A Word About the Recipes
The recipes included here come from community cookbooks
published in the 1930s-1980s around the United States. These
were amateur productions - no test kitchens were used.
Contributors offered their favorite recipes for these cookbooks,
and their favorites are likely to become yours.
Some of the recipes read as though your mother or grandmother
was dictating directions for something she had baked many times,
and the directions aren't overly specific. If you prefer more
detailed instructions you may want to choose another recipe there are plenty here.
To make it easy to find recipes we've divided the cookies into 13
sections each with a linked list of recipes. Some cookies could fit
in more than one category but each is included just once.
Conventions used in the recipes:
"Sugar" refers to granulated white sugar when listed in the
ingredients. In the directions "sugar" or "sugars" refers to the
type[s] of sugar in the ingredients list.
The term "bits" as in "chocolate bits" is used throughout as an
ingredient. Bits = morsels = chips.
Cookie dough should be placed on cookie sheets approximately
two inches apart unless otherwise noted.
Baking temperatures are given at the end of each recipe.
preheated oven is assumed.
A
M any of the recipes call for "chopped nuts" without specifying
type. Walnuts or pecans are safe bets but experiment to find out
which you prefer.
When given we've included recipe yields.
These cookbooks did not include illustrations and no illustrations
are included here. However, we invite you to submit photos of
cakes and cupcakes you bake from the cookbook. You can find us
on http://homecookingbooks.com where we'll be posting photos of
our own culinary efforts and lots more about home cooking.
Using a Kindle Cookbook
Tips and Techniques
Put your Kindle in a ziplock bag while using it in the kitchen - no
more worries about crumbs and spills.
Bring your Kindle to the grocery store and look up a recipe's
ingredients while shopping.
Need to use up some food in your cupboards? You can easily find
recipes that call for a particular ingredient by using the "Search
This Book" feature on the M enu screen.
Don't forget to use the Text key (Aa) to change the font if need be.
To see a lengthy recipe on one page reduce the font, or enlarge it to
get a better view while cooking.
Use the bookmark feature to mark recipes that you want to find
easily or toggle between. When you find a recipe you like, choose
"Add a Bookmark" from the M enu screen. To go to your
bookmarks, choose "View M y Notes & M arks" from the M enu
and use the 5-way controller to select a bookmarked recipe in the
cookbook.
Do you still prefer to have a printed copy of a recipe? That's
possible too with a Kindle cookbook. Highlight a recipe using the
5-way controller. To ensure that you get the entire recipe it may
be easiest to first reduce the font so that the recipe is complete on
one page. The recipe you highlighted can then be accessed in "M y
Clippings" on the Home screen. Connect your Kindle to your
computer with the USB cable and look for your Kindle in M y
Computer (for PC users). Open the Documents folder and then
the M y Clippings.txt file. From there you can cut and paste the
recipe into your word processing software and print. It sounds
complicated but it really isn't.
