I so greatly appreciate your strict adherence to instructions and processes, such as wetting the fork for every single cookie as you press them down onto the baking sheet, and carefully measuring the extracts and vinegar. I think that's why most of us continue to come back and watch your videos.
@@aoielf I think it depends on how competent or experienced you are at baking or cooking. I definitely would follow the recipe the first time but if you have years of experience you start to understand how ingredients interact with each other and can eyeball it.

One of my Sunday morning traditions in recent years is to join Glen & Ms. Julie along with my 76 year old mother, Linda, while we are having our morning coffee. We adore The Old Cookbook Show and Glen's video is always in prominent position on our UA-cam homepage when we open the app on our television. This morning, my mother was extra excited to watch, as she fondly remembers making this (or similar) vinegar cookie recipe several years back. She states she received the recipe from a friend at our local "Golden Agers" Senior Citizen Center. She remembers the cookie being a perfect match for her tastes. She delights in a light, buttery and crispy cookie that goes well with coffee (or a glass of iced tea) and this cookie meets all of her criteria! Thanks so much for sharing Glen & Ms Julie - and thanks for helping my mother and I create a cherished tradition! ❤️
Go for the second cooky, Julie! Glen measures like my granma. I have a bread recipe she wrote that lists ingredients, then states "you should know how to bake bread". I hear her voice every time I see it😁
my grandma would take a pinch and taste the raw dough to gauge what was needed.. nothing was ever measured until I made her put everything in a pie tin and I measured it so I could make her sweet bread.. it only kind of worked.. lol.. she could fine tune on the fly and I can't 😂
I gave my sister the recipe for our Mother's chocolate chip cookies, but only the ingredients because "you should know how to bake cookies". Well, I didn't say that, but assumed she did. Later she told me she made them & they tasted like Mom's but the texture was weird. Turns out, she dumped ALL the ingredients in the mixer at once. No creaming sugar & butter, then adding eggs & vanilla and then the flour. Apparently, instructions ARE required, even for an old family recipe.
Duo-Tang (term used a lot in Canada). It was a trademark name for this type of cardstock folder that used metal fasteners to hold loose leaf paper (I think it was a new product created in 1930s). Duo = Latin foot for '2' + Tang = Norse word for metal attached to handle. Always love your old cookbook recipes, but even more, love the sidebar history lessons and stories (cooky vs. cookie).
It could be a false memory but I feel like we called them that when I was growing up in Detroit in the 70s. Maybe we got them from Windsor Ontario across the river from Detroit.
My mother used to have a vinegar cookie recipe that she collected from one of her great aunts. But she used apple cider vinegar or elderberry vinegar. My understanding is that it was for the lift and to make the cookie more tender and "brighten" the flavor without lemon juice. The cookie should have that "sandy" or a shortbread-like texture. So this recipe intrigues me, I'll just have to try. She also had an applesauce cookie with a bit of apple cider vinegar.
Thank you Glenn!! I remember when cooky was spelled with a Y. I guess I'm old, 65. Maybe it was because my grandmother had older cookbooks. When I talk about cooky being spelled this way, people look at me like I have 3 heads. Woo hoo, I'm not crazy.
It’s also spelled “cooky” with a Y in the “I Hate to Cook Book,” published 1962, which my mother got as a bride and passed along to me. BTW, that cookbook comes from a VERY different era, when women had to cook up 3 squares a day plus desserts, birthday cakes, Thanksgiving dinners, and everything else from scratch, regardless of whether they worked or not. Pre-prepared options, whether frozen, deli, etc., were a tiny fraction of what we have nowadays, and restaurants were a lot more expensive relative to average family income. (Don’t get me started on the very limited selection of fresh produce.) A lot of women were grimly churning out mediocre food because they had no options.
Glen & Friends please video when you tear down your Kitchen Aid Mixer. It would be valuable information! Interesting cookie too! That amount of vinegar may contribute to the crispy texture. 😊
I made these cookies the other night and my husband has a very sweet tooth and I wasn't sure he was going to like them. He couldn't not stop eating them!!! He even told me how good they were. So this recipe is now in my recipe book. They were so easy to make and the ingredients are things you should always have. I don't like Almond extract so used orange zest and a bit of orange juice which made me happy. BIG WIN! in my household. Thank you for the recipe!
My mixer used to do the same periodically. Last time, I took the screws out and applied Loctite orange and it has kept it together without loosening up again.
