Grandma Shirl's survival cookies from Deep Run Roots: Stories and Recipes from My Corner of the South (page 184) by Vivian Howard

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    I made this with pecans and dates instead of figs. They taste like pecan pie! Will make again!

    G. Shirl's original version was made with dates instead of figs. I want to try it made with dates.
