I miss you Mrs. Phyllis & Mr. Bucky. God sent you into my life to make me a better cook & more generous with people. Your loving son is God sent

Email to heaven: I’m so glad we can still get on here and hear and see you, Miss Phyllis. Sure will miss you. Mr. Bucky , too. I know you two are having a heavenly time! Please tell my mother, Mildred, hello and I love her and miss her too.

I'mma giggling again, remembering last night, with you and Mr. Bucky going back and forth over them. Love both of your all's sweet hearts!

I am from Winston-Salem, North Carolina. My grandmother was a somebody in the arts and theater community so she had many friends and acquaintances who worked in the Old Salem area. When I was a small child, we went there every year at Christmastime. We walked around the old Moravian village and ended up in a place where we sang carols and had cookies and hot chocolate. It seemed so cold and it was so warm there! (This was before I learned what cold is!) Then we always went home with a few boxes of Moravian Ginger cookies at the bakery. My grandmother doled them out sparingly but I remember we got to eat some on Christmas day. We also had a Moravian star on the front porch. I am told it was not easy to put together and hang but my grandmother (who we lived with) would work at it until it was done. It had many different points of various sizes that had to be put together just right to make the star. I heard her say a few "bad words" when she was putting that thing together so I don't doubt it was hard for her to put together. Wonderful memories (even if they are fuzzy with time)! I found a recipe found a recipe in a cookie cook book when I was in my teens. I was determined to make them. I remember rolling them was not fun. I also remember they were not thin enough and my Mother (who didn't make any of the Christmas cookies) criticized them terribly. I don't remember if they tasted good or not anymore. I was pretty crushed and it was the last time I tried to make them! The video makes me want to try again! So maybe I'll try again closer to Christmas and see how they go.

Sarah Kleimeyer Hi! From WS too! Love these cookies and Old Salem!

Thanks Susan, I deserved that because the cookies were very hard to make. My husband now has a good supply of Moravian cookies, those from Saturday and those from Monday. I like the ones I made Monday and he likes the ones made Saturday. Saturdays were sweeter and thicker with a little more heat. Thanks for commenting, Phyllis

My grandma made a refrigerator cookie like this (obviously not so thin and perfect)...so happy you are in heaven together with Him...thanks for loving and sharing so much with us..prayers for your family...

I made the Old North Carolina Moravian cookies today and they turned out amazing! I am a baker for years so I knew the challenge of making a cookie that is roll out and very thin. I did not melt my shortening and I used Saigon Cinnamon instead of the cayenne and regular cinnamon. I also used the mixer from start to finish, starting with the creaming beaters and ending with the dough beaters. I also did not refrigerate the dough. The trick to these tasty morsels is patience and a metal scraper. I used a good amount of flour on the counter and rolled the dough gently and carefully. After I used the cutters I made sure I had a little flour on the edge my metal scraper and simply shoveled them up and onto a parchment lined cookie sheet. CAREFUL when baking ... I only needed 6 min to bake! I'd love to share a photo, but, I don't see the ability on this comment section. Thanks so much for making and sharing this video Phyllis.

