Honest truth – I enjoy baking. Not only do I enjoy baking, I love it. My friends will attest to this – they have been the receivers of many of these treats (the good, the bad, and the ugly). Now baking a ration-era recipe is very different. With shortages on supplies such as sugar, baking became a treat in the house.
From gathering the ingredients to pulling the last batch out of the oven, I spent about an hour in the kitchen making these cookies. With very little mess to clean up afterward, this recipe would be the perfect treat to make with small children.
I hope you enjoy these as much as I did!
