One of the side effects of the pandemic is that I've been going through stuff that I have inherited over the years, but never really had the time to go through until now. I seem to have inherited a number of recipes booklets from the '40's to '70's. One of the old booklets I came across is from American Honey Institute, published in 1945. I assumed it was my mother-in-laws because I didn't recognize it at all until I saw my mother's handwriting on one of the pages. The funny part is, my sister and I have been looking for the recipe for a honey cake my mother used to make and this booklet has a few recipes for honey cake. It will take me a bit to try the different cake recipes to find the one that tastes like the one my mom made, but in the meantime I decided to try this cookie recipe.
Old Fashioned Small Batch Honey Chocolate Chip Cookies
This recipe is adapted from a recipe found in an old booklet I found, Old Favorite Honey Recipes, copyright, 1945. This is a great small batch recipe if you want just a little not too sweet treat. This cookie has a soft, cakey texture, my kids likened it to a madeleine.
