About this product
Product Information
- The 1st American Cookie Lady is based on the 76-page cookie diary of Anna Cookie Covington, which contains 208 delicious recipes from a WWI-era American kitchen. Anna's journal, kept between 1917 and 1920, predates the first cookie recipe books published in the 1920's and just might be the first American collection of cookie recipes. Even though Barbara presents these recipes exactly as they appear in the original diary, she also shares helpful tips and hints on baking, updates for many of the recipes, fun cookie poems, baking superstitions, and dozens of photos and illustrations.

Fun Easy to Follow ORIGINAL COOKIE LADY & RECIPE Book, Great for Holidays
This is a quaint, easy to read, and interesting book about the origin of most COOKIE recipes. It is such a fun read I gave one to our Head Baker who took it home and loved it. We enjoy authentic, genuine and original recipes for our baked goodies. We use natural products and the Original COOKIE Lady sure had her way of dealing with life-it was baking COOKIES that kept her sane while raising a gaglet of children (keiki here in HI) Interesting little stories. Great, easy to follow methods for baking just about any COOKIE. Highly recommend this book!

Very interesting for those of us that love baking and historical baking.
Amazing to see the lower levels of sugar in much of the baking. (healthier for us. :) ) The friend i sent it to is married to a chef and he enjoyed learning from it as well.
