1970s Chocolate Chip Cookies

If you love old-fashioned cookies with crisp edges, chewy centers, and plenty of chocolate chips, this 1970s Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe is one you’ll want to save.

It’s an old family-style recipe that proves you don’t always need butter to make an incredible chocolate chip cookie.

What makes these cookies so special is their texture.

Depending on how long you bake them, you can pull them from the oven while they're still soft and chewy or let them go a little longer for a wonderfully crisp, crunchy cookie.

This is the kind of vintage recipe that deserves to be brought back. It’s simple, nostalgic, economical, and absolutely delicious.

Chocolate chips are famous, and there are hundreds of recipes on the internet, but if you want softer, bakery-style cookies, you may want to try Bakery Style Chocolate Chips soft and gooey, or our Chocolate Chip Soft Pudding Cookie recipe.

I've been making this recipe since I was 11 years old, and it was originally in a Baker's General Foods free pamphlet, my favorite recipe ever since the 1970s.

Glazed Salmon with Apricot, Pineapple and Orange

If you’re looking for an easy salmon dinner that feels a little special without a lot of work, this Glazed Salmon with Apricot, Pineapple and Orange is a perfect choice.

Tender salmon fillets are coated with a bright, fruity glaze made with apricot-pineapple preserves, fresh orange zest, soy sauce, garlic, and a splash of vinegar.

The result is a delicious balance of sweet, tangy, savory, and just a touch spicy.

The glaze caramelizes beautifully as the salmon cooks, creating a glossy finish and plenty of flavor in every bite.

It’s simple enough for a weeknight dinner but pretty enough to serve when company comes over.

Triple Berry Brown Betty

There is something wonderfully nostalgic about a Brown Betty. It is simple, rustic, comforting, and the kind of dessert that makes your kitchen smell like something special is baking.

This Triple Berry Brown Betty takes that old-fashioned favorite and fills it with three juicy berries—blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries—then layers them with buttery, sweetened breadcrumbs that turn golden and delicious in the oven.

Every spoonful has a little bit of everything: tender fruit, sweet berry juices, buttery crumbs, and just enough cinnamon to make it taste warm and cozy. It is the perfect dessert when you want something homemade without the fuss of making a pie crust.

What I especially love about a Brown Betty is how easy it is to change.

You can use fresh berries when they are in season or reach into the freezer for a quick dessert any time of year.

Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and let it melt into all those delicious berry juices. It is an old-fashioned dessert that still feels right at home on today's table.
