The aroma from the cafeteria when the lunch ladies baked cookies made us so happy.

I grew up in Chicago, and we used to get these in high school, back in the 70’s. I remember watching the cafeteria ladies making these. I will vouch for how amazing they are! Excellent choice!

Can't wait to try I will make soon.😊

Love butter cookies

Cant wait to try this one

I’m from Chicago and our lunch room cookies will always be legendary!

You can also use a glass with a pattern, or a juice reamer, or anything with a pattern to make look a little more special.

Im from chgo a lived there in dolton now live in corbin.ky 30 yrs

Y'all pray for my great grandfather and my grandson, they have covid-19. She is 6 months old 🙏🙏

Just made these, I added fresh lavender infused into my butter and lemon extract.

I love COOKIES 🍪❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

These are my husband’s favorite! They’re famous. There was a time it was better to ask for the recipe to KFC than ask for Chicago’s Public School Butter Cookies! My mother in law went to the school and begged for it! They gave it to her and I’ve had it ever since. My husband went to school there before he went to private school. Love your show! 💕💕

Lemon Thins. I loved them!

I love cookies of any kind. And you do a great job so what no one is perfect and your pretty to watch and got a very pleasant voice. And your so up lifting. Just keep doing a great day dont worry so much .God bless you and your family

Hello Miss Leslie, thank you for sharing my Chicago Public School Cafeteria Butter Cookie recipe. I am honored to be the first cookie recipe this week on your channel. The cookies are amazing and they taste PHENOMENAL LOL. The two extra tablespoons of flour is optional only if needed in the dough. I have the same scooper, mine may be the next size up. After you scoop the dough on the tray, I press three fingers on them to make waves or ridges and that will flatten the cookie out and make them a little larger as well If you want. The recipe does make more then it says. You did an awesome job making them and displaying them on your beautiful plate stand. So glad Pastor Bryant loved them as well. Love the new recliner😍

Hello Miss Charo O, Thank you so much for the recipe! May I ask, how much salt does your recipe call for if one should use unsalted butter? I would really, really, really appreciate it. Miss Leslie used salted butter but never mentioned how much salt to add if one should use unsalted butter in her video or in her description. I appreciate your time. God Bless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love your new recliner, it's very nice.

I'm definitely going to be making these! So simple, too, But, I know they were good by the look on your face.

I remember these cookies from grade school. These were the best cookies.

My high school lunch ladies made a big version of these and put almond and vanilla extract in them. So addictive!!!

Definitely going to make this..sugar cookies are my very favorite cookie. Can't wait & love your new recliner rocker. Lucky you & you so deserve it!! God bless all of you! 💖💕

We love our school butter cookies. Ty for sharing the recipe

I grew up eating these. They used to cost 10 cents a cookie (a pretty big one) when I was in grammar school. I learned how to make them because they are amazing! Edit as I watch the video...the cookies were always patted with 2-3 fingers making the cookie have grooves. They come out looking very rustic.

Yummy! I will try them. Thanks. I love a crispy/crunchy cookie. ♥️

I've made these several times since you posted this video a month ago. They're SO GOOD. Next Christmas, I'll be adding these to my gift cookie tins because I like them better than my shortbread recipe. Thanks so much for posting this recipe. :)

Hey you 2. Hope you are well n sassy. Hugs n love..

I REMEMBER THOSE LEMON COOKIES,THEY WERE MY FAVORITE.ME AND MY GRANDSON ARE GOING TO MAKE THESE COOKIES SOON,I'M SURE HE WILL ENJOY THAT,THANKS FOR SHARING,GOD BLESS YOU AND PB,LOVE Y'ALL

OK - you got me with the 1-2 punch. The cookies and your new recliner made me a subscriber(of course, your personality & beautiful smiling face, too) I've been shopping for a recliner for over 2 months now. I'm confined to home, so naturally it's been online. The one I love is over $1,800 so I keep looking.

Wow, this looks great! Thanks for sharing, friend. Let's stay connected!

Thank you for sharing all of these wonderful recipes! Love your blue items!!

Yes Leslie...they were nabisco brown edge wafers. Growing up they were my family’s favorite cookies!!!

I live in the Chicago area. These cookies are FAMOUS here!

Cookies looked good and so easy to whip together,the additional 2 tbsp of flour was optional,if the dough was too sticky.💕💜💕

Sugar cookies are my favorite ... I will be trying these !

