Visited a dear friend in Melbourne and her bf showed me his nan’s cookbook. He said this was one of their most favoured recipes for spreading on toast. Haven’t tried it yet - has anyone heard of or seen anything similar ?

Ok, two Christmas ago, I made the absolute best fruitcake I have ever had and haven’t been able to find the recipe since. It was for the most part a spice cake, lots of cinnamon and nutmeg and allspice, but it wasn’t dark. There was a moderate amount of fruit in the recipe, but the ingredients weren’t all boiled together. The result out of the oven was warmly spiced, sorta light/khaki in color and a little bit dry. I soaked it in apricot and blackberry brandy and it became stickier and more batter-y but still held its shape.
It tasted a bit like the rum cake you buy in that little yellow box ..read more

Hi! This sub is great. For decades I've been searching for my grandmother's Ice Cream Cookie recipe after losing it. She was born in 1904 so this would have probably been a 1950-60 recipe. I definitely ate them in the 1960's.
It's a simple brown edged wafer, with Crisco as an ingredient - perhaps the main fat. You put a chip, cinnamon heart, nut, jimmies. or some decoration in the middle. She made them at Christmas.
I've tried replicating it with no luck. Butter/Crisco/Half and Half etc. Hot cookie sheet, cold cookie sheet, cold dough....Too melty, too hard, too many pock marks etc.
