My wonderful aunt Jackie passed peacefully at about 11 this morning. This
is one of her recipes that we made all the time. If you like a truly chewy
cookie, this one's for you.

NOTES : Makes a soft, chewy cookie that freezes well. Freeze whatever
you're not going to eat within the next 48 hours, because they dry up
pretty fast. That's usually not a problem. ;-)

Ah Carol, I'm sorry to hear about your Aunt Jackie. I'm glad her
passing was peaceful.

Thanks for sharing her recipe. The other day, I was at the supermarket,
and needed some sour cream for fajitas. I put a big tub into my cart,
hesitated, and then added another, even though I really didn't need it.

So I'm glad to have the recipe and will give it a try this weekend. I
think we need some cookies around here (it was a tough week for my
8-year-old, who has just discovered that 3rd graders get a lot more
homework than 2nd graders!). Sounds like you could use some comfort
food, too.

Isn't that strange, I was just wondering this morning, why did I buy that
extra container of sour cream last week? Couldn't think why I did that,
now I know.

The women in my family have always been pretty pushy. That was my mom
forcing you to buy dairy products. LOL! Thanks for bringing some
happiness to my heavy heart. We're baking some of Jackie's cookies this
weekend, too.

Jackie and Mom are probably busy whipping up some of their famous homemade
dinner rolls, cinnamon rolls, and caramel rolls. And fry bread from the
leftovers. And on the Other Side, nothing is fattening!

Carol, feeling a tad better

Gosh Dams, I'm really sorry to hear that.

Meanwhile, I'll save your recipe and always think of 'special aunts'
whenever I see/make it. {{Hugs}}

Did I hear ?Caramel Rolls? I have this thing for caramel. I think your
aunt must have been a very special person with some great cooking ideas. If
you could pass on the Caramel Rolls recipe I would really appreciate it.

Sorry for your loss

I wish I could tell you how to make them. The actual recipe is just for
the dough itself. And when I've posted it in the past, droves of people
have wondered why any of us are still alive, because the dough contains
eggs, and it sits out overnight. I'll post it below, but I won't be
responsible of you drop dead from eating the rolls.

Jackie and I had this annual thing. Thanksgiving would roll around and I'd
call her to find out how to make the various rolls. Then we'd shoot the
breeze for awhile.

Based on my faulty memory, I would say start with a sweet yeast dough
(frozen would probably be just fine). Roll it out as thinly as you can
without creating holes. Sprinkle brown sugar over the dough. Distribute
dots of butter over the brown sugar. Add chopped nuts, if desired. Roll
the whole mess up and slice into pinwheels. Allow to rise, then bake at
375F for 25-30 minutes.

This is one of those things you just *know,* unfortunately. Seems to me
you'd put this on parchment paper nowadays. Then when the rolls are done,
flip the whole pan load over and the caramel from the bottom will now be on
the top and will ooze down through the rolls.

> Sorry for your loss

Thanks. It's starting to get better.

Your loss, but heaven's gain. It's fun to whip up stuff our loved ones loved.
Boy, these look good.

I'm so sorry that your Aunt Jackie has passed away. What a beautiful lady
she was, thanks for sharing her picture with us and her recipes too. Wish I
could have known her.

Thanks, and you're welcome. She raised four outstanding children (all in
their 50's now, but they're still the kids), all over-achievers. She and
my mom cooked and baked everything from scratch. I think that cake mixes
were their only transgressions. I wish you could have known her, too. I'm
glad she's not suffering anymore.
