Do you remember those big, fluffy, delicious cakes that you like eating in Grandma's house? I sure do. I remember the big old wood stove in the kitchen of my grandmother and the delicious cookies that sat always in the "warmer" area. No matter the time of the day, there were always biscuits at the ready in the kitchen, grandma's! I grew up in the Midwest, where we had some mighty cold winters. One of the best things to do than sit in grandma's kitchen, where the heat from the large, oldcookstove made it the warmest room in the house. So if you're like me and have fond memories of sitting in grandma's kitchen to eat a homemade biscuits smeared with butter and shaken the hand-made jam, you might want to try one of these old-fashioned cookie recipes.
