A Favorite Pullover Relaunch in the works...and A Recipe for Family Favorite Cookies

Daddy's Request

We were talking about these cookies on Periscope the other morning....and I promised to post the recipe. These are called Male Cookies. Do you know them? Lots of butter and brown sugar with just enough flour and nuts to hold them together. Melt in your mouth good.

Male Cookies

1 1/3 stocks butter
2 cups brown sugar
1 cup flour (measure before sifting)
1 teaspoon vanilla
Pinch salt
2 eggs, beaten together
1 cup chopped nuts

Cream butter and sugar; add eggs and flour, vanilla and nuts. Cook in biscuit pan in a slow oven (250˚) about 40 minutes. When cold, cut in small pieces and roll in powdered sugar. Yield: 2 ½ doz.

The name of the recipe apparently reflects the primary appreciators of these scrumptious lovelies. I will say in my family both male and female can eat them with reckless abandon. 

BTW...we talk mostly about knitting during my Periscope broadcasts...but not entirely. 

Download the Periscope app on your smart phone and follow me. I'm vbknits. Then you can join us live. Or you can watch the replays here.

FYI...the picture above is the Daddy's Request pullover which is in the final stages of a relaunch, So standby for the announcement of a discount coupon coming soon to this blog.

If you want even bigger discounts, signup for the newsletter where the distribution is infrequent, but the discounts are great!
