Pecan Spice Cookies from the Arm & Hammer or Cow Brand Baking Soda Cookbook, 1936.
This little cookbook fell out of another of my grandmother's cookbooks when I was looking for recipes. I wasn't going to use it until I saw her inscription.
I used a piping bag to put these on the parchment on the pan and then an offset spatula to spread them a little. They are probably about half the size they are supposed to be, and I DON'T CARE THEY ARE DELICIOUS MORSELS make them. They only need 6 minutes at this temperature! My test batch was thicker and burned at 10.
