Recipe memoirs are fun to share. I wrote one about my Grandmother Jewett and her Quick Chocolate Cookies. Grandmother Jewett used to pick up my cousins Clay and Kurt after school in Sonoita, AZ, in her Chevy Coupe, and take them to choir practice at the Patagonia Methodist Church, about 12 miles away. Grandmother Jewett was the church choir director and accompanist. The boys were allowed to each have just one cookie when they got off the bus. They always tried to pick the biggest one in the tin. The rest of the cookies were for the choir. I made the cookies for Clay and his partner, Joyce Bilodea, when they came to visit. Clay said they were true to the taste he remembered from childhood.
