The 1st American Cookie Lady is based on the 76-page, handwritten cookie diary of Anna "Cookie" Covington, who recorded 208 different cookie recipes between 1917 and 1920. Intended as a gift for one of her children, it's a mystery why her cookie diary was never used and eventually fell into the hands of one very grateful Barbara Swell. Barbara presents Anna's recipes exactly as they appear in the original diary and also adds helpful tips and hints on baking, updates for many of the recipes, fun cookie poems, baking superstitions, and over 150 photos and illustrations.

Summary: Fantastic
Comment: Utilizing recipes from a diary that Anna Covington (from 1917 - 1920) created to share with her children, Barbara Swell has authored another book adding pieces of history, art and updating some of the recipes, The 1st American Cookie Lady: Recipes From a 1917 Cookie Diary!
Another book filled with black and white photos of people of its time, advertisements selling hair products, lore and tips. I have to say, when I read Swell's books, I feel like I am living in the early 20th century! This book even advises you on how to take care of your family with food shortages from World War I!
There are several tradional recipes, as well as some old-time recipes that most of us have either not heard of before, or have long forgotten. You will find recipes for Rock Cookies, Molasses Cookies, Snickerdoodles and Wine Jumbles!
If you know of anyone looking for Grandma's cookie recipe, check this book out! If the recipe is not in there, I am sure you will find several in there that you will love!
