I enjoy reading those old recipes from 1923 to present day. I should be in the kitchen making the cookies! I found one that used bacon fat for the shortening which is what my Grandmother always used and it added the best flavor to the cookies. I'll never forget it. A real pleasant flashback. Thank you again!
Just like how a lot of bakeries have flavors of sweets with bits of bacon for that lovely sweet and salty combo.
