Notes: Grandma liked to send these to me when I was in college at the University of Illinois back in the 1980's. My friends would follow me back to my room when they saw I had a care package to make sure they received their share of the goodies. Me... while I hoped for some wonderful prepackaged treat, I was also afraid that Madge had baked me... those hard as a rock, funny looking cookies. They came carefully packaged in a Pringles container, but they were not edible. When even my college buddies couldn't choke them down, we tried feeding them to the pigeons outside my window. No pigeon or squirrel would eat those cookies and I had to stare out the window at those cookies on the roof... for an entire semester. I didn't realize those cookies had a name until just before I got married and Madge sent me a bunch of her recipes. She asked if I remembered those cookies... how could I forget? She said... "Why, I used to use any kind of leftover cereal and throw that right in and bake it into cookies. Those are Accident Cookies." True story. -Stephanie Fahey