Phyllis this is the recipe from Old Salem Moravian cookies Moravian Cookies In the 1950s and 60s Edna Spach and Pearl Edwards made and sold Moravian cookies in the Winston-Salem area. Both were members of the Trinity Moravian Church. This recipe first appeared in The Old Salem Museum and Gardens Cookbook. Note: This recipe makes a LOT of cookies - feel free to halve, or even quarter. Ingredients ● 1 quart molasses ● ¾ pound brown sugar ● ¾ pound shortening ● 2 Tbsp ground cloves ● 2 Tbsp ground ginger ● 2 Tbsp ground cinnamon ● 2 Tbsp baking soda ● 3 ¼ pounds flour Directions 1 In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat the molasses, brown sugar, spices, and shortening over medium heat until the shortening is melted and the mixture is uniform. Do not let it scorch! 2 Add the baking soda and mix well until it is dissolved. The mixture will be very foamy. Remove from the heat, pour into a large, heat-proof mixing bowl, and let cool to room temperature. 3 When cool, add the flour. Mix until the flour is fully incorporated, roll into a ball, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight. 4 The next day remove the dough from the refrigerator, preheat the oven to 325 F, and prepare a large cutting board or counter top by sprinkling liberally with flour (flour your rolling pin too). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Cut off a fist-sized chunk of the dough and return the rest of the dough to the refrigerator while you work. At this point it is important to work quickly while the dough is still cool. Roll the dough until it is uniformly thin - ¼ to ⅛ of inch thick; don’t be afraid to use more flour to prevent the dough from sticking to the board or the rolling pin. Cut out the cookies using whatever shape cookie cutter you wish, gently brush off any excess flour with a pastry brush, and place on the parchment-lined cookie sheet (a thin spatula will help to move the cookies). Bake at 325 F until barely browned around the edges, 7-10 minutes. 5 Repeat the process with the remaining dough until all the cookies have been baked, remembering to work quickly and keep the dough chilled. The dough keeps quite well in the freezer, so you can roll out the sheets and freeze them for up to 3 months for future use. Just remove from the freezer and let rest at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before cutting; bake as directed above.

They are a beautiful comedy team. I didn't know I wanted one until they had the disagreement. Lol.

I live 5 minutes from the Mrs. Hanes cookie factory and go to church with the Hanes family just up the road at Friedberg Moravian. They are a small business but they stay super busy year-round because they ship all over the world. Really wonderful, humble Christian family. Their recipes are all old family recipes that have not been tampered with. They are the real deal. Most people like the spice (ginger) cookies but my favorites are the sugar cookies and black walnut cookies. Mrs. Evva Hanes is also a wonderful cook and has published a couple of cookbooks which you can buy on their website.

Time love sugar spice And a tiny pinch of cayenne. I love your BEAUTIFUL accent. God bless and keep you. Lovely recipe.

I used to make cookies for extra $$$. I did it for three years during the holiday season. They were all cut out and decorated. The last year I made a total of 5,000 cookies. They are not my favorite thing to make -one regular oven and four cookie sheets. A lot of work !! But people really enjoyed them!

Thanks Phyllis, I had never heard of Moravian Spice cookies. I did see a Moravian Church one time though in St. John U.S. Virgin Islands, but I did not go there because I had never heard of it before. Later I found out that the church would have been OK for a Christian to attend. In fact, it was Moravian pilgrims that had an influence in the life of one of the Wesleys. I can't remember now if it was John or Charles, but I think it was John. He was impressed with their Christ like approach to life, and their demeanor.

I’m from Winston-Salem, NC. My grandmother, made and sold these cookies in the 50’s 60’s and 70’s. Yes, they are very hard to make, but well worth it. She had a board with fabric to roll them out on as you said. Brings back great memories. Thank you for sharing. Your hard work. Faye

You were so Zen in how patiently & lovingly you worked on this delicacy. I loved reading all the stories of memories and traditions. I've never had them but I am surely going to make a batch just to enjoy the experience. Thank you Phyllis. Once again, you are a true gem. Xoxo

I love watching your cooking videos because this is like going to cooking school I learn so much because my mom was always so busy she couldn’t take time to teach you very much about cooking meals

I sure miss her. I watched every new video she put out. I'm so glad to still get to watch her. I hope the dogs are ok.

What a great gift idea!!! I think I will try to make these before Christmas and freeze them for gifts! Thank you for sharing all of your tips!!! ❤️

Oh, how I miss you and Mr Bucky!❤❤

I'm so pleased! For days I've been trying to remember a word you use that I've never heard. I had told my husband and daughter about this, but couldn't remember the word for the life of me! (We are northerners living in Washington state. I'm guessing this is why I've never heard the word before.) I was unable to remember which video of yours I had heard it in, and had finally given up on remembering. Just now I clicked on this video, and you said it right away! Hurray! The word is "teeniny". 😃 Thanks for the hours of sharing and entertainment!

