I’m also from Memphis but I live in Georgia now. I use to love those butter cookies too. But this recipe is no good. It was just a test recipe. I’m looking for a better recipe. When I find one I will make a video. Thanks for watching 😊
@@cookingwithsandrafay every couple of years The Commercial Appeal prints out the recipe. My grandmother was a cafeteria lady she has dementia and I couldn't get the recipe.
The same with my Aunt, she was a cafeteria lady too and her mind is not good anymore. I will see if I can find the article in the Commercial Appeal. Thanks!
The margarine we have today is not the same as the margarine we had way back when I was a child. Even the ones now that say they are great for baking are still not the same as the old recipes called for, so I always combine margarine with some butter for my cookies. Thanks for video! 😊
❤I so loveyour style you remind me of my grandmother when we sat and learned fo bake Canning and cooking fhank you for allowing us to be blessed by your joy and for showing us how its done stay blessed
This is my first time watching your video. I appreciate your honesty before I made the recipe. I only want to make a small batch, perhaps a dozen or so only for myself. You are so funny, and sweet. Thank-you
😅thank you for your honesty, and I'll definitely take your advice and try your recipe first. I just subbed and again, thank you so much ma'am, and I look forward to more recipes 😃💕
They look good. I'm a butter girl these days. I think they've changed the margarine. Its different. My cookies always come out hard and crunchy. I might add some baking powder next time.
I also think they’ve changed the margarine recipe. I’ve tried this recipe before, but it doesn’t taste like the school butter cookies. Even switching to butter doesn’t work. School butter cookies were more like shortbread.
Do they taste like Makeda's cause... That's what my school's cookies tasted like... Just like how Makeda's butter cookies taste like now. I get better results with Imperial margarine... But, I still can't get Memphis City Schools or Makeda's results.... It's true.
I did not like the taste of these cookies. This was a test kitchen video. So it wasn’t my recipe. They did not taste like the Memphis School Cookies I use to eat. My Aunt worked as a Memphis school cafeteria cook. But she has dementia now so I can’t even get it from her 🤦♀️.
Don't you just love when you can't find the word then remember it! The only thing I'd do differently is use real butter in it! Quit using all margarine about 15 years ago when it wouldn't melt in a skillet anymore. Lol. I just can't abide the taste of margarine even anymore. What I REALLY love is the old fashioned Amish butter that comes in a big 2 lb roll! Expensive but really tastes like old fashioned churned butter!! Hardly ever buy it except for Christmas cookies for gifts...
@@charliechurch5004 I started buying it all the time now! It's the one splurge thing I will always buy! I'll get no brand everything else but don't mess with my Amish butter! Lol.
No it wasn’t. Whoever created that recipe didn’t have a clue how school butter cookies taste. Thanks for watching dear. Be sure to watch my other cooking videos that actually taste awesome. 😊
Use real butter (always), not margarine Also, the recipe is 2 Sticks butter, 1/2 cup of sugar, 2 cups flour, 1/4 tsp salt, 2 tsp of vanilla extract, cream butter and sugar, add everything else and beat til dough. Form into balls and flatten with fork or fingers. Bake on 350 for 10-15 minutes.
I grew up in Memphis. I love love these cookies. These kids these days don't know how good they were.

At least she was honest 🤣🤣😂😂😂 she said it don’t taste lik school house I love it
Thank you for your honest review. Those were the best cookies ever... it was the reason a lot kids graduated from school.
I love her attitude and the bit of the music
Thank you for your honesty! Good video!
Favorite cookies in the world!
Mine too but that recipe sucks 🤦♀️
@@cookingwithsandrafay I tried it, I wasn't impressed, I remember it being more flakey and buttery.
Being from Memphis I gotta try this
That’s was a taste test recipe from someone else. I didn’t like that recipe. They are not better than my butter cookies which I will make in December.
You put a smile on my face through the whole video and I thank you for that.
Awww ☺️ thank you for your wonderful comment. So sweet 😊.
This is my first time watching your video. I appreciate your honesty before I made the recipe. I only want to make a small batch, perhaps a dozen or so only for myself. You are so funny, and sweet. Thank-you
Thank you for your honest report and sweat labor.🤗
Thanks dear for watching 😊
Butter cookies sound and look excellent! What a nice holiday recipe! Looks great, good work!
Wells Station Elementary, 1972 for me. I don't think for a minute that margarine was used. Couldn't beat the cookies or the Bag-O-Bullets fudgecicles.
Perfect 👌 because my son loves these butter cookies. I’m going to surprise him Christmas Day.
Thank ya kindly
I will adjust.
I remember them being 2 for a $1 when I went to Brownsville Road Elementary
Can you make school pizza like they had in the 70s
My Favorite..trade my milk

Thank you for subbing😊. Don’t try that recipe, it was horrible. I will find another recipe for butter cookies that is much better.

This recipe was a flop…don’t try it. I’m searching for a better one. Thanks for commenting 😊.
I also think they’ve changed the margarine recipe. I’ve tried this recipe before, but it doesn’t taste like the school butter cookies. Even switching to butter doesn’t work. School butter cookies were more like shortbread.
Nothing like being honest ❤
It's ok I'm just getting to this cooking video, Yum, Yum 🤗

I used the same recipe, I don’t think the schools shared the real recipe.

Where is the 3 finger print in the top of the cookies?
Do they taste like Makeda's cause... That's what my school's cookies tasted like... Just like how Makeda's butter cookies taste like now. I get better results with Imperial margarine... But, I still can't get Memphis City Schools or Makeda's results.... It's true.
