My family’s ancestral cracker cookie recipe, taken verbatim from an Email from my mom:

Cracker Cookies

Don was just attacked by a frozen chicken.

42 soda crackers
1 C brown sugar
1 C butter
6 oz. choc. chips
6 oz butterscotch chips
Chopped nuts – Like a handful or so

Anyway it says 42 soda crackers, but I never counted and you have to make ‘em fit your pan (pan with sides)
It says buttered jelly roll pan, but we have cookie sheets. And you arrange the crackers and have to break some.
Heat butter and br. sugar, boil 3 minutes. Pour over crackers and bake for 5 min. at 350.
Put chips on hot crackers and WAIT a minute til you can spread ‘em out-then sprinkle with nuts.

Now the old recipe says remove from pan immediately to wax paper, but a different one says cool 1 hour in pan then remove.  You have less waste with the new method I think. And it seems to work fairly well. I also think we should try lining the pan with foil maybe & see if we can get it off the foil or not. Cleaning the pan is a bitch without a dog washer.
