These are a couple of recipes I got that are from the Edwardian era (c. 1905).  No scans, unfortunately, but I got them from a BBC website on a shows about Edwardian culture:

Edwardian Champagne Cup

Serves 10

  • 2 oranges, sliced
  • 1/2 cucumber, sliced
  • 2 sprigs of mint
  • 1 wine glass of brandy
  • 1 wine glass of orange Curacao
  • 1 bottle of Champagne (chilled)
  • 750ml soda water (chilled)
Put the Champagne, sliced oranges, mint, cucumber, into a jug or bowl. Add the orange Curacao, brandy and soda water. Stir until blended. Serve in tumblers over ice.

I remember making these cookies almost exclusively in the summer.  This was one of those recipes that was great for us on the farm, since Mom and Dad hated to use the electricity to for air conditioning unless it got above 100 degrees.  It uses a waffle iron to cook the cakelike cookie, so it's great for not heating up the kitchen.  I also did this for a Demonstration at 4-H Club Days once and got great marks, btw.  It originally came from my Mom, via a recipe on some premelted baking chocolate stuff you used to get in the 70s, I believe.  They are called Turtle cookies because of the shape, I believe.

Turtle Cookies
4 oz unsweeted baking chocolate
2/3 C margarine
4 beaten eggs
1 ½ C sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 ½ C flour
In a small saucepan, melt chocolate and margarine and set aside.  Mix together remaining ingredients, then add the chocolate mixture.  Heat waffle iron to hot.  Put about a tablespoon of mixture in the iron at a time.  Most irons fit about 6 cookies at a time.  Bake in a waffle iron for 1 minute.  They are done when they don't stick anymore.  After cooking, allow to cool a couple minutes before frosting(if you want them frosted).

I'm looking for a recipe. It was in a Taste of Home cookie contest. That issue of the magazine is lost from my collection. It has Ovaltine in it as well as semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips or chunks. Some kind of malted milk cookie. Does anyone have it?

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:

Very fond memories of these from my childhood
