royal chip cookies
I found an old church cook book at an estate auction and this was one of the recipes in it. I love this one. It makes a large batch of cookies as many as 9 dozen depending on the size of cookie you like to make. At my house small just doesn't work! lol So hope you all enjoy this recipe. It is a keeper! Along with the recipes was this poem. The Cookie Jar You may talk about your vases, just how beautiful they are. But to me there's nothing nicer than a well filled cookie jar. Ginger cookies, raisin cookies, some with walnuts, some with spice, Orange cookies, chocolate cookies, why, I think they all are nice. And that cookie jar of Mothers Stands upon the pantry shelf. When I'm hungry she will tell me I may go and help myself. Yes, I've seen some handsome vases, Brought from near or from far, But there's nothing that is prettier, Than a well filled cookie Jar!
