How to Make Delicious Cookies That Are Easy to Ship to Soldiers, Kids at College, Etc #7
Everyone loves a good cookie. When we have loved ones away from home whether at camp, school, or even in the military, cookies are a way to send them a taste of home. Here are a couple of recipes to make your loved one's day! The Chewy Scotch Squares recipe is older than the Pillsbury Bake-Off. I'm sure these cookies have been sent to the soldiers of several wars. Pecan cookies are always delicious and ship easily.
CHEWY SCOTCH SQUARES
3/4 cup sifted all-purpose flour
1 tsp double-acting baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup butter
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/3 cup peach or apricot preserves or jam
1 1/2 cups quick-cooking oats
Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Melt the butter in a 2-quart saucepan. Add the brown sugar to the melted butter and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Stir in the preserves or jam to mix well. Add the oats to the flour mixture and mix thoroughly to blend. Add the butter mixture to the dry mixture and mix well. Cover a baking sheet that has sides with aluminum foil. Turn up the edges of the foil about 1/2-inch all the way around. Spread the dough in the center of the foil and spread to about a six-inch square. Bake at 300 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes. Dough will spread during baking. Cool 15 minutes; sprinkle with powdered sugar. Cut into squares or bars.
PECAN COOKIES
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
1 cup margarine
1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup powdered sugar
Cream the above ingredients together until light and fluffy. Add 2 EGGS and mix well.
4 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp vanilla
Mix together these last four ingredients until well blended. Add to the creamed mixture and mix well. Add 1 CUP of chopped pecans and stir into the mixture. Drop onto lightly greased cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 11 to 13 minutes.
Enjoy.
