- 2 sticks of butter (room temperature) - 1 cup of sugar - 2 cups of flour (add more if needed) - 1 to 2 tablespoons of vanilla extract - 1 to 2 teaspoons of butter extract - 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of salt In a bowl, mix butter and sugar until creamy. Add your extracts and salt, mix well. Now, add your flour a little at a time and mix well. Refrigerate for an hour or two, then scoop your cookies onto a cookie sheet. This should make 16 to 24 cookies. Bake in the oven at 350°F for 10 to 15 minutes or until the cookie is golden brown on top. I like mine crunchy, but enjoy these Lunch Lady Butter Cookies for the win.
They are the standard! I can't stand those Dutch cookies in the can! They taste like uncooked flour, sugar and butter! Who is eating those cookies. Give me the lunch room butter cookies any day!
Imitation butter and nut flavoring in your vanilla cakes takes it to a whole nother level sometimes I'll put that shit in pancakes and waffles I mean Kroger has it from wicked cheep
I have been baking these cookies so long I can make them in my sleep...and I use the first the fingers to press them down with gloves on, that is how we do it in Chicago 😊
Hey, from Chi-town myself, living in Cali now. I fr don't remember butter cookies. Like at all. BUT, soon as he was done and I saw them, this taste came to my mouth. Like my tongue knew what's up before my brain even did 😂😂😂
@@Sumiya-lp8mm have you talked to them after seeing my comment? Alot of parents don't understand at the time but its very common. It's so much easier to get work done to graduate. I hope that is your kids case.
Mrs Betty from Alfred D Kohn School in the 70s!!!!!!!! That woman had the Midas touch to make butter and to die for peanut butter cookies. TO THIS DAY, can’t get a cookie to come close!!!! Lord were they delicious!!!!! Mrs. Betty I miss you/you made Kohn school worth coming in my book.
I made these vegan for my baby with dairy allergies. Major win and super on point! I’d probably use a little less sugar next time but they were most definitely on point! I added a little lemon extract and took them where I needed them to be. Thanks family!
I LOVE these!!! They called them Walk to School cookies when I was in school. After I started teaching, I asked the lunch ladies if they still served them because I loved them so much. They would call me on the days they made them! 😂❤ I also remember Thanksgiving lunch in elementary school in the 80s. It was so delicious and always served on Thursday before Thanksgiving break…homemade dressing, turkey slices, cranberry sauce, and all of the sides. Everyone loved it so much that after the lunch lady who cooked it retired, she would come and make the Thanksgiving lunch for years after! Such good memories!
As a wife of a baker and bakery owner and also member of a family of foodies, a great tip for baking thag makes a big difference: weigh all your ingredients on a food scale rather than using measuring cups! It’s faster and really gives the best results! I’m only saying this cus I had to hear my husband tell me to do it multiple times until I got out the scale and started actually doing it. It really is easier. Proffesional bakers do this for a reason 😊
I remember back in the days I used to go and help the lunch lady and she would always give me them cookies and they were so delicious finger licking good. Big ups for all the lunch staff 👏🏾
I luv me some butter cookies it started in Chicago.The lunch room was right by my classroom so ever morning as I was going to class as a lil girl I wouldn’t even go to class until I got 1 🔥🔥🔥🔥
What you talking about, those Peanut Butter Cookies were so absolutely full of favor and it just made you feel like you peeped thru a crack in Paradise. No other way to describe it. The cookies by themselves was enough to keep us at those schools.
I remember when they started to give breakfast in classroom and we got those paper pads for our desks. I always found joy in the rare chocolate mini wheats.
Love your "cowboy " gingerbread! My husband is long time cowboy fan. He had the privilege of watching them in the cotton bowl. This was before their stadium in irving.
I am a lunch lady but now they call us lunch aides. We don’t do any more cooking everything comes in from a company we just prep it. I remember growing up the lunch ladies cooked and baked. Such different times now.
I made these last night, but with butter flavored shortening because we were out of butter. They were great, also I rolled them in sugar for another light layer of sweetness.
In my 86 year old Better Homes and Gardens cookbook…….. those are esters spritz cookies. Sometimes I will press a cherry pie filling cherry in the middle !
2 cups in a dry or liquid measuribg container is still 2 cups. They made the glass measuring cup with a spout so you can pour it out easier. Most liquid measuring glasses also leave a small space from the last measurement and the top so it won't easily spill like the "dry" measuring cup would. Also, you can swipe across the top of a dry measuring cup to even out the top. Something you don't have to do with a wet measuring cup
lol a cup is a cup doesn’t matter what you measure it in lol but I know there are some that will argue that you have to use dry measuring cups for dry and wet for liquids. Well get both out and measure 1 cup milk with the dry measuring cup and pour it into the liquid measuring cup and it’s the same and vice versa lol
my mom made these for us all the time & covered them in pink frosting that was so tasty, that one time she made for a picnic for the school & had to bring more because we kids ate most of them before they got off the school bus.
Those baked cookies that the lunch ladies made were Otis Spunkmeyer cookies. They used to come like the Toll House break apart cookies. Like 250 in a box.I used to be a lunch lady and had to make them every day.
I got lunch detention almost every week. Sometimes up to 3/5 days weekly. I was NEVER deprived of lunch or given a "sack lunch". I've never even heard of it until now. I'm sorry for your loss. P.S. go to the bakery section of your local supermarket (price chopper, shop rite, Hannaford, etc.) and ask for a cookie. They'll literally give you one of these for free. I'm sorry I got these as a treat for being good, and you remember them from punishments.
@@mordeys Would have to find someone who worked in school cafeterias before "the big change" to what they have deemed healthier carbs. They still smell good cooking, but definitely not the same as in the 90s and early 2000s.
@@nannernose3133 ya i know... even when i was an elementary aid in the early 00's they were 'different '.. ya what i mean. Shorter not as flaky (thats not the right word but because flaky is horizontal these were soft flakes but vertical) and just sort of melted on your tongue. No real need to even chew them...oh now my mouths memory is drooling...
my favorite cookie. my mom made them at Christmas. I would beg her for one from the oven. glad I'm not the only person who uses butter extract. been using it for years it really elevates the flavor.

