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 . . . .

Trip Treats - Chocolate Brownies / Ice Box Cookies

Can't go on a trip without treats, right? Doug & I decided to go to Park City for our 42nd anniversary. Since Coray's family was coming up to celebrate Father's Day I knew I had some willing cookie eaters. So, I decided to make one of the many brownie recipes and a batch of cookies. The brownies were especially good - very cake-like. I would have loved to add the walnuts, but I left them out for Coray :). I cut the Icebox Cookies recipe to 1/3 and glad I did. It still made 20 large cookies - what would I have done with 60! Suggestion on the cookies though - don't use that much soda. I can taste it a little in the cookies, but they're still good.
