I think I may have the recipe for the one type of cookie (my mom's mother made them) but not for the other one (that my dad's mother made).
Sad. I watched something on TV the other day - when asked, most chefs say that if they were to choose their "last meal," it would to be an old recipe a mother, grandmother, etc used to make. They all had specific dishes, but only some of them knew how to make that dish. They discussed the fact that our evolving culture is losing that, given that cooking traditional meals (and/or teaching children how to cook specific dishes) is fading.
My favorite cookie: Nabisco pinwheels.

Pinwheels are disgusting. And in my head they don't qualify as a cookie.
