Peanut Cookies and Frozen Vanilla Custard recipes from 1937 newspaper

Hello all. I found these two recipes (and a couple of others I am trying to salvage) in a newspaper called The Daily Home News published here in New Jersey. They were submitted by a Mrs. Alexander George on 7 May 1937. I thought you folks, especially any recipe collectors here, might be interested in them.

Peanut Cookies

Ingredients

• 3 egg yolks
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2/3 cup chopped roasted peanuts
• 1 cup flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 3 egg whites, beaten

Directions

1. Beat yolk and sugar together
2. Add rest of ingredients and mix lightly
3. Pour into a shallow pan lined with wax paper
4. Bake 25 minutes in a moderate oven.
5. Cut in bars while warm and roll in granulated sugar.

Note: I have not made these yet, but I believe 'moderate oven' should be right around 350-375F. Your oven may vary.

Frozen Vanilla Custard

Ingredients

• 6 egg yolks
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 4 cups milk

Directions

1. Beat the yolks.
2. Add flour, sugar, and salt.
3. Cook mixture in double boiler until it thickens slightly, stirring frequently.
4. Cool.
5. Add rest of ingredients and freeze until stiff.

There we are. I hope you folks find them interesting, and enjoy trying them.
