I was going to do some more scans and posts, and then life interferred and I didn't have time. But I will, promise.  Meanwhile, here is my grandmother's recipe for Goopy Gobs:

Goopy Gobs (Grandma Kepple)

4 cups flour

2 cups sugar

½ tsp. baking powder

½ cup Crisco

2 tsp. baking soda

½ cup cocoa

1 cup sour milk (to make sour milk put 3 Tbs. vinegar into cup then fill with milk)

1 cup boiling water

1 tsp. vanilla

Cream sugar and Crisco

Put soda in milk

Mix dry ingredients and add all together

Mix

Drop by teaspoonfuls onto greased cookie sheet

Bake at 350 degrees till done, about 10 min.

Icing

½ cup Crisco

2 Tbs. butter

1 egg

2 cups powdered sugar

1 tsp. vanilla

½ tsp. salt

2 Tbs. flour

Mix all together

Stick back sides of 2 cookies together with icing

 

Very fond memories of these from my childhood

I just love the name of these cookies! That seems like a lot of vinegar to me, though. I've always used 1 Tbsp for a quart.

Also, for the icing, it's a lot safer to use the refrigerated egg substitute or egg whites from the dairy case in place of raw eggs. Egg Beaters and their ilk are all pasteurized, unlike real eggs. The package will tell you how much is equivalent to one egg.
