Hello Donald,
Sorry, no luck with this recipe. There are quite a few requests for it on
Internet message boards, and no one has had any success.

Subject: Need sticky pie recipe
Hello
I am looking for a recipe that we always called sticky pie. My Grandma used to make
it at Christmas time and a few years it was what I would request for my gift from
her a pie for myself.
I had the recipe for a while but have since lost it.
I think it was mostly sugar white and brown and some molasses for the filling.
The filling was only about a half inch thick and it was made in a regular pie crust.
I always describe it as a type of homemade caramel pie.
Thanks John
Hello John,
I can't find but two "sticky pie" recipes, and they are below. Your description sounds
possibly like a "shoo-fly pie". See the third recipe.
Phaed

13-inch greased pan. Mix together cream cheese, 2 eggs and 10x

Subject: Cranberry Vermouth Cookies
Phaedrus,
I am searching for a Cranberry Cookie recipe my mother used to make.
It involved cooking fresh cranberries on the stove before adding them
to the dough. The "secret" ingredient is vermouth! The cookies were
rolled into balls and dipped in sugar before baking.
Would be eternally grateful for anything you find!
Lori
Hi Lori,
Sorry, I could not find a cranberry cookies recipe with vermouth.
Phaed
Hi, I was looking far and long on the internet for this recipe. My mom had given it to me years ago, and I had lost it.
I noticed that someone else had been searching for the recipe, so when I found it, I thought I would submitt it to you.
These are some of the best Christmas cookies ever, and it's a pity they cannot be found anywhere!
Vermouth Cranberry Cookies
1/2 C soft shortening
1/2 C soft butter
1 1/2 C sugar
3 C flour
2 eggs unbeaten
1 tsp double acting baking powder
1 tsp cream of tarter
1 1/2 C walnuts, finely chopped
1 C cranberries, halved
1/4 C Vermouth, dry
Preheat oven to 400
Cream together shortening, butter and sugar.
Beat in eggs one at a time.
In seperate bowl sift together flour, baking powder and tarter
Add chopped nuts and berries and stir together until well coated with flour
Stir in creamed ingrediants, alternating with vermouth
Cover and leave in fridge at least 8 hrs.
Form into 1 inch balls, roll in sugar, and place on greased cookie sheet 2 in apart
Bake 10 min
Thanks! Melissa

Phaed,
Oh my gosh Oh my gosh Oh my gosh!!!!
I cannot BELIEVE someone had this and took the time to send it to you! This is absolutely the recipe!!
I know it had the chopped nuts and used shortening as well as butter. I am going to make a batch of these tonight and surprise my mother.
You've made my Christmas!!

Hi Dr
I've searched the net and your site for my favorite Aussie biscuit recipe,
Tim Tams to no avail. Can you help?
Chy
Hello Chy,
Sorry, no luck. This biscuit is a commercial product, and Arnott's Biscuits
certainly isn't going to share a recipe for them.
Neither does there appear to be a copycat recipe anywhere for making a home version.
