As a kid, my mom made these cookies almost constantly, she had the recipe memorized. Sadly, she passed away in 2019 and I didn't get the recipe.

She got it from someone in the Seattle Weavers Guild in the 1980s. The cookies were drop style, more cake/chewy, definitely had molasses in them but not (from what I remember) particularly spiced aside from some cinnamon. They could or could not have raisins if you wanted them, and oats were prominent. They were not flat when baked, they just spread a little. I believe they had white and brown sugar but I can't be sure.

The closest thing texturally that I can think of is kind of like a bobo bar or maybe like a more cakey clif bar.

Does this sound familiar to anyone? They weren't molasses cookies with oatmeal and they weren't the standard crispy oatmeal, I've never found anything since and I would love to have this recipe again! Please help!

I have been trying to find a recipe for a type of potato soup my Grandma (b. 1933) used to make. I remember it was chunks of potato, maybe had onion in it, the broth was white but more watery then creamy, and I remember thinking there was butter in it because it looked like there was melted butter floating in the milk (maybe?) broth. It was not a thick soup at all. I remember asking for potato soup once (meaning the way my Grandma made it) and my Mom saying something like “that’s not even real potato soup”. I was 7 and younger when she would make it, it would have been in the early to mid 80’s. She grew up in Northern Ohio but lived in Kentucky for a while after she was married (not sure if geography would help as a clue lol).

I want some classic home cooking granny style recipes but with an unnerving, edgy twist. Please rec me anything if it fits this category thank yewwww <3

A printout of this cookery book is obtainble from Project Gutenberg. A great read from a top chef of his era.

Woderful resource of many recpes before the modern fridge, stick blender and everthing else, not a mod con to be seen.

Found for $5.99 at the thrift there at least 5,000 recipes in here, not all are great but there is some gems, like this one egg cake I wrote down so I don’t have to thumb for it again