Bucky was hilarious talking to her about the recipe for these cookies!! I miss both of them ! But I know that they're happy being with Renee again !!

Phyllis (the 'Magic Baker/Cook'): What about Crisco-painting a sheet of parchment paper on the bottom (to bake on) and Crisco-painting wax paper top sheet (to roll with) along with both sheets floured? If you use parchment paper on the bottom you could just slide the sheet onto your baking pan and reuse it on the next batch. You can reuse parchment at least 4 times for cookies. Just a suggestion. Love and hugs from Georgetown, TX ... Sandy Barr

A bean masher works well to mix these if you don’t have a heavy duty mixer. I also use a tortilla press to flatten the cookies paper thin. 💞🙋🏻‍♀️

no wonder you two love and loved each other so much Mrs. Phyllis!

Wow that was a hard recipe for cookies. I'M so glad Mr Bucky got his Moravian cookies. I know he enjoyed theM. RIP both of you, love and miss you both, 💜🌹🙏🙏😇😇🙏🙏💜

Phyllis, you have more patience than I would. Hope Mr Bucky enjoyed his Moravian Cookies!!!

God bless you Mrs. Phyllis. This is indeed a labor of love! Cookies look delicious! TFS

Awe, when I see these cookies or their name in the future, I will always think of you and Mr Bucky talking about printing the recipe. Along with pictures. Oh deary me. 😉 😇x To get these biscuits as a gift, surely means who ever made them for you, cares a great deal for you. A lot of time and effort goes into making them. 💖

You two are adorable , and the recipes are wonderful.Problem being I have been watching these videos for two hours, and have lots more to go then do it all over again...what a breath of fresh air!

Glad he got his cookies! Great video and looking forward to making these.

Phyllis these cookies look and sound delicious. I never heard of them until you mentioned them in your last video. Love how they are eggless. They're super thin and you odd a fantastic job as they didn't tear. Yum, thank you as always

Phyllis, I'm a fan! I'm going to try to make these wafers substituting a couple tablespoons of the flour with a couple tablespoons of cornstarch which should make the wafer lighter and more delicate than all flour. I will let you know how mine turn out. Thanks for sharing all of your videos. When I want something like lemon meringue pie I want the old fashioned recipe like mama and grandma used to make. Yours is just like mama's and grandma's pie. Can't be beat!

Phyllis, You can bake them right on the wax paper on a cookie sheet. I don't think I would try it on your new pans. But for years we have always used wax paper, before they sold parchment paper. I still do, it's cheaper.

Yep... you have it right this time. We still have a group of Moravian folks who live in the western part of NC. They sell their cookies during the year to specialty stores and hometown grocery stores. At Christmas, they have a large kiosk open in one of the big malls in Raleigh. My best friend and I try to go every year just for the cookies. Our favorites are the spice, lemon, and sugar.

Kathy, I saw that video too. They also put icing on them. I like the ones that are super thin. I think that video you mention put blue cheese, walnuts and then drizzled with honey. I might have to try that since we now have about 75 Moravian cookies. Thanks for commenting, Phyllis

I bet these would be awesome dipped in a mug of spiced Chai tea!

I was hoping we would get to see you present them to Mr. Bucky! I wanted to see his face when he bit into one! I bet he was a very happy man!😊

Steven I loved the video where your mom and mr. Buckey had the disagreement of the computer, seems like they are still here, they truly loved each other, and she went right behind him, they were a blessed couple, true meaning of marriage

That garden must be pristine!! What a good wife.

Wow! Those look great! I love these cookies. Thank you for sharing your recipe and also the wonderful tips. Thumbs up!

I wanted to see Mr. Bucky take a bite! He did some serious begging to get these cookies and Phyllis did some serious work to get these cookies. I hope he liked them!

I like the idea someone below mentioned of flattening a small ball of dough with a tortilla press. I'd put the dough balls between small squares of parchment paper, then just peel off the top layer and put the flattened dough and bottom square of parchment paper right on the cookie sheet and pop in the oven.

ohhh these look like my German Grandma's Christmas cookies!