Yummy 😋

My husband said we were going to weigh 500 lbs if I didn't stop making all these recipes lol!

These look yummy and so easy.

Being born & raised in chicago i miss these so much ! Ty ty for this recipe :)

The extra 2 tsp of flour is to go in your flour. With you putting the sugar on top they should be called sugar butter cookies.

I love me some butter cookies so I can't wait to try this one. I keep picturing two of them sandwich together with Nutella between them. Yum yum!

Hello and thanks for sharing those cookies it's 11pm on Wed Feb 10 oh wow watching you make those cookies I want an espresso coffee right now ☕ Making them tomorrow. A fan from Australia ❤🇦🇺🌹

Since there butter cookies you can put any flavorings in them and also color them

I'm from Chicago and had these cookies in high school everyday with a Bubble Up soda!

Can’t wait to try these! Sound like a shortbread cookie!😍

They are. It's a very simple butter flavor with a hint of almost coconut, but the texture is perfect. It has that crumbly, crunchy buttered flour texture.

Those cookies look so good! And you’re right the possibilities are endless 😁❤️🙏

I just had to stop to make a batch of these cookies. They are delicious! I've been looking for a good recipe for years and could not find one. Thank you and thank the person who sent you the recipe. I added two pinches of salt because I used unsalted butter. BTW, I stamped my cookies with a glass mug from the Dollar Tree. It has a sunburst design on the bottom. The cookies are beautiful. They are supposed to be a Valentine's gift for my grandsons, but they may not make it to their house. I've already eaten a half dozen!

These sound like a delicious cookie. Sugar cookies are my 2nd favorite cookie, after chocolate chip. We are cookie lovers in our house. ♥️ Always enjoy your channel. You guys are real & down to earth. I love making new recipes! You have given me several to try out.

Pecans. 😀.

Yummy love me so cookies !

I am definitely what you try these cookies too. You haven't ever heard of fried ice cream it is definitely really good. Especially with honey drizzled over top

Love you guys!

Love the recliner 💓

Cookies look good!😋

Yummmmmy!!👏👍🥰💕

Can't wait to try these. You could make your own sanding sugar by putting a little food coloring in the sugar before dipping your glass. Or decorate with royal icing (hearts for Valentine's Day) dip in colored sanding sugar. I don't remember the lemon cookies you mentioned. Does anyone else remember the lemon cooler cookies? They only came out during summer and maybe spring. Love your new recliner.

Oh my those look Delicious ♥️♥️ Patricia

Such an easy recipe! Thanks Sharlene! Yes, I know the brown edge lemon cookies! I can see and remember how they smelled and tasted. Your recliner is so pretty. Enjoy! ❤️❤️

Yay Chicago!!! They look amazing! I will have to try these! My hubby & I crack at how you pronounce Aldi!! LOL Happy Valentines Day to you & Bryant!💕

Yummm must try these xx

I'm will try them. Thank you so much for the recipe. God bless y'all!

The cookies look good on your cake stand. I can’t wait to try those.

Love your videos watched an episode on no bake cookies love them when i lived in tennessee we called them cow patties

Trying these for sure

Oh my! The nuns used to make these, minus vanilla, for us in school. These were my favorite and I got the recipe. The only thing you have to remember is--YOU HAVE TO USE REAL BUTTER. They do not work with margarine or shortening.

@TheFarmingPastorsWife

Yes always real butter!

Oh no! You never put sugar on top of these cookies! The flour is for the ice cream scooper and your three fingers! Also, we use unsalted butter, always & McCormick Pure Vanilla Extract! Once the dough is on the cookie sheet, you take your three middle fingers and press them into the top of the dough! Try it again and let me know how they turn out! By the way, I went to Herbert Spencer Public School! Hugs and blessings!

The three fingers is mandatory...lol. I make these every year for our Christmas cookie swap at Church. I have doubled the recipe and use powder sugar and regular sugar. I add almond extract and vanilla. They taste just like home, I am once again transformed back to my school years!!!

Pitch, pitch me a couple I got my coffee 🤣🤣🤣

I found through the years that even when using salted butter, which I always use, it just isn’t enough to round out the flavor of the recipe if the salt required is left out . I always use the amount of salt in the recipe regardless and after 45 years of baking haven’t messed up once. But to each his own and it’s up to each persons individual taste. Thanks for the recipe!👍.

I love lemon cookies
