Drop Cookie Recipes

Homemade Cookie Recipes From Grandma


Grandma's vintage drop cookie recipes are easy to make. They are called drop cookies because they're made from a fairly soft cookie dough that's dropped by spoonfuls onto a greased cookie sheet and baked.

These old-fashioned cookies are made from all-natural, wholesome ingredients, and they taste absolutely delicious. Everybody loves them.
