Julia's Collections

When my mother passed away 20 years ago, my sisters and I had the not-so-fun job of going through her treasures. No one spoke for her recipe collections, so I grabbed them. You see, my mom was a fantastic cook. It seemed a shame to me to have those recipes go unclaimed! Well, here we are, 20 years later; and those recipes have rested in their special place on my closet shelf waiting to be tried . . . .

Roz's Chocolate Cookies

Sunday was Roz Capell's birthday and some of her friends were going over to the nursing home on Monday to have a little party. I volunteered to take some cookies. The "Chocolate Cookie" recipe in Mom's collection had my name as the contributor, but it was actually a recipe that I got from my friend Roz. Roz also taught school at Lincoln Junior High when Mom was a secretary there, so they actually knew each other before I moved across the street from Roz. Anyway, I thought it was only appropriate that I should take Roz's recipe of cookies to Roz's little party. She liked them.

CHOCOLATE COOKIES
1/4 cup butter or margarine
2 cups sugar
2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 cup oil
4 eggs
3/4 cup cocoa
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
2 cups flour
Mix in order given. Chill 2 hours. Make into balls & roll in powdered sugar. Bake 375°F. Do not overbake. Makes 45 large cookies.

  1. Yay - I wanted a recipe for those - I've always thought my boys would like them. I'll have to give them a try!
