Betty Crocker's Cooky Book, 1st Edition, 2nd Printing, 1963

Betty Crocker's Cooky Book, 1st Edition, 2nd Printing, 1963.

This is THE classic cooky cookbook by the queen of recipes, Betty Crocker, who writes in the introduction that "there is no aroma quite so enticing as that of cookies baking, whether ginger or chocolate or caramel."  How true!

With cooky primer recipes ranging from rolled and pressed cookies to drop, bar, and molded cookies, this cookbook has them all.  Brownies?  Yes!  Teatime Cookies?  Yes!  Holiday cookies for Christmas, Easter, Valentine's Day and Halloween?  Yes!

These 156 pages are filled with mid-century graphics and color photographs, detailed recipes for hundreds of cookies, and a special section devoted to Betty Crocker's "Best Cookies" throughout the years.  There is some wear to the cover of this well-loved treasure as well as some discoloration inside the front where it looks like a favorite recipe card was tucked for many years.  The good news about these minor issues is that they are proof that this cookbook was used to make many delicious cookies in its previous life.

Keep the tradition going and fill your cookie jar with yummy treats that are guaranteed to please!
