Miller & Paine Crumb Cookies
Miller & Pain was one of the leading clothing and retail stores in our area. The store is now gone but what great memories I have of it. This is an old cookie recipe from the old Miller & Paine bakery. They sold these Crumb Cookies there and the recipe leaked out after they closed. It’s a great recipe to use up all those extra cake pieces or left over cookies. It’s a spice cookie so would be great for a Fall flavor. I’ll print it as it was written. It calls for margarine but I’m sure you could use butter or Crisco.
