Cookies at Grandma's House

If you have memories of visiting Grandma's house you probably have memories of those special homemade cookies she kept just for you.

My Grandmother always had a "melt in your mouth" shortbread cookie in her round cookie tin kept on the counter in her old fashioned kitchen where she had her cozy woodburning cookstove.

My children's Granny (my Mom) always kept her large cookie jar full of Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies for her grandchildren.

For my Grandchildren, I baked two favourites. #1 was Peanutbutter Cookies and #2 was my Mom's recipe Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies.

This time of the year I always dig out my old recipes and scour cookbooks looking for something new. I guess it is because summer is over and I'm tired of salads, cold plates and barbecues. The days are cooler and I am on the hunt for something really yummy.

Some of my old favorites are meatballs and spaghetti - http://www.squidoo.com/makemeatballs

One of the recipes that always take me on a journey down memory lane are for Rusks or Skorpa (Swedish Toast)
Skorpa is a traditional Scandinavian coffee (kaffe) time treat.

My Grandmother Peterson's kitchen was well known for it's sweet aroma of skorpa' and fresh brewed coffee. I have her original recipe here: http://www.squidoo.com/grandmasrecipes

Today I found a new recipe that I would love to try! It is called

Overnight Corn Flake Breakfast Pie

But right now I am going to look for my old fashioned Peanut Butter cookie recipe.
