Scrappy Jessi's Cookie Swap

Scrappy Jessi is having her 2ND Annual Cookie Swap

The recipe I'm sharing is one I have made every Christmas for years. This candy is an all time favourite of my children and my sister-in-law, who always receives a batch every year. Click on the picture to get a larger view.

The recipe is from the Better Homes and Garden's recipe book Cookies and Candies. 1966.

Thank you Jessie for hosting this exchange and please pop over to her blog for more yummy recipes.

I remember making these with mom as a kid, so yep, the mid 60s is when we would have done it. That stands out in my mind because of the pudding mix, I thought that was so cool, to use pudding in cookies.

Have a wonderful holiday!

I think the old recipe books have the best desserts in them. These sound really good!

Karen,

I got your package in the mail a bit late and I want to apologize. We got iced in this weekend and I was unable to get out until today. I got it in the mail this afternoon. Let me know when it arrives. Merry Christmas!
