw it was going to be a 20 minute video I thought "Fantastic! 20 minutes of Anna!!" This video made me so happy! That book is spectacular and I can see why it would have been highly influential on future Anna. The photos, the recipes, all of it's great. I"m pretty sure "teen nut bars" was actually a read. This cookie though was fascinating. Obviously very tasty, but it kinda reminds me of what up here in Canada we call a Nanaimo Bar Thank you so much for sharing this excellent recipe from an excellent book!

This is so nice! Seriously, comments like this make my day. I always worry that my videos are too long. 😄 Stephanie also pointed out that these are close to Nanaimo bars!
