Brown Sugar Cookies



I made these brown sugar cookies based on a Crisco recipe that Dkzody spoke about in a recent blog post. She asked Crisco for permission to publish the recipe and they said 'no'. So you can just search for the recipe yourself and we can all avoid copyright infringement!

They were absolutely delicious and disappeared very quickly, besides being a simple, easy recipe!

A good friend and her husband dropped by with some of her own homemade cookies on the weekend,  quite an assortment, they are all good!   We had a nice chat about the passage of life, as we've known each other for about 30 years!

I looked up the recipe just by googling Crisco brown sugar cookies. It looks wonderful, but I have to stop myself from baking more sweets. But it sure does look very tempting.

I am trying to eat less until Christmas but it has not stopped me baking. I just am not eating too much as after Christmas I go on the cruise and I fear what is going to happen. Like gain 30 pounds or something. These cookies do look delicious indeed and funny about the recipe copyright.

My 14 years old son made fudge brownie last night, and I have to really discipline myself from eating them all..

These brown sugar cookies look so good..

Crisco said no!!!! Are they crazy?!?! Sheesh.

With all the social media there is today, one beautiful cookie post on Pinterest or a blog with the recipe included could have people rushing to the grocery store to buy some Crisco! I can't even remember the last time I bought Crisco and wasn't even sure they still made it.

Your cookies look fantastic, by the way. Didn't mean to get off on a rant, but "No." was so out of touch by Crisco.

Bon appetite! xo jj

I agree totally Joanna, odd indeed from a large corporation. Now I'm totally paranoid about plagiarizing.

They said no. I had gotten the recipe from the bottle of Crisco oil, but it calls for Crisco shortening, which I buy in cubes, like butter. I buy the butter flavor and use it in so much of my baking and also for frying. It is too bad that Crisco doesn't want their recipes shared, but I guess I can understand due to copyrights and such.
