Real holiday treats from real family kitchens.

In 1901, the women of a Michigan church signed their names to their favorite cookie, doughnut and candy recipes and bound them into a cookbook. This book brings their recipes back, along with treats from a 1912 Illinois women’s club and a 1920s Chicago cooking teacher.

Every recipe is printed two ways, the original as it was written and a version for today’s kitchen with measured ingredients, oven temperatures and baking times.

What you’ll make:

• Sugar cookies, ginger snaps, hermits and 1920s brownies
• Cake doughnuts, potato doughnuts and molasses crullers
• Chocolate fudge, divinity, after-dinner mints, caramels and peanut brittle
• Popcorn balls, pulled taffy and simple treats for children

Also inside: a guide to old measures and oven terms, a candy-stage chart, a kitchen safety chapter, and tips for packing cookies and candy as gifts.

98 pages, illustrated, with more than 65 recipes.
