"From my grandmother's collection, we also know this recipe by the name, "Caramel Refrigerator Cookies." They are simple but delightful little cookie to serve at any time, not just when enjoying a cup of hot tea."

These were light and not too sweet. I think I'll use real butter next time - maybe my oleo was old or something but I noticed a funny aftertaste- eveyone else thought they were perfect! made for PAC fall 2011

Having been born/bred in NJ and moving to WY, I've experienced a lot of change in my life! But cooking has always been a joy. I learned at my mother's knee, as she taught me when I started in high school and she started back to full-time work. By the time I graduated, I was doing most of the daily cooking at home and all my mother's friends were jealous!
I would love to have a decent kitchen, and a decent
'audience" to cook for, but I'm limited by size and a "significant other" who thinks the only thing that's decent to eat is steak and potatoes! Creativity is out the window!
