Butterfinger Cookies
They’ve been called jumbles, plunkets, cry babies, graham jakes, jolly boys, branbles, tangle breeches, and kinkawoodles–or cookies. Cooks from New England seemed bent on giving odd names to their cookies–if for no other reason than for fun. A cookie variation first appeared about 700 AD (unless you count the manna in the wilderness), but chocolate chip and peanut butter cookies didn’t appear until the 1920's and 1930's. There are literally thousands of cookie recipes available today.
