Ingredients
9 cup unbleached flour
4 tsp baking soda
2 tsp salt
3 cup firm packed dark brown
1 sugar
3 cup granulated sugar
4 cup buter flavor veg.
1 shortening
4 cup chopped pecans
4 12-oz bags semi-sweet real
1 chocolate chips
1 * be sure to use fresh
1 nuts*
Directions
Combine flour, baking soda, salt and both sugars in very large bowl.
Mix in the shortening with your fingers. Stir in the chips and nuts.
Store whole mix in airtight container in a cool dry place for up to
six months. For longer storage refrigerate or freeze. **I package the
mix in individual zip-lock bags. TO MAKE THE COOKIES: Stir the mix to
distribute the nuts and chips and then, measure seven level cups of
the mix into a large bowl. (* spoon in and level, do not pack) Stir
to distribute the nuts and chips. Add two large eggs that have been
lightly beaten and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract. Blend well. This
creates a heavy batter, but don't worry it will work. Drop the batter
by tablespoonfuls on buttered baking sheets. Bake in preheated 375
oven for 10 - 12 minutes. Cool slightly on sheets and then transfer
to an airtight container. One batch makes about 2 dozen cookies.

The History of Recipes
Written cooking instructions as an idea can be found back into the far past, at least as far back into history as the ancient Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, these, ancient cookbooks were just primitive pictorial recipes for preparing food.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe found, according to food historians is a collection of ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making those who drank it feel blissful and exhilarated. As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of documents describing recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, he describes how the roman meals were separated into starters, main course and dessert, a very modern way of dining. He also describes how the cooks of Roman times made use of many herbs, including some that we all recognise for example basil, fennel and dill. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many spices and herbs from the East, including spices like coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas was responsible for an increase in recipe publications, the majority of which still exist in private libraries. Over the next few hundred years, the rich families of Wesstern Europe competed with each other to offer the most exotic banquets, and as a result the best chefs and their collection of recipes could command a high salary. However, it was during the nineteenth century that haute cuisine and cookery books really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to collating, verifying, and writing down recipes of the day. When we get to the 1900s, cooking publications are in great demand, mostly due to increased literacy, people having increased leisure time and having more money to spend. The arrival of TV brings us TV cookery programs and the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like the ones you can find on this web site. |
