I går bakte jeg førjulskaker. De heter Crisp Cookies. Moren min brukte å bake dem og hun kalte dem Mannfolk kaker. Faren min var ikke noe særlig glad i kaker, men disse likte han. Og de var også populære til en kaffekopp når noen av pappas fettere eller tremenninger stakk inom. Derfor fikk de navnet Mannfolk kaker. Jeg har også en teori om hvor oppskriften kom fra, det er en gammel oppskrift og den har jo opprinnelig engelsk navn. Mine besteforeldre bodde som mange andre fra den lille øya vår noen år i New York på begynnelsen av 1900 tallet. Så kanskje min bestemor hadde med seg oppskriften da hun kom tilbake? Men om denne teorien er bare min fantasi vet jeg ikke. RETTELSE: Jeg har fått greie på at opprinnelsen til disse kakene kom riktignok fra Amerika. Men det var en dame i nabolaget til Skjævestad, hvor moren min kommer fra, som hadde vært i Amerika. Hun hadde med seg denne oppskriften, og den ble populær og spredd i nabolaget. Disse kakene har også en annen historie, på 60 tallet sendte moren min inn denne oppskriften til Mor Hubro, en oppskriftside i Norsk Ukeblad og fikk den på trykk, og fikk 25 kr tror jeg det var. For noen få år siden så jeg igjen oppskriften i et annet ukeblad med en side hvor en kunne sende inn oppskrifter. Og innsenderen skrev at hun trodde oppskriften hadde stått i et ukeblad på 60 tallet! Så det er kaker med mange minner og mye historie. Og oppskriften den kommer her:
CRISP COOKIES
1 kopp smør
1 ts vaniljesukker
1/4 ts salt
2 kopper farin
1 1/4 kopp store havregryn
2 egg.
Rør alt dette sammen. Tilsett så
1 kopp rosiner
1 kopp kokosmasse
2 kopper hvetemel
2 ts bakepulver
1/2 ts natron.
Rør alt og sett med ts på bakepapirkledt plate. Beregn god plass, de flyter litt ut. Stek ved 180 grader i 10-12 minutter.
Yesterday I baked cookies for the time before Christmas. They are called Crisp Cookies. My mother used to bake them and she called them Men cookies. My father didn't like cakes or cookies much, but these cookies he liked. And they were also popular with a cup of coffee when my father's cousins (male) or second cousins dropped by. Therefor they got the name Men cookies. I also have a theory about where the recipe came from, it is an old recipe and the original name is English. My grandparents lived, like many others from our little island, in New York for some years at the early 1900. So maybe my grandmother brought the recipe with her when she came back to Norway? But if this theory is only my fantasy I don't know. CORRECTION: I've learned that the origin of these cakes came from America, though. But there was a lady in the neighborhood of Skjævestad, where my mother comes from, who had been in America. She brought this recipe with her, and it became popular and spread in the neighborhood..There is also another story about these cookies. At the 60's my mother sent the recipe to a weekly magazine which had a page for recipes from the readers. She got her recipe printed and got 25 Nkr paid for it! Some few years ago I saw the recipe in another magazine with this kind of page. And the contributor wrote that she thought the recipe came from a magazine back to the 60's! So for me it is cookies with many memories and histories.
And here is the recipe:
CRISP COOKIES
1 cup butter
1 teaspoon vanilla sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups sugar
1 1/4 cup slow cook rolled oats
2 eggs
Mix all this. Then add
1 cup raisins
1cup shredded coconut
2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Mix all well and drop by spoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets. Allow good space between them.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven, 180 Celsius degrees.

Takk for opskriften Marit, jeg skal prøve å lage den, skal ikke være vanskelig da?
SvarSlettFine votter også !
Hej! Dessa kakor måste jag prova att baka. De ser så goda ut.
SvarSlettVilka vackra vantar du stickat.
Kram Birgitta
Hei tante Marit! Denne oppskriften har blitt en godt innarbeidet tradiajon på Langøya også. Den må gjerne bakes i to omganger fordi den blir så fort borte ;-) Hyggelig å lese bloggen din (begge to! Papirdukkene dine var VELDIG populære da vi var små!)Hilsen Inger
