How To Make Buttery Sugar Cookies

[@bvddan]

I remember walking home after elementary school in the 60's early 70's and we'd walk behind a bakery just before getting home if the owner/baker George noticed us he would bring out one of these for both of us as a free snack. These bring back fond memories. thanks for sharing. Also, you bought a dozen of anything he'd give you 13.

[@maximus1811]

Yes, they're called the bakers dozen. = (13) Such a treat😋🙋‍♀️

[@williej3831]

I never had these. Wish I had they look wonderful. I will make them

[@minicufer]

Please do more “old school” cafeteria recipes! Will make these for my children and show them what they’re missing out on. They’re always grateful the servings are small at their school because the food sucks. Lol. I also remember in TX they offered “pig cookies” (marranitos) for breakfast.

Yes! You're right Chicago cookies. I remember these cookies when I was in High School, Corliss High-Chicago, IL. The cookies were 10cents. And they had the folk line on top. The good days!🤗

They are the best! I linked the article in the Chicago Tribune, that gives the back story of the cookies. 😊

Thank you Anjelica!... yeees def remember, I am a Chicago native. Attended public schools, and those cookies were awesome! When I was in second grade, I believe, a neighbor began working in the lunchroom and my mom asked her for the butter cookie recipe and she gave it to us... honey we made "lunchroom cookies" - as my friends and I called them - often! And in 'the Chi' they were made with "real" butter and it had a 'three finger imprint' on the cookies. Whenever we took these to any kind of gathering or folks had them at our home, they loooove them and would say "these taste like the lunchroom cookies"! We would say, 'they are'! and they'd always ask for the recipe and we always shared it. We know recipe by heart. 😄 ❤

I remember these. Texas in the 90s! These will bring back the best memories. Thanks for sharing the recipe. 🫶💕😊

[@gerardjohnson2106]

School cafeterias used dairy butter as it was provided as a government USDA "commodity" like cheese, peanut butter, ground beef, dried pintos and flour.

I remember the square shaped pizza that had ground beef as the topping. This totally makes sense. 👍🏼

[@pastda3]

Honestly, the way I remember it, government cheese was the best. We made toasted cheese bread slices and my mom made the best mac & cheese with it.

[@lorettamejia1643]

I remember those!!! So great!!! Loved them!!! Now I gotta make them!!! Thanks for memory and great recipes 😋

[@ChefJuliee]

OMG, I remember these!! That's awesome!! I'm gonna make these for my daughter. Thank you for the video and recipe.

Butter cookies were different than the sugar cookies. I wasnt a fan of sugar cookies or the snickerdoodle cookies.

I'm in Missouri and don't remember the cookies either, we also had the cinnamon rolls 😋

[@lauracastillo9410]

[@jilll5014]

Yes I remember these! I grew up in San Francisco, CA and we had these in the 1960’s in Elementary School. We also had peanut butter cookies like these as well for 10 cents each. Thanks for the memories and the recipe! 😊

Now I live in Florida(20 yrs). Going to make a batch to remember the good old days in school. Thank you so much.

[@chaguita8]

What school did you go to?

[@sdtamesd]

I attended schools in Houston, too! In the seventies, the school cafeteria had the best food! The pizza, chili hamburgers and the yeast rolls were the best tasting food. And of course, that delicious butter cookie!

[@ericat2]

I remember those cookies and loved them when I went to Berry Elem in Houston Texas 🥰 then we moved to Mission Texas and never had them again. Did you ever try the beef and bean burritos from the Texas cafeterias, those weren't free and they would come with a side of nacho cheese. I was too poor to buy them, so it meant everything when I could afford one of those burritos. If you know what I'm talking about, please share that recipe too 😋😋😋😋😋😋 I've made so may of your recipes and they are always a home run! 🥰 You're the best THANKS!!!!!

Ay! I went to Berry Elementary for kindergarten and 1st grade. 😊🙌🏼

@ lol me too! Kinder and 1st grade 😀😀

[@rhondaaubry7887]

I would get the deep-fried bean burrito almost every day in high school, 1975-1979...you could get them with a chili sauce, but mostly I got mine plain..I was born and raised in Houston Texas, but actually moved to Alief Texas in 1972...At one time Alief was considered Houston, until it was annexed around 1972...anyway, I loved the burritos, but only had the sugar cookies in middle school, in high school, I would buy packaged thin mint cookies, every day, they tasted exactly like the girl scout mints....
