Van De Kamps Maple Pecan Cookies by George Geary

Oh the rich pecan maple flavor will get you hooked and take you back to 1956 at Van De Kamps Bakery. This recipe is from the original formula created into a recipe that you can make at home. I convert, test, and retest to make sure the cookie is as best as perfect as possible. If you would like the same results, use a scale and weigh in grams, use the ingredients and tools that I use and you will have great success. I even provide links to the “strange” tools and ingredients you may not have in your pantry. Good luck and Post a picture in the Van De Kamps Facebook Page! VDK Facebook Page Link

Magee's Nuts and Cashew Butter Cookies by George Geary

Food History is all around us. Today I made some Cashew Butter Cookies with Magee’s Nut Butter. Magee’s is located at the Orginal Farmers Market in Los Angeles and online. It was the first stand at the market that was not a produce stand. Magee’s has been around since 1912. Check out the YouTube video below on the story of the business. See which President Stopped past and what the Fab 4 had to say back in the 1960s. I guarantee that the cashews are the best in the world. Also, try the pistachio butters!

To get the “waffle” impression I use a cookie stamp from Nordic Ware. I have included the link below.
