Slice N Bake Oatmeal Cookies

The 2015 resolution is still on! But you know as I … Complete deprivation often leads to resolution failure … with respect to dietary changes.

Thumbprint Cookies In A Hurry

Inspired by Bothof’s Bakery and Betty Crocker! Chocolate or Jelly Thumbprint Cookies from Bothof’s were a childhood favorite. The convenience of the bakery vanished with our move to the country.

This is a quick recipe with few ingredients. Top it with a candy kiss or peanut butter cup or Rolo. My favorite is still a small dollop of chocolate or raspberry jam or jelly. This cookie is so basic in flavor any number of toppings can be used. Love it!

BTW low sugar.

Who’s recipe is this anyway? For years I’ve been shuffling this cookie recipe in and out of my recipe box without trying it … Looking at it … Wondering where it came from … Not recognizing the newspaper  clipping.

An internet search for Applesauce Oaties brings up Mrs. Field’s Applesauce Oaties … the recipe looks identical. But Mrs. Field’s wasn’t up and running in 1975. Was it? The REGISTER September 18, 1975 article doesn’t give mention to the origin. At least not my portion.

Pumpkin Cookies

A cookie recipe I made last year around this time. I might use licorice this year or black and orange yogurt raisins to decorate the faces. Not into faces? This cookie is good without them too.