Well Phyllis, I laughed a little when you said people make these for Christmas gifts. I'm not surprised. Once a year is probably enough...what with all the work you put into making them. If you get these cookies, (biscuits) know that the person you got them from, must like you a lot. 😂😂😘 A very interesting recipe and I love the crunch they made as you bit into it. I'll be trying this one out for my pest...er beloved. Hehe. X

Miss these videos rest easy Phyllis and Mr bucky

So therapeutic watching mrs phyllis do this for some reason lol

I hope your hubby knows how lucky he is..

Original Recipes are the Best

Now look son LOL, after watching the video of her and Mr Bucky having their disagreement on these cookies I'm rolling on the floor laughing because youtube posted this today there's no way that I'm not going to watch this video LOL and I may just have to make these cookies I sure am glad you kept these videos up cuz with that disagreement they had in the last video I laughed so hard my stomach hurt

I found a recipe elsewhere and started that before I found your video. I may try another batch using the spice combo and techniques you show.

Big difference in the ingredients in the sweeter cookies, plus there are leveling agents. Quite a challenge.

Miss Phyllis I sure do miss you and Mr Bucky

Boy that was a lot of smart work. I got tired watching you.. Lol you’ve got so much patience. They look so good I’d prob eat em all in one sitting ..

The patients of a saint !!.

I hope and pray that you are doing much better now

Mrs. Phyllis I know they wouldn't be a traditional round cookie but when just for you and buckle couldn't you, once the dough is rolled out thinn using a knife just cut horizontal and vertical lines and have squared cookies instead of taking time to have to peel away all that excess dough?

Also about him wanting the moravian cookies😂😂

Roll them.between two sprayed or oiled/buttered parchment sheets And cut in squares or lrg squares then triangles. Much easier as I have making roll our cookie cutter Anything lol.... You can do this with biscuits also... I also use a pasta press for some doughs lol...

Funny how the southern Moravians did cookies, while the northern Moravians did Sugar Cakes. We are in the throes of Sugar Cake baking right now. I can't make them anymore, but my husband does about 50 of them each year to give away.

He got his cookies. Yum

Sounds like something I'd love to try. If I can make croissants the real thing which the recipe I found takes 2 or 3 days to make bit boy are they good we ate the whole thing of croissants in one day. So I well try this. I like the challenge. I make my own tortillias so another challenge. Thanks for the video.

🧡I need to save this one too.

Mr Bucky got his wish ❤

I'm an American living in Norway and they do not sell Molasses at the grocery store. I finally found it but it's at the feed store but I would have to buy a 5 gallon bucket of it. I know that I could never use so much of it, so I've been looking for recipe that might use something else instead. This recipe that your using is similar to a Christmas cookie they make here but they use a dark syrup.

Hi Miss Phyllis. I was wondering if these are different from Ginger Snaps.

I make ginger snaps but they are easy. These remind me of the windmill cookies my mom always bought. They look like they are made in a pressed cookie.

Look very good...

Mr Bucky got his cookies

I wonder if when you roll them out if you flip the wax paper and peel off both sides of the wax paper (one side at a time) and lightly dust the paper and spread it around really good before recovering the dough. that way you have loosened the wax paper from both sides before cutting the cookies. also have your cookie sheet in the freezer before freezing the dough.

Phyllis, I think you would have much better luck cutting out those cookies if you had a floured cloth board . I think that is why the bakery that makes them do not have problems picking up those cut out cookies. Just look for one of these cloth boards that you can sprinkle the flour unto , and with hands spread out the flour well on that board...then roll out cookies. Just a thought :)

Alright, Mr. Buckey! I need to see a video of the completed yard! Looks like you got out of the dog house! Eat them slowly! She might not make them for a while! I'm hoping I'll got some in the mail for the Holidays! :D

Can you show up a recipe for snickerdoddle cookies? Not the thick kind but the ones that are thin and very crispy when they are finished baking???
