[@no_activity]

I make a caramel cookie that's very delicious. Take your standard sugar cookie recipe, but infuse the sugar with bourbon (cheaper is better). I also add butterscotch chips, but they are optional. What isn't optional is that you need to add about 5-10 minutes (or so) to your bake time. The result is a cookie that's a unique texture that's crisp, but melts in your mouth. I believe that the extra liquid combined with the extra bake time allows the sugar to caramelize more, that the alcohol evaporation creates extra air bubbles that create the honeycomb texture, and that the flavors in the bourbon enhance the flavors of the caramelized sugar.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your channel and history lessons. By the way, the cookies are delicious and almost "gone" at our house. I learned how to bake from my grandmother Olga. My father learned from her as well, in the kitchen daily, while he was growing up. Fast forward to WW ll and when dad was a navigator in the U.S. Air Force, his crew was shot down over Germany. Yet his cooking prowess helped him when the German generals and officers at the POW camp he was sent to were in dire need of a cook. You guessed it; my father's time in captivity was spent in the kitchen. His meals were welcomed and the rest is history, one might say. He was always growing vegetables, canning, and hunting game for feeding our family. I know cooking is creative and a labor of love! Thanks again Glen. 😄

My Grandmothers would do veggie salads using lemon Jello. They would each use some vinegar to override the sweetness of the Jello. They both liked to use the lemon Jello because it was light enough in color so that you could see what was in the salad. They let it thicken up & the added all of their chopped veggies. Put everything into a mold & chill to firm it up. Unmold & serve. For awhile Jello had a savory flavor just for salads.

[@karenstewart8818]

[@sarahbabbitt4152]

This recipe is similar to a cookie we’ve made every Christmas: caramel cream sandwich cookies. When my mom grew up in Minneapolis in the 40s and 50s, Mrs. Stockwell across the street made a similar cookie in which she took two caramel cream sugar cookies and put buttercream icing in between. She didn’t have children of her own so she brought dozens to my mom’s family of nine children. To this day, we call them Mrs. Stockwell’s caramel cream cookies. I absolutely love them. A little labor intensive, but totally worth it.

[@justmutantjed]

10:16 - I've heard of a lot of atrocities being committed with Jell-O/gelatin, but thankfully I've never experienced the ones with meats and seafoods in them (I am using a little hyperbole here). My grandparents survived the 1930s and the subsequent food trends that went along with & after them. A regular fixture at the family table in my youth was Jell-O salad with veggies and/or fruit in them, but I've never been a fan. If we're honest, I'm not a huge fan of gelatin-based snacks at all anymore, but as a kid I would go in for a small serving of fruit-flavoure Jell-O every now and then.

[@virginiaf.5764]

"I don't have those same fears". That's what makes your chann3 so enjoyable.

[@Graham-ce2yk]

I found the introduction fascinating, most advertising related recipie books, such as the one's you've covered in the past were put out by food manufacturers to sell their product. In this case you have a third party making up recipe books to be given away to customers at various businesses. It reminds me of 'Plan books', these were books of house plans drawn up by various architectural firms and published in the names of various hardware stores/lumber yards around the US. The idea was that someone wanting a new house would read one of these designs and follow up by writing to whatever firm was named on the cover to purchase the plans for their dream home. I also noticed the 'Nº. 1' after the name, I'm assuming that referred to the set of recipes contained in that book. A quick search for 'The Bunting System' bought up a book entitled 'Kitchen Guide' dating from 1920 attributed to the same company so that pushes their history back to before the Great Depression.

[@regrich4720]

The pages of the cookbook at 2:56 include a recipe for City Chicken which I grew up eating in Detroit and have seen it in Cleveland but outside of those 2 cities, I have never heard of anyone knowing about it or making it. I always thought of it as being a regional dish, and since there is a Poish restaurant in Cleveland that serves it, I thought maybe it was a Polish dish, since both cities had large Polish populations. I still make it, but with all pork and a lot more ingredients and a couple more steps, as I have tweaked the recipe over the years.

[@sbender3787]

I was going to make a similar comment. City chicken is a regional dish usually near Polish communities in the Midwest. I did not know this as I grew up in the metro Detroit area and it is common here both in restaurants and in the butcher's cases when they have ready to cook specialies. I was surprised that it wasn't widely known.