Glen has a tear down video about 4 years back. I use it with my mixers and put it in my watch later list so I am reminded to to this necessary maintenance.
The cookie recipes Mother used when I was a kid made at least 4 dozen at a time, and most of the time Mom doubled the recipe. Not only was she feeding hungry kids, but those cookies were for Dad's lunch box that week. On Saturday mornings, we baked pies, cookies, and cakes for the upcoming week.
Hey Glenn, thank you for making your videos. I look forward to them and really enjoy how you explore the world of cooking! I'm grateful for you and your ability to teach.
I was told early on to always follow the receipt for the first time when making something new this is an excellent example of why you would want to do that. Cooking is chemistry and occasionally something that seems a bit ridiculous tapps into some unexpected chemistry that makes it special 😊
I just wanted to say that your channel has been a staple for my husband and I, every morning weekend. I just tried this recipe, and it was amazing. I even added a dollop of marmalade to the following batch, and that tasted even better! Thank you for all your videos❤
I have once again pulled out my White Loaf Flour Duo Tang, and no vinegar cookies. I keep thinking about the Willis Norton Company at the tail end of the depression, if they did in fact use different recipes for the different flours they milled, and created a different set of mailings to go into the different Duo Tang offered, wow, that is a lot of work. You had the recipe contest, a kitchen to test the different recipes submitted, a first, second, and third place winner of the contest, all while typing it all on a typewriter to mail out to subscribers. I will say it once again, the Willis Norton Company subscription Duo Tang is a piece of history, and I am very lucky to have one.
Carefully measured 😊I love your videos. Thanks for all the great information and interesting recipes. My confidence in the kitchen has grown so much since I have been watching and trying some of them. When things get weird in the kitchen I hear your voice “it’s going to be OK” 😊
Can’t wait to try them. I love vinegar. My husband just fixed my Kitchen Aid and we discovered it was 34 years old. He followed your other video on repair. My head was so loose and shaking more than yours. Thanks.
I got a chuckle over Julie's 80 cookies comment. When my sister and I were growing up in the 60's, our Saturday chore was to bake oatmeal raisin cookies. Mom had doubled the recipe so it made 9 or 10 dozen cookies depending on size and amount of dough sampled. Not an easy job as we had no electricity and no mixer. We used a pastry blender to mix the fat into the dry ingredients and then added eggs and vanilla and finally the oatmeal and raisins with a wooden spoon. The first pan out of the oven barely got slightly cooled before it was gone. Family of 10.
@agmin2098 there is so much more to our cookie story. My next older brother would ask if he could have a cookie and then take at least three. Years later I found a fridge magnet that said, my idea of a balanced diet is a cookie in each hand. It hung on his fridge for years. And when he died we put it as some of his words to live by.😊
Just finished off my peach muffins, and I wanted to do cookies next. I’m going to try these! Thanks, Glen! The Nutella cookies and shortbread with toffee are up again too. Looks like I’m going to be busy this week.
Made these yesterday. Very easy to make and tasty. There are now 40 frozen cookies ready to bake in my freezer. I wonder how long they'll last. Next time I may make depressions in the top of each cookie and add a 1/2 tsp or so of cherry jam before baking. Thanks for the recipe.
The smell of vinegar triggers memories of my grandmother, who was a mother during the Great Depression. She used vinegar in several baked goods, especially chocolate ones.
Vinegar and baking soda is how you traditionally make a red velvet cake... which incidentally is my grandma's favorite cake, so I remember the smell of vinegar fondly.
Made these today. The recipe strikes me as a riff on peanut butter cookies. Really enjoyed this recipe and think you could play with different flavors. Keep up the good work.😊❤
I was so excited when I saw this thumbnail. I had a sneaking suspicion that this would be like my grandma's recipe for Scotchman Delight Cookies, and sure enough, they're identical! By the way, she would heartily approve of your "measure with your heart" method for adding the extracts.
Update! My husband really liked these buttery cookies, but he decided they needed a bump of flavor. He made sandwiches using Nutella and then leftover frosting. This is now our family's new sandwich cookie. Thank you for the recipe!
👍 Old recipes are interesting. I like that they tend to use more simple cost effective ingredients, for the most part. Sometimes they use things that are much more expensive now, but were very frugally priced back then.
It's funny you mentioned the potatoe spelling. In elementary in Missouri we were taught either spelling was correct. However by high school it was no longer allowed since it wasn't spelled that way in the dictionary. Mind you I'm only in my 30's so it really wasn't all that long ago that both were still used.

