Ammonia Cookies image

WHEN LOOKING THROUGH A COOKBOOK OF OLD WRITTEN RECIPES FROM MY HUSBANDS FAMILY, WE CAME ACROSS AMMONIA COOKIES. ALL I COULD THINK OF IS GROSS AND WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE PEOPLE THINKING USING AMMONIA. WOULDN'T THAT MAKE A PERSON SICK? WHAT I DIDN'T REALIZE IS THAT AMMONIA CARBONATE IS A BAKERS INGREDIENT. I HAVE NEVER MADE...

These cookies were a bit too crumbly for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I'll try chilling the dough for longer next time.

I'm not a huge fan of cookies, but these were actually really good. They were chewy and chocolatey, and the glaze was the perfect finishing touch.

These cookies were a disappointment. They were dry and crumbly, and the glaze was too thick and sweet.
