Brief Description

Easter Cookies Recipe - Stephanie @Midget Momma: \\\"So the first thing I think of when I think of Easter is my great Nana’s forgotten cookies. Only on Easter we would be allowed to have these cookies as a tradition. Every year the night before Easter my mom and my siblings would get out my Nana’s old recipe card and make these cookies together. The reason they’re called forgotten cookies is because they would be left to dry out in the oven overnight. Now that my mom is Nana she loves having the opportunity to make these for her grandchildren. When I make these cookies I have to do it the way I was taught so I prefer to use a hand mixer and I also use my grandmothers bowl. These cookies taste so decadent like they are very hard to make but actually there are only four ingredients and are very simple to make.\\\"

Notes:

"You may add chopped walnuts or pecans but I don’t add them because that’s the way I was taught to make them. Don't look at them: It is best to leave these cookies in overnight. To remind people not to open up the oven door I leave a little sign warning them not to open. The residual heat from preheating your oven will cook the cookies. In the morning you can take them out of the oven and just peel them off aluminum foil. Enjoy" posted by Stephanie at Midget Momma, linked below. *servings & prep/cooking times are approximate: original recipe does not state. cooking time is based on number of hours needed to leave cookies in over, not heated or door opened.
