Neighbor lady used to send down a plate of home made cookies from time to time.
I dropped a subtle hint or 2, and she gave me the recipe.
I make quite a few of those cookies now that she has passed, and I enjoy remembering her when I do.
It also turns out, I found a prototype recipe for those cookies from her mom in my mom's recipe file when I was going through it. I gave the handwritten recipe card back to the family. They were amazed to see it, and got a kick out of the differences in the recipes.
The old recipe had 2 forms of leavening (a change I incorporated in the cookies I make since they turn out thicker and chewier) a different form of shortening (that's since it is such an old recipe), and NUTS !!!
Everyone agrees, the cookies don't need NUTS !!!

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
