I just dug out my 1957 "Betty Crocker Cookbook for Boys and Girls" and saw that the original recipe is different from my recipe (calling for honey & much less shortening). I dug out my 1963 "Betty Crocker Cooky Book" and found that my recipe is actually the recipe for "Ethel's Sugar Cookies", but incorporates the egg yolk paint from the "Paintbrush Cookies" recipe, so that solves that mystery :)<br /><br />I think the cakey cookies could be due to the fact that there is very little shortening used in the original recipe (and actually a bit more flour is used). Unfortunately, I'm not much of a baker, so I can't give you any tips of how to remedy that, but the recipe on my blog has never failed me if you're up for giving it a try.Gwen @ Gwenny Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11885824702813908626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6926745918748541191.post-33591534140855090812017-12-08T06:16:00.985-05:002017-12-08T06:16:00.985-05:00Gwen, I noticed you didn’t use honey which the ori...Gwen, I noticed you didn’t use honey which the original recipe calls for. Any reason why? Also, I tried to make these with the original recipe and they turned out cakey:( any suggestions?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18222482121000277793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6926745918748541191.post-44345212176273846782015-12-22T21:04:29.562-05:002015-12-22T21:04:29.562-05:00@Cameron D. - Sorry it took so long to get back to...@Cameron D. - Sorry it took so long to get back to you. It's probably too late, but I think the cookies when painted probably would not do well in the freezer. I imagine the egg paint might crack considerably. Unpainted cookies would probably be just fine, though.Gwen @ Gwenny Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11885824702813908626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6926745918748541191.post-57656547461819296302015-12-18T21:43:25.037-05:002015-12-18T21:43:25.037-05:00Hi Gwen,

Usually they don't last long ;-) but this year I got the baking done a little early for Christmas and was wondering how long you think they would last. Would they freeze okay do you think? <br /><br />Thanks,<br />Michelle<br />Cameron D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09456384508255249704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6926745918748541191.post-24082947857761126852011-10-06T16:36:32.617-04:002011-10-06T16:36:32.617-04:00just gorgeous! and so beautifully styled.
