Publishers Text

The Farmer's Wife was a monthly magazine published in Minnesota between the years 1893 and 1939. In an era long before the Internet and high-speed travel connected us all, The Farmer's Wife magazine gave hard-working rural women a place to find--and share--advice about everything from raising chickens to running a farm kitchen. One of the magazine's most popular offerings was advice on baking, providing farm family recipes for making everything from basic bread to much-loved holiday desserts. This collection focuses on cookies, one of the more popular (and portable) favorite baked treats on the farm.

Recipes for everything from classic stand-bys like peanut butter cookies and oatmeal cookies to special treats like Danish Love Krandse and Scotch Short Bread are all included here, inviting readers everywhere to re-create the fragrant kitchens and delectable tastes of farm days gone by. Adapted for the needs of the modern kitchen, these classic recipes preserve the flavor of a life dedicated to feeding not just the family but the nation. They offer nostalgia and the chance to bake in a tradition unmatched since the 1930s.
