Personal Notes:
Mom used to always tell Grandma Howell making ammonia cookies sounded very intriguing if not appetizing. One day when I was in Jeffries Drugs in St Clairsville, I heard a woman order some, so I too had to get some and tell Mom of my find. This led to her having to beat the bushes for Grandma's recipe. When she finally came across that, it called for 10 cents worth of ammonium 10 cents worth of lemon oil. Since the recipe was from 1945, we weren't sure of how much that was, but after some investigating, we found out the correct amounts. Mom still didn't think they were as good as she remembered Grandma Howells being, but was it?
