Ammonia Cookies image

WHEN LOOKING THROUGH A COOKBOOK OF OLD WRITTEN RECIPES FROM MY HUSBANDS FAMILY, WE CAME ACROSS AMMONIA COOKIES. ALL I COULD THINK OF IS GROSS AND WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE PEOPLE THINKING USING AMMONIA. WOULDN'T THAT MAKE A PERSON SICK? WHAT I DIDN'T REALIZE IS THAT AMMONIA CARBONATE IS A BAKERS INGREDIENT. I HAVE NEVER MADE...

This recipe works well. store these large cookies in a closed container. (Caution, when opening the container the aroma WILL clear your sinuses). It comes right out of the Mennonite Cookbook (Altona Women"s Institute Cookbook). A typical cookie is large and very thick and should look white not browned. With a bit of a fluffy texture.

AMMONIA COOKIES



Ammonia Cookies image

Jenan Madden, the manager of a book store in Seattle, shared this recipe with The Times. She acquired it as a child from a favorite baby sitter. "The taste is great," she said. "And it's fun telling people what they are called." (Ammonia cookies are in fact made with ammonium carbonate, a form of baking soda, not cleaning ammonia, which is poisonous.)

PEPPERMINT COOKIES WITH BAKING AMMONIA



Peppermint Cookies With Baking Ammonia image

Yes, these are safe to eat. These are a lovely white soft cookie with a thin coating of icing. I can remember my Grandmother making these at Christmas with pink or mint green icing. Sad to say, I did not get her recipe. These cookies are enjoyed in many Mennonite homes with the recipe past from generation to generation. This recipe is one I got from a friend in Winnipeg which I found to be similar. The preparation time is only the time in mixing the dough, not the time in the fridge.
