Maggie's Farm

My favorite cookie recipes growing up were from Sturbridge Village. My first attempts at cooking were the Sturbridge Village cookie recipes.

I no longer have the pamphlet which we used for cooking Lumberjacks, the Sturbridge Village recipe for ginger cookies, but Wikibooks claims to have it. Good enough.

Other than size, there is not a lot of difference in the two recipes. Yours has less cinnamon , more ginger and uses cloves, which the Lumberjacks recipe does not. Lumberjacks use relatively more molasses and relatively less sugar. Without putting it to the taste test, I think I would prefer your recipe for its going heavy on the ginger.

I fondly remember my mother’s lebkuchen and mincemeat bars during the Christmas season. There was always a plate of mincemeat bars waiting for Santa. My mother’s homemade mincemeat didn’t use meat, but green tomatoes.

As Zachriel/Z-Team graced many other blogs before he settled on Maggie's Farm, and Dr. Mercury has hung out at Maggie's Farm for years, I very much doubt that Dr. M was Zachriel/Z-Team.
