PandaLeigh
I want to make these, reading all the comments, I'm now super confused: do u use 1 cup of cream, or does "cream" refer to the baking method?
ilikepotatoesalot
Wtf is oleo?
Brizzly1146
Oleo = Margarine. Margarine = Substitute for butter.
deathnotejustice
Hmm funny I guess you and 20 other people on here have the same dead grandma weird????
TheTongueThatsBittenThrough
I learned to cook from both my Grandmother and my Mother. One of the best days in my life was watching both teach my daughter to cook.
IPoopAfterDrinkingCoffee
Ha your mom
ButtNakedHandstands
Whelp, I'm going to have to try this now.
CoyoteTraveller
I suspect that the frosting recipe is one of the keys too
MrPompaztic361
I'll happily chill and roll out with some flour :)
MrGovernor
How long at 350, though?
ThatDudeDavid
Yoink! Thanks lady may you rest easy
Toob1
Is this really your mom's recipe OP?
HerpieDerpie814
Wait do I add an extra cup of cream or do I replace something with cream?
Cheomesh
So...basic cookies, then?
KarRuptAssassin
Nice repost, havent seen it in a while.

Fuck oleo

How long to you bake them for?
imaginedear
I'd say 10 to 12 minutes, brown on bottom

And all my mother taught me was how to shoot whiskey. And her dad taught me how to make a martini. Not the best lessons for a 9 year old
katercharlo
I love your mom for the recipe and I love your family for putting this headstone up. This is brilliant!
jew666
I bet shes sooooo pissed.

probably rolling in her grave
IgnisAurumProbat
So I'm a useless bachelor, what does it mean when it says "Add alternatively w/ 1 cup cream"?
LumosMx
If it doesn't mean add cream, my guess is add 1 c. at a time of flour, then continue creaming batter?

Obviously fake, but still funny.

Obviously?
SnowMeowPlush
Cream (Creaming Method) is not actual cream if anybody is wondering. It's mixing sugar and a fat (butter, oleo/Margarine, lard) together.
Sprinkleddonutdog
Omg thank you! It was slightly driving me nuts how everyone thought there was actual cream involved!
SnowMeowPlush
Ya, not sure if they're using the cookbook shorthand or....just culinary illiterate.
fyndir
I mean, further down it seems to read as adding actual cream (dairy product) rather then the method which is mentioned at the beginning?

PEOPLE DIED TO GET THIS RECIPE

well, Bothans. They're not *really* people.

Only 1 had to die.
SuperPickle17
People are dying to get into the cemetery though.

Found the dad.
ImgurCivilWar
But who did she kill to get it from
Brizzly1146
Nobody because this is her recipe.
Brizzly1146
Well, technically this is our recipe now.
thatssirtoyou
You die twice. First when you stop breathing, second when your name is spoken for the last time. Your mom will live on in cookies forever.
ThatMomentWhenImgurJokesAreOnlyFunnyToImgurians
Thankfully I have a common name, so I will never die ;)
lllo
Wow.. I don't know why I find that so terrifying, but so sweet that grandma will live on!
ThatMomentWhenImgurJokesAreOnlyFunnyToImgurians
Don't worry, your energy will literally live on forever :)
lllo
Thanks for that : )
CookieMonstersCrumbs
For some reason, this makes me smile. I guess because it reminds me of my grandma. She and my great grandmothers taught me how to cook.
elvianempire
heh, it started out that way with my grandma, but now I'm teaching her :)
superfeathers
Oh, is that so? Tell me more.

