1922 Trefoil Cookie Recipe


 Quick Oven: 375-400F. Hot Oven: 400-425F. Very Hot Oven: 450-475F. Extremely Hot Oven: 500F or more. (They are from wood stoves that don’t have settings. Some grandmothers used to use things like flour and white paper to tell her how hot her oven was. Things like meringue cookies went in the “slack oven “ around 250 -200 from where the fire had died and the temperature was “slacking off)

  1. So strange to see this recipe. I have 2 boxes of Trefoil Girl Scout cookies in my pantry now. Wonder if this recipe was the one the bakers used.

  2. The OP said it is the original recipe. I haven't made it yet. Waiting for Mei's grandson to visit.
