Today’s handwritten recipe card features cheese and butter, two of my favorite things. Although called cheese cookies, the vintage recipe is essentially a savory shortbread flavored with cheese and is given a kick with a bit of red pepper.
Handwritten recipe cards are one of my favorite things. I believe heirloom family recipes should be preserved in this increasingly digital world. I’m adding my own handwritten and vintage recipes to the site, with an online collection of nearly 100.
This handwritten recipe collection includes souffles, salads, cakes, pies, cookies, puddings, and more! Some of the vintage recipes aren’t recipe cards but instead written on the backs of envelopes or receipts. Full of food history, I hope you’ll cherish these recipes too.