Family is something that is thrust upon us at birth. The friends we make are choices and the bonds can be better and stronger.
DrPillCosby
Same here. I was chef for 9 years. My G-ma and mom taught me how to cook. My sister has my moms cook book passed down 5 generations.
Lambourtitty
You had a great grandmother? Even my grandmother died before I was born
CookieMonstersCrumbs
I had 2 great grandmothers! They both lived well into their late 90's. One was from germany. I got to learn a lot from them before they died
mackspower
Nice to see men cooking
ghostpoker
True that. My dad was the best cook outta my friends dad's and even my mom. She's a great cook, but not so much anymore.
CookieMonstersCrumbs
I agree. It is awesome when men can and do cook. I however, don't have any man parts.
mackspower
Just doing my part to dispel stereotypes . . .
PolishPancakeWithCanadianMapleSyrup
I get envious every time I see a comment like this. I didn't get to grow up with grandparents. And my mom has decided to abandon the family.
InboxMeYourBelgianMalinois
My grandma screamed at me all the time and constantly ridiculed me :(
AndyDelReal
Do this for your kids when or if you have any. change the history your family has put on your childhood. Or whoever put what ever... anyways
PolishPancakeWithCanadianMapleSyrup
Growing up with no family is why me and my sister are super close and raise our kids super close.
colieco
This brought tears to my eyes. I'm sorry you didn't get to spend time with your grandparents. I'm sure they loved you regardless.
nsfwlifestyle
I'm sorry :/ I lost all of my grandparents between ages 6 and 8. i always felt jelous of "whole" families. now my life goal 1/2
nsfwlifestyle
is to raise my kids well like my parents and let them have the love and support of their grandparents. I'm sorry about your mom :( 2/2
Opportunist
You have an excellent life goal and I wish you all the awesome luck you can handle, with it and everything else!
nsfwlifestyle
lol you are very nice thanks!
hellotheregovenah
If she had the heart to abandon you, think what life would be like if she'd stayed. An awful parent present may have been worse. Js
PolishPancakeWithCanadianMapleSyrup
I hated her for years before she left. I just get upset/jealous over the fact that other ppl have huge loving families.
hellotheregovenah
Sorry about that, I hope you find wholeness in a family of your own one day:)
CookieMonstersCrumbs
Not every 'whole' family is loving. Find the things that were good in your life. I work on finding the good in things every day.
InboxMeYourBelgianMalinois
My family is huge but my grandmother has everyone manipulated to the extremes. She constantly screamed at me and berated me as a kid too. :/
goingcrazy
I'll be your mom, I make a crap ton of cookies at Christmas and never eat them all.
catweasels
I do what affectionately known as "anger baking". When I'm pissed off I bake mass quantities and feed my whole street. They love me lol
PolishPancakeWithCanadianMapleSyrup
I come with 2 children and 2 dogs so the cookies would never be wasted.
goingcrazy
It's a little early for me for grandchildren, but I'll adapt. You'll also have an infant brother and a dad, who's really good at dad jokes.
PolishPancakeWithCanadianMapleSyrup
So what are you saying? I could be your mom LOL
CookieMonstersCrumbs
Don't be jealous. There were a lot of sad times in there too. I lost my parents when I was very young, violently. Find the good in your life
talkingtothepast
You seem like the friend a lot of people need and are waiting for
HailStan
I'm sorry to hear that, but at least you have a frickin cat ass trophy right?
CookieMonstersCrumbs
Indeed!
popkiller2090
i like you
HailStan
But you killed pops... He was a good father!
awkwardashlyn
Any recipe old enough to use the word "oleo" usually turns out to be a keeper.
quietmrbean
.
Smadronia
I was raised by my grandparents. It wasn't until college that I learned not everyone knows the word oleo.
BonaFide
There is no way I'm eating margarin. I researched it and it's poison.
imhoots
Oleo used to be white and you added (food) coloring to it which came in a separate tube. BTW, it was illegal in Wisconsin, the Dairy State.
AdmJota
This is the first time I've seen it outside of a crossword puzzle.
NachoPete
Right?!
Cheomesh
It's just Margarine. I'll pass.
whollyindependent
Haha! RIP.
RankaMarx
I would too but I would just replace with sweet cream butter!

So which one of these oleos do I use?
FortuitousFenian
Oleo strut will also do
DeviIsAdvocate
Margarine, but I'm guessing you can use unsalted butter
NekoMiko06
Crisco? What If I used Ghee?
nanyatenyaa
Wow, soo good it has a curitain drop. That's a pretty cash money recipe for sure.
EternalSunshineOfTheSpotlessMind
What does a song by Sonny Rollins have to do with making cookies?
hadamardTransform
Underrated comment
ImThePastTenseOfDraw
Oleomargarine Is a type of butter you dunce
EternalSunshineOfTheSpotlessMind
Well shit, nothing gets past you, does it?
ImThePastTenseOfDraw
No. I will catch it.
baturro
No it isn't, "you dunce" It's margarine. And his/her comment went over your head anyway.
illtakethingsthatneverhappenedfor200alex
But why would you put a shock absorber for aircraft landing gear in cookies?
caramelballoffur
It gave them an unexpected taste so they were a truly special experience
CobraFlyingAnA10DroppingSpidersBecauseScrewYou
For that smooth taste.
illtakethingsthatneverhappenedfor200alex
Cookies needed more brrrrrrrttttt
LearnSomething
....this is just my chocolate chip cookie recipe with out the butter and chocolate chips.
SightlierGravy
Do you brown the butter? I love brown butter in cookies.
tetracycloide
But an essential step to cookies is creaming the butter and sugar so you brown it then harden it again to be creamed?
SightlierGravy
Basically, I like using this recipe. http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2013/12/the-food-lab-best-chocolate-chip-cookie-recipe.html
tetracycloide
So to answer my question yes, you do. That's impressive actually I'll have to try it.
deejdart
Ooohhh I'm so trying that
deejdart
They used oleo instead of butter. Used to be done all the time, now we're circling back to butter.
LearnSomething
Margarine makes for greasy cookies.
AnythingMuchShorter
I agree. Butter is so much better. And the Trans fat in margine actually makes it worse for you.
ChaosandChaos
And sadness. Because butter is delicious.
