Mother Makes Sugar Cookies
Barbara Ann Hess Hershey Becker shows daughters how her mother taught her to make cookies. The aluminum dishpan is the actual one her mother used in the 1930's -- before electric mixers. Grandma Hess learned the art from her mother, Great Grandma Herr.
Grandma Hess made dozens of cookies -- both molasses and sugar cookies--for Tuesday and Friday markets at Central Market, Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Mother guesses that her mother baked an average of 50 dozen cookies in her coal-fired cook stove. She did this for 31 years, until her sudden death in 1953.
