Today’s specials: Cookies, Cookies and Cookies - Betty Crocker Recipes

I got this Betty Crocker Cooky recipe book from Mrs. Vanard, and it is a really old book. I have to look up the book details, it has wonderful cookie recipes (including brownies, bars, etc). Here is the website address: http://www.bettycrocker.com/
I made the stir and drop cookies(sugar and oatmeal), what it means is, you put your ingredients and stir, and then with a tsp drop them on a cookie sheet.

The sugar recipe yielded lots of cookies (unfortunately, I put either too much of the vanilla essence or the fresh grated lemon rind) because it has a bitter after taste. I have to see how to use them with something else, so the bitter taste gets neutralized. Other than that, it is really easy, and they look so cute!!

The only thing extra in my recipe is the 1/2 tsp lemon rind (grated lemon skin, but I think you leave that out, maybe that was what gave the bitterness, I must have not grated it right!)
The oatmeal cookie made a small batch of cookies (about 20 something). But they are soooooo good! I think i am going to make another batch if possible. I couldn’t find this recipe on the website.
And did I mention, I am not a baker, and I could still manage these recipes!
