Ready to make some Pennsylvania Dutch Chocolate Cookies? Don’t miss these amazing cookies from Nourish and Nestle.
I have referenced my Grandma in several of my posts, here when I talked about her baking and hereĀ when I talked about our shared love of nice linens. Ā We never lacked for incredible baked goods when I was growing up. Ā In fact, I am really embarrassed to admit I was jealous of the kids at the school lunch table whose sandwiches were made with store-bought white bread, Ā while I had to haveĀ my sandwiches made with her homemade bread! Ā I guess I need to remind myself of this when I feel my children arenāt as grateful as they should be.
As much as we had baked goods year round, Grandma always bumped it up a notch during Christmas. Ā It gives me immense joy thatĀ even though she hasnāt been with us for 30+ years,Ā my children, who never had an opportunity to know her, refer to some of our recipes as āGrandma Stockerās Pumpkin Pieā or āGrandma Stockerās Pennsylvania Dutch Cookiesā.
I have binders of recipes that I collected in the pre-internet and pre-Pinterest days and this is one of the recipes included in this collection that begins with āGrandma Stockerāsā. Ā Even though I really have many of my recipes stored on-line, I get so much joy from opening these binders and seeing these recipes and letting them take me back to so many lovely memories. Ā One of my girlfriends has a notebook of family recipes that her mother gave to her on her wedding day. Ā The recipes are handwritten in her motherās hand. Ā What an incredible gift and one I am determined to compile for both of my children when they embark on their own.
OK, let me get back to this cookie and why you will want to bake some. Ā These Pennsylvania Dutch Chocolate Cookies are the magical combination of a chewy middle with a crunch exteriorā¦sheer cookie bliss in my book. Ā They are rich with chocolate, but have just a tad of cinnamon that adds a wonderful surprise to you taste buds. Ā Are you sold yet?