Their son died at age 22 in 1948. His stone shows what unit he was with and he was an aerial gunner. I don't know what fighting there was in 1948, maybe an aircraft accident.
I remember as a kid 60 years ago, I made sugar cookies for my grandma, and I used the bottom of a water glass dipped in sugar. She acted like they were the best cookies ever. She winked and krinkled her nose when she said so. She never looked any older than that, even had the same hair do, till she was 93 and passed.
I have a "Poor Boy" Cake recipe from the depression that uses vinegar. It has baking powder and the vinegar replaces the egg. In the case of the cookie it's a booster replacing Powder It's also rising additive and binder. Not surprised you seemed surprise. that it's Good.
Ugh. Had to wait through an ad lasting 4 min. 42 sec. before I could watch Glen. Oh, and then another of 27 sec. Worth it though -- love to watch Glen and Jules and those cookies sound delicious! "2024-size cookies" 😏😏
Butter is a ‘shortening’. Butter, lard, and tallow were all referred to as shortening, long before the introduction of ‘vegetable shortening’ in the late 1800s. Shortening is any fat that is solid at room temperature, and that ‘shortens’ or inhibits the formation of gluten chains. Sadly in the late 1800s when vegetable shortening was introduced, the marketing teams needed to differentiate this new product from the tried and true and made up all sorts of claims… the difference in water content (very negligible) being one that stuck. most cookbooks from this time period treat all shortening’s as interchangeable with no difference in amounts needed.

Glen, please do a video of your tear down and maintenance of the mixer!
I am hoping for this too.
I think he's done one before.
There is a video of him doing that.
He showed how to tear down the mixer on an earlier video a few years ago:
ua-cam.com/video/lQoC6UvQTPI/v-deo.html&ab_channel=GlenAndFriendsCooking
ua-cam.com/video/lQoC6UvQTPI/v-deo.html
Love the body language when the tasting happens.
Julie's self-control is inspiring.
She had 4 on the way back to the house.
And that is why Julie has a nice slim silhouette!
Go for the second cooky, Julie! Glen measures like my granma. I have a bread recipe she wrote that lists ingredients, then states "you should know how to bake bread". I hear her voice every time I see it😁
my grandma would take a pinch and taste the raw dough to gauge what was needed.. nothing was ever measured until I made her put everything in a pie tin and I measured it so I could make her sweet bread.. it only kind of worked.. lol.. she could fine tune on the fly and I can't 😂
Lol, I measure liquid like he did, too!

@@regrich4720I had them in TX. I was high school class of 87.
Thanks for the info on duo tang folders. Never knew why they were called. Used those so much starting in junior high in 1965.
Love yhe floating O on someone's typewriter that really needed to be realigned.
I enjoyed Glen getting sassy about the fork water.
I loved Julie's reaction when she heard 80 cookies LOL. Another great Old Cookbook Show.

