My Award Winning Cookies.<\/h2>\n
\"Award<\/a><\/p>\n
In 1979, when I was 11 years old I entered a baking contest.\u00a0 Actually, I believe my grandmother entered me. \u00a0 I had entered a recipe for cookies called “Holiday Treats”.\u00a0 You can call anything “holiday” if it has the color red in it.\u00a0 This achievement of mine had faded along with other distant memories until I went to visit my mother.\u00a0 My grandmother who is now in her 90’s had just moved in with my mom and was unpacking her boxes.\u00a0 She came across the cookbook for the “1979 Colorado-Fayetteville County Pecan Bake Show.<\/p>\n
\"1979<\/a><\/p>\n
I couldn’t believe my eyes.\u00a0 I had no idea she had saved this all these years.\u00a0 Immediately I got out my phone and took a picture.<\/p>\n
You could definitely tell that an 11-year-old wrote this recipe.\u00a0 I listed all the ingredients and then the directions.\u00a0 Can you read that?<\/p>\n
\"Award<\/a><\/p>\n
Mix it all together and bake at 325 degrees for 12 minutes.\u00a0 No, it didn’t say to mix all the wet ingredients and then add the dry ingredients.\u00a0 It didn’t say beat the eggs or chop the pecans.\u00a0 No, none of that.\u00a0 Simply mix it all together. By Kari Kindred, hence The Kindred Way.<\/p>\n
Nowadays I normally use a mixer when I make cookies but I can guarantee 100% that my grandmother did not use a mixer.<\/p>\n
I decided to make this recipe according to the directions.\u00a0 So, I mix it all together all at once in one big bowl.\u00a0 I started mixing with a big spoon but that was taking forever so I used the mixers that God gave me, my hands and I mixed it all together.\u00a0 As I was mixing, I remembered…..yep, this is how I did it back in the day.\u00a0 These cookies turned out better than any cookies I have had for a long time.\u00a0 I guess the great memories helped it taste better too.<\/p>\n
Enjoy!<\/p>\nPrint<\/a><\/span>