[@gordonmacqueen8694]

Into the 1990s, a butcher that we visited a lot in Saginaw had City Chicken in the case to take home and bake. It was quite good, representing a time when pork was significantly cheaper than chicken. I've thought about making it but maybe I'll go visit Cleveland instead :)

[@reneereb6499]

I am from the Pittsburgh area, and my family had "City Chicken " Your theory could apply as the Pittsburgh area has a large Polish / Slovak heritage population.

I am the grandson of Polish immigrants in the Detroit area and can confirm we had City Chicken, too. I always dipped mine in ketchup.

Were they ground beef and white rice and other ingredients mixed together and made into balls and cooked in tomato sauce of some kind. I got the recipe somewhere and made them as a teenager, my family loved them.

[@susanboon4605]

I was fascinated by the recipe for city chicken on page 26 (which contains pork and veal, but no chicken at all). Throughout the recipe they refer to the meat as "chicken". I then saw that someone grew up eating that same recipe! Also, I am old enough to remember when Jell-o came with powder and a large gumdrop-shaped liquid- filled nugget. You had to keep stirring until it was melted completely or the Jell-o wouldn't set properly.

[@evelynkorjack2126]

i am still making city chicken, but no longer with veal, using only pork tenderloin. Not the same, but still delicious , my mom used to make it and it was a favorite

[@EternalElir]

I made a couple batches of these this past weekend for my grandfather's 97th birthday -- I wanted to make a recipe of something he might've had when he was younger. They were a big hit! I have had several requests to make and send them out for the holidays. I did add 2 tsp of cinnamon to the flour mixture. For the second batch I added the sugar to the top after cutting them out that way I wasn't incorporating it in when I re-rolled the cutout dough, although those turned out fine as well. Bake time in my oven was around 15-18 minutes depending on how hard you want them. At 1/4" thick they had a crunchy, gingerbread like texture to them. If you do 1/2" on the lower end of the cook time you get something softer and a bit closer to a snickerdoodle. Great recipe, thanks for sharing Glen!

This brought back memories of when I was just getting into cooking on my own. My mom had this very old (to me at least) book called White House Cook Book (not certain on the publishing date, thought it was late 1800s). I opted to try making the cooked caramel custard. I'd helped mom make caramel in the cast iron so how hard could it be? I distinctly remember panicking when the recipe advised, 'For the best custard, immediately after milking your cow...' Suddenly I was worried that the jug of pasteurized milk I'd pulled out would be a mistake. I soldiered on. (Never let the food win.) By the time mom came home all these little cups of custard were nicely chilled. They would have tasted nicely too had I not scalded the caramel! I am sure the cookbook is in storage, would love to find it again. I've got to try that recipe soon, now that I have a good number of years under my belt. Thank you for the great video and the trip down memory lane.

[@charleslayton9463]

I have both an original and a repro "White House Cookbook." Pretty sure most of the recipes never saw the inside of the White House kitchen, though. I love old cookbooks!

This sounded very familiar to me. So slightly different proportions but basically Toll House Cookies without the chocolate chips. I make this all the time with just pecans since I don’t always want chocolate. I love someone’s comment about toasting the white sugar. I would melt the sugar, let it cool then grind it up in my blender to see that that would taste. I have always thought about just brown sugar but was afraid they would be too soft.

[@jeffreyharville1918]

My mother would make a similar cookie, but, instead of makeing a ball to put in the fridge, she would roll it into a cylinder and wrap in cling wrap. It would be about an inch or inch and a half wide and maybe 14 to 16 inches long. AND then, when she felt like it, (and nobody had gotten into the dough!) She would slice off about a half inch thick slice and press them out to size. These cookies dough logs, would last for a long time in a freezer, that is until somebody found them hiding behind the frozen peas :) !!

If you want to get a sense of life in America in the 1920 or 1930s, I recommend the books by Frederick Lewis Allen, published within a year of the end of the decade. 'Only Yesterday' for the 1920, 'Since Yesterday' for the 1930. And 'The Big Change' published in 1951 that chronicles the transformation from 1900-1950. I don't remember there being much on cooking/recipes, other than JP Morgan arriving home late Jan 1, 1900, to at best a cold dinner since the cook had gone to bed, but they give real context to the time without the gloss of being written up decades later.

@Glen And Friends Cooking perhaps you’ve answered this before, but why do you not add the sugar in with the butter at the start and instead “cream” the butter alone? When I make Tollhouse cookies I always cream the shortening (Crisco) with the sugar together and skip creaming it separately. Just curious if you have a particular reason for the order of operations? Seems like a superfluous step to me.
