Chicago Crunchy Cookies
Chicago Crunchy Cookies
My sister gave me this recipe at least 30 years ago. I have made this recipe way too many times to count. Chicago Crunchy Cookies are delicious and addictive…This recipe makes a lot of cookies and they freeze great too. Chicago Crunchy Cookies are great to make when you need a lot of cookies such as for a bake sale, family picnic or to share at work. All that you need to serve with these delicious cookies is either a glass of milk or a cup of coffee. My Grandma Rose passed her love of cookies down to me and now I’ve passed that love on down to my grandson…she’d be pleased.

Cookies
Cookies are hands down my favorite “dessert.” There is something so sweet about having a couple of cookies after lunch or with a cup of coffee for a mid-afternoon snack. My love for cookies was passed down to me from my Grandma Rose. I can’t think of a time that I went over to her house and she didn’t have cookies in her pantry. My Grandma Rose always keep all of her groceries in a “pantry.” I’m not sure if that’s what she called it but her groceries were always keep in a small “closet” that had shelves lined with shelf paper.
The shelves and the contents on the shelves, were neatly arranged accordingly, (if I was a betting lady, I’d bet that my grandma is the reason for some of my OCD:) and a light bulb hung from the ceiling, to turn the light on you had to pull the long string and on it went. The pantry “closet” always had a door on it, which she kept closed. Grandma also kept a small step-stool in the pantry, a broom, and dust pan. On one shelf in her pantry, was an old, beat up, aqua blue Tupperware container. That aqua blue container is where she kept her cookies, her homemade cookies…
Tasty Tip
Yellow peas are low in fat and a good source of protein. One cup of cooked yellow peas has about 16 grams of protein and 1 gram of fat.
