Several years ago at our Young Women's Camp, we had an AMAZING camp cook! Melinda ran that kitchen so well, with well planned and delicious meals. She loved to cook, and learned how to make a reflector box oven - using a large cardboard box, lined with foil, with a thermometer stuck in the top, and a little window to peak in to check on the food being cooked. The heat source was a propane stove in the bottom, with a metal rack above it. Anyway - one afternoon I could smell the MOST delicious smell that came wafting through the camp - homemade cookies being baked! Who would have guessed you could bake cookies while camping? Needless to say, all in camp were soon drawn to the kitchen area by this wonderful smell and we all devoured the hot yummy cookies - I don't think I ever enjoyed a cookie more than that day! This is the delicious cookie recipe she used. It has been a favorite ever since. Thanks Melinda!!
I thought this was a joke, but there really is "Real Margarine" and it was only $.67!
Melinda swears by it for cookies.
