First U.S. printed recipe for cookies 1796 Amelia Simmons
‘
About the Recipe: The puffy little cookies have both crunchy and soft textures. It’s perfect to serve with some fruit jam since it isn’t very sweet.
The dough is easy to roll and cut out the shapes. We sprinkled our cookies with a little sugar and even added a candied cherry half on the top of some of the cookies as a holiday decoration. The recipe is amazing!
