What is it about the cowboy scenario that speaks to us from the days when we went to the movies on Saturday afternoon to see Roy Rogers, Gene Autry and of course, Randolph Scott? As I recall, the price of admission at our local theater was 35 cents.

We listened to The Lone Ranger on the radio and can’t seem to get “hi-o Silver…awayyyyyyy….out of our memories. My friend Mary shared her cookie recipe with me and now I’ll share it with you.

1 Cup Butter

1 Cup Sugar (White)

1 Cup Brown Sugar

2 Eggs

2 Cups Flour

1/2 t. Salt

1 t. Baking Soda

1 t. Baking Powder

1 t. Vanilla