I didn't hear you say butter extract. Never heard of that. Self rising flour I assume?
Where can I find butter extract?
I don't recall seeing it with other spices.😊
Did you mean 2 teaspoons of vanilla? 2 tablespoons is a massive amount
Love it!
Ok y'all, Butter extract is at Walmart & Amazon! But I hope you're making your own home brewed vanilla to use 2 Tbls. Of Vanilla extract? WoW!
I... am... telling... you...! There is no cookie in the world better than them lunchroom cookies!!!
Nothing!
👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽
Absolutely!!
Facts!
They are the standard! I can't stand those Dutch cookies in the can! They taste like uncooked flour, sugar and butter! Who is eating those cookies. Give me the lunch room butter cookies any day!
Right!
Lunch lady for 30 years, couple of our "bad boys" are educators today. Proud of my kids, all of them❤
awe, was a lunch lady for a minute...best job ever..🧃
TYFS, I didn't know there was a " butter " extract 😮
shows and tells I'm not a Baker, but LOVE pastries
Gotta try this! Simple easy recipe 😋 ❤❤❤

@@kaydaw24TY!!!😂
Same here😊
My granny was a lunchroom lady and I remember these cookies. Amazing.
You were blessed, unlimited lunches and the lunch itinerary for the month!
I have been baking these cookies so long I can make them in my sleep...and I use the first the fingers to press them down with gloves on, that is how we do it in Chicago 😊
Hold it down in Chicago. Don't let them take your city. Call down the Almighty over that City.
Hey, from Chi-town myself, living in Cali now. I fr don't remember butter cookies. Like at all. BUT, soon as he was done and I saw them, this taste came to my mouth. Like my tongue knew what's up before my brain even did 😂😂😂
When we ran the lunchroom.....The Food was Slamming... No tasteless cookies and watered down milk.
When you made these, do they tend to be chewy or crunchy?
@shioriryukaze crunchy and yet they melt in your mouth, you can never eat just one.
I loved ISS . Only place I could concentrate and get work done.
😂
Good point
I truly believe this is why my sons were in there every week for doing basically nothing, they hated regular classrooms... Got class and homework done
I did In School Suspension for 7 years.😊

Them cookies u ta be BUSSIN …. You a real one for remaking this frfr ❤❤❤
Man, Chicago Public School butter cookies were bomb! I still make them today.

Lunch ladies are made of unrelenting love

I make these cookies every Christmas…..smaller and sprinkled with powder sugar……my family can’t wait for them !!

ISS, looking back makes me miss those silent 7 hours.
At least Alternative School and Juvie served the same lunch.
That butter extract is really good but I don't recall ever getting a butter cookie in an in-school suspension
Looks yummy.
Some of those lunch ladies knew how deep ish was. The nurses too.
