People have tried to duplicate those lunchroom cookies for decades but to no avail. I Grew up in the seventies and you could smell those cookies a mile away. Just the smell alone had you hypnotized. The only way to duplicate those cookies is bring back those cafeteria workers that baked those goodies in the seventies. Peanut butter cookies were the bomb as well.
I was poor growing up in Chicago, I remember the cafeteria ladies would sometimes give away a free cookie when I passed through the lunch line! I still remember how grateful I was to the lady putting it on my tray❤ Memories, those cookies were delicious ❤
Here ya go chicago high school butter cookies 1 pound butter 1 1/2 cups sugar 3 1/2 cup flout 1 tsp vanilla Whip butter and sugar until fluffy Add flour a little at a time. Don’t over mix Bake 350* for 15 minutes
I absolutely love these cookies. My Mom was a CPS teacher and would bring those butter cookies home. I also remember getting them from the lunchroom. Such great memories.
3 for 10 or 15 cents, and do not forget the chocolate milk, and don't forget to dip your cookie in the milk. I brought my cookies before I brought my lunch because if I waited , they would all be gone. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤the flashback of the "GOOD OLD DAYS."
There was a woman that lived around the corner from me that sold those cookies. She worked in the lunchroom when they still sold HOT lunches and she knew how to make them. After she retired, she still sold those cookies from her home.
I made a variety box of cookies for family this Christmas. There were eight different cookies in the box. CPS butter cookies were the biggest and the center cookie.
@goody71988 I've brought some from a Walgreens once and was disappointed. They are not good in my opinion. The taste is most definitely not the lunchroom cookie I remember. Everyone's palate is different.
I loved those cookies at Dunbar in the 70’s. If you were assigned lunch at a later period they would be all sold out. If I could bring some home the family loved them too.
@@candyh9876 there was no cookie day, the cookies were offered at the end of the cafeteria line when you paid or got a free lunch. I think they were 10 cents or a quarter. But sometimes the cafeteria ladies would put a cookie on the trays of the kids that couldn't afford one which was me! I went to CPS in the 80s

The fondest memories . I lived for those cookies every day in elementary school .
A cherished memory at Lindblom Tech❤❤❤
South out from Gage Park ❤
Those were delicious back in the 80’s.
Were they soft or hard and crunchy?
Seen a lot of copycats but none of them ever captured the same taste

@@Imissyoulouyeah we had hot lunches everyday. Those women knew how to cook .
Loved them!
Not from Chicago, but this is awesome!!!

I thought that was a specialty of my school 😭. They even sold them on Saturdays lol.
Gotta try these one day. Much respect to a female black owned business. Also, much respect to the Latinos working hard in the kitchen.
There should have had some Blacks in there working. It was Black women that baked those cookies at Mason School on the Westside of Chicago.

She said they were good- but she didn't say spot on.
I wish I could order a package of those cookies!
Make an order with me
Just make them at home
If anyone on here is in the Memphis area, "Makeda's" cookies taste just like those school butter cookies. They sell them in Kroger's stores. 😋
😊✨
We didn’t have these in Philly
I went to school in chicago I never heard of "cookie day" !!!

Her voice sounds a lot like Michelle Obama. 🥰

Her cookies are not good
