Jubliee Jumbles

Mom has all her go-to recipes Scotch taped to the inside of her cupboard, the cupboard that also held the Bayer Children's Aspirin, the Wrigley's Spearmint Gum, and the sprinkles. Besides the recipe for Magic Cookie Bars was her original Jubliee Jumble recipe, clipped from a Gold Medal Flour package who-knows-how-many years ago.

Thanks, Dad, for scanning the original for me:

Mom doesn't mix in the walnuts, and instead adds 1 tsp vanilla. Let me tell you how many ways these cookies are good:

• As cookie dough.
  
• Warm from the oven.
• Cooled, unfrosted.
• Frosted with basic powdered sugar icing.
  
• Frosted, with sprinkles.
• Frosted, with a big walnut on top.
• Frosted, dipped in coconut.
• Frosted with burnt butter icing.

And finally, just the way I enjoyed them today: sent through the mail, each cookie individually tucked into plastic wrap for maximum freshness. Exquisite! Thanks, Mom! You made my entire week!