My wife's family is from Germany and they have a version of vinegar cookie, (Oma Fanny's cookies) no brown sugar or extracts. It is my holidays fav.
Pass along the recipe - don't forget your general description.
Glen & Friends please video when you tear down your Kitchen Aid Mixer. It would be valuable information!
Interesting cookie too! That amount of vinegar may contribute to the crispy texture. 😊

How curious. I've never heard of a recipe quite like this. Though, that's the charm of this old cookbook series~ ♥
My mixer used to do the same periodically. Last time, I took the screws out and applied Loctite orange and it has kept it together without loosening up again.
My first thought as you were describing the texture was a pecan sandy cookie.
Me too
It reminds me of the cartoon Courage the Cowardly Dog, where Muriel would put vinegar in all her recipes and it actually turned out well.
Glad someone else thought about Muriel and how she added vinegar into all of her recipes lol.
Maybe she's Hungarian 😁
I hope you bring us along when you break down the mixer.
Such a classy channel, always informative and entertaining 😊
The tasting is my favorite part of the video and I always watch to the very end hoping for the "extras". Can't wait to try this recipe!
My mixer has been doing the same thing! I’d love to know to fix it! Love the videos. Been watching for years. Highlight of my weeks
Same. My mixer has done this since day one.

😊
I made these for a beer and cooky tasting at my brewery. I used our house made malt vinegar. They were a huge hit, thanks Glen for all you do!
Had my doubts, but the reaction Glrn had after taking a bite, I'm now thinking this is definitely worth a try.
You could tell Glen had his doubts also but when the happy dance started after the first bite you knew it was a winner.
my husband and I loved them. I am happy I made it in my big Kitchen Aid mixer though!!
Really want a Kitchenaid mixer teardown video!
He has done one:

This is amazing! ⭐Thanks for inspiring me to get back in the kitchen.
Never seen a kitchen Aide mixer struggle that much. Hopefully the tear down brings it back to life. Those things are fantastic.
my late father & grandfather ran a stationery store.. Duo-Tang is a brand and system they carried.. appreciate the crossover

Really enjoyed this recipe and think you could play with different flavors.
Keep up the good work.😊❤
I used orange zest and a little orange juice instead of almond and they were yummy!
I have been looking for a different cookie recipe. Thanks Glenn!
Intrigued by the whole concept and Glen's pleasantly surprised reaction!
I was so excited when I saw this thumbnail. I had a sneaking suspicion that this would be like my grandma's recipe for Scotchman Delight Cookies, and sure enough, they're identical! By the way, she would heartily approve of your "measure with your heart" method for adding the extracts.
I love seeing the old typing in the days before white-out. So easy to miss a space or type the wrong letter as happened in this recipe.
I love the old mimeographed pages with all the mistakes just typed over with the correct letter.
Going to try these!
Update! My husband really liked these buttery cookies, but he decided they needed a bump of flavor. He made sandwiches using Nutella and then leftover frosting. This is now our family's new sandwich cookie. Thank you for the recipe!

