The FAT Cookie

“It started in the kitchen at my grandmas table smelling freshly baked cookies, bars and cakes. Something was always freshly baked ready to share for morning coffee. My “town” Grandma Veva was always baking. Her pies were the best. My “farm” Grandma Blanche would go to her gardens for her ingredients to bake, talk about fresh strawberries. My mother who lived on the Easter farm made the BEST sugar cookies! That recipe is a well kept secret! She was especially famous for her Thanksgiving turkey cookies. My mother was brave. I can't believe it but at age 7, my mom would let me take a step stool, mix my own cookie dough and use the big oven by myself! That’s where my love of baking began… I am the oldest generation now and with that comes all the recipes handed down from generations…and I am mean GENERATIONS.”
