Mimis Cookies Recipes

These are huge cookies that the kids will love to get their little hands on. They are great to take to picnics or gatherings. I used to take them to Sunday School picnics when my grandkids were little. I even did a double batch for a treat at AWANA. Adults like them, too. They have delicious flavor. You may notice that there is no flour in the recipe--that is correct--there is no flour. The oats bind it together.

This is from a hand-written recipe of my mom's, called "Biscorta - large recipe". It makes approximately 144 cookies! Mimi used to make these at Christmas time, usually with my younger sister. They are delicious. This is posted as Mimi wrote it, and it was handed down from her Polish immigrant mother. There's not a lot of detail, and no substitutions are mentioned. I remember these cookies being no larger than 2-3 inches long, (in pretzel shapes). I am guessing at the prep and cooking time (for 144 cookies). At the bottom of the recipe it says, "THIS IS ALOT OF DOUGH! VERY GOOD AND NOT TOO SWEET." Enjoy!