Wow. Princeton, Missouri, isn't all that far away from where I am in southern Iowa.
We loved the vinegar cookies my mom made and I make them myself.
Looks yummy 😊
I would use apple cider vinegar. It will support the brown sugar, vanilla and almond.
Big fan, would very much like to see the break down of the mixer. Mine is doing the same thing.
He does have older videos of breaking down the machine. Not sure if it's going to be the same issue, but there are videos
Thank you for the recipe. Is there Anise cookies recipe in the old books you have? If yes, would you kindly try to do it.
It's funny you mentioned the potatoe spelling. In elementary in Missouri we were taught either spelling was correct. However by high school it was no longer allowed since it wasn't spelled that way in the dictionary. Mind you I'm only in my 30's so it really wasn't all that long ago that both were still used.
Great video. ❤❤
I use a very old peanut butter cookie recipe that includes vinegar that has a similar texture that you describe in this cookie.
I found the headstones of an Oscar S. Keely and Lillian Keely in Oklahoma City. Lillian was born in 1895 and died in 1988. No mention of Princeton, Missouri.
Their son died at age 22 in 1948. His stone shows what unit he was with and he was an aerial gunner. I don't know what fighting there was in 1948, maybe an aircraft accident.
He survived the war, was going to college and was a trainee police officer. He died of pneumonia.
I was taught to use a little bowl of sugar to dip the fork into for peanut butter cookies.
I remember as a kid 60 years ago, I made sugar cookies for my grandma, and I used the bottom of a water glass dipped in sugar.
She acted like they were the best cookies ever. She winked and krinkled her nose when she said so. She never looked any older than that, even had the same hair do, till she was 93 and passed.
Loving the preemptive measuring dialogue, Glen. Head them off at the pass.
Omg Glen I wish you could show us how to tear down the mixer. Mine is squealing
I have to try these!
It's already on the channel. ua-cam.com/video/lQoC6UvQTPI/v-deo.html
Don’t know if my mom ever made these but I remember the name of them and almost recoil at the thought (and I like vinegar). I will make these.
Measure with your heart -my granny
What if you swapped the white vinegar for apple cider vinegar and up the amount just a tad?
I have a "Poor Boy" Cake recipe from the depression that uses vinegar. It has baking powder and the vinegar replaces the egg. In the case of the cookie it's a booster replacing Powder It's also rising additive and binder. Not surprised you seemed surprise. that it's Good.
Oh, Great Depression cookies. What I was really looking for was some great depression cookies. But maybe these will do the trick.
I hear you (assuming you're in the US).
It kinda reminds me of whacky cake. My gmother used to make it all the time.
to cook them after frosen, would you put them directly to the oven or defrost them first??
I made cooky dough with red wine. The cooky tasted good. I wonder if it’s the same principal.
Glen 🙏🙏🙏🙏 video your take down, adjustments on the kitchenaid, even if you just link it too your next baking video….would be so helpful❤️🇨🇦❤️
Wondering how balsamic vinegar would be in this recipe. I like it in most things.
Will have to try a batch!
Yum! I wonder if you used apple cider vinegar instead?
Reminds me of how cream of tartar is used in snickerdoodles, and I guess (in the right proportion) that would work in this recipe also.
I have my mother's "cooky" press from the 1960s, so apparently it was still in use that late.
Ugh. Had to wait through an ad lasting 4 min. 42 sec. before I could watch Glen. Oh, and then another of 27 sec. Worth it though -- love to watch Glen and Jules and those cookies sound delicious! "2024-size cookies" 😏😏
Like buttermilk cookies! :)
My grandma put vinegar in her pie crust and claimed it made the dough more tender. Her pie crust was always flaky and tender.
That's how I do it. Learned it from my mom who learned it from hers.
Could these go into a Spritz cookie press?
I remember someone in my family making these in the 1960s when I was a kid. I don't remember what they tasted like. I do remember the name.
"Potatoe" reminds me of the Dan Quayle school incident 😅
I have a recipe for Vinegar pie that was my grandmothers from the 30’s.
Can you do a Tare-down video of your mixer?
What makes the mixer loose like that? Mine does the same.
Another mixer teardown and repair video please!
You substituted butter for shortening- did you use same amount on substitution?
Butter is a ‘shortening’.
Butter, lard, and tallow were all referred to as shortening, long before the introduction of ‘vegetable shortening’ in the late 1800s.
Shortening is any fat that is solid at room temperature, and that ‘shortens’ or inhibits the formation of gluten chains.
Sadly in the late 1800s when vegetable shortening was introduced, the marketing teams needed to differentiate this new product from the tried and true and made up all sorts of claims… the difference in water content (very negligible) being one that stuck.
most cookbooks from this time period treat all shortening’s as interchangeable with no difference in amounts needed.
Do you think it would work with raspberry or lemon extract?
Usung lemon with the vinegar might enhance the'lemonymess'
absolutely
I'm 60, and I remember cooky and cookies, but not specifically where and when.
Water for the fork? I've always used melted butter for squishing cookies with a fork.
When you do fix your stand mixer, will you video that? 67 year old Granny here who would like to know how to do that!
