I’ve pretty much always assumed the story is fabricated, but these are damn good cookies.

Now I want all the recipes mentioned in this article. The Fudge Cake especially sounds delicious, I wonder if I could track it down…

Yeah, I’ve always assumed it was nonsense, but it’s kind of a fun myth (and mostly harmless), so when I found this image on my HDD, thought I’d post it…

Absolutely agree. By no means should it not be spread. Harmless, and seriously the cookies are super good.

You assumed it is fabricated. But after reading this post, are you beginning to realize it is true?

Quite the contrary, actually.

This reminds me of the old chain letters that said you have to snail mail it to 10 people or someone would die, or you would lose your job, house, etc.

Oatmeal blended into a powder sounds interesting. I’ve added some oatmeal to chocolate chip cookies before for some flavor and chew. Not sure about putting it in the blender. Also 112 cookies? I thought those were large quantities but damn.

My grandfather’s been making these annually for christmas since the 60s. They usually put the extras on sheet pans and freeze them until they’re ready to bake them.

This came through the HP email … It is being typed word for word

Even in 1994 on Windows 3.11, this was ridiculous.

A community for sharing favorite vintage and nostalgic recipes from years past. The goal of this community is to preserve our favorite dishes and share them with the world so that they don’t go extinct just because they’re not in the culinary zeitgeist.

Please tag your recipe titles with [RECIPE]. Be sure to include the dish name and it’s creator (person or business) in the title for easier searching. Please include the date the recipe was published, if possible.

Sharing a video? Tag it with [VIDEO].

All requests should be tagged with [REQUEST]. Before you post, make sure someone hasn’t already requested the same recipe!

No recipe blog spam! You can link to a personal blog in the comments, but please include the recipe itself in your post. Any post URLs should point to the actual recipe (website, image host, etc.) and not just serve as an advertisement to drive up clicks for your site.

We here in Vintage Recipes believe that information should be freely available. We learn by observing and analyzing what has come before. We do not believe in secrets, and we do not believe that old methods should be forgotten.
