The Farmer Family Cookbook

Caramel Twix Bars - Jenny Garrett

Jenny entered these cookies in the 2015 Farmer Family Reunion Cookie Contest...and won! The uncles have a terrible job each year, sampling and judging all the cookies at the reunions. It's a tough job but they do it without complaint!

Almond Joys - Jenny Garrett

BYU Mint Brownies - Marilyn Farmer

These are the brownies that were made in the bakery where Uncle John, Uncle Gary, Aunt Jennifer, and Uncle Walter worked on BYU Campus.

Cinnamon Roll Cookies - Allison Farmer

Easter Story Cookies - Jennifer Crites

This is a unique way to share the story of the death and resurrection of Christ the night before Easter Sunday.

Gingerbread Man Cookies - Jennifer Crites

Every Christmas season we honor Grandpa Wold by eating whipped cream and gingerbread! He loved whipped cream and used gingerbread as the vehicle to eat it. We make cookies and use whipped cream as a dip. It wouldn't be Christmas without biting heads and feet off the gingerbread men.

Almond Butter Crunch - Dorothy Farmer

Jennifer Crites: This is the toffee that I make for family gatherings and for Debbie at Christmas! I sent her a Christmas tin of toffee many years ago and she has faithfully sent back the empty tin year after year for refills!

Strawberry Chocolate Cookies - Alice Johnson

Janette Johnson: When Alli was 3 1/2 years old she loved creating recipes. She started her own "My Family Recipes" cookbook. I am kicking myself for not saving all of them...but I did save a few. Here is one using some of her favorite ingredients. I was amazed that she got many of the right kind of ingredients, even though the proportions are a bit off. I just wrote what she told me.

Grandma Allen's Caramels - Marilyn Farmer

My mom's caramels were a big tradition every Christmas. We all looked forward to them. I learned to make them and wrap them in wax paper like a Christmas gift. I now make caramels for my brothers and sister. My brother Richard said, "I appreciate you sending us the caramels for Christmas. It reminds me of mother."

Caramel Bars - Jennifer Crites
