School children in Elyria, Ohio are mourning the demise of a 40-year tradition – the loss of their beloved pink cookie. The fabled cookie, long served in local school cafeterias, was done in by a pound of butter, six cups of powdered sugar and the Obama administration’s food police.
The origin of the pink cookie is something of folklore in this town just to the west of Cleveland. It was first made by Jean Gawlik, the school district’s longtime food production manager. The foundation of the cookie came from a family recipe she got from her mother.
“It’s a delicious, delicious confection,” said Higgins. “Everyone loves it.”
Reading the recipe along could result in a sugar rush: butter, sour cream, powered sugar, Crisco,granulated sugar.
“It’s a homemade sour cream cake cookie,” Higgins said. “The reason people fell in love with it – it has just the right amount of sweetness. It’s very cakey and rich and it’s got this really light sweet pink frosting on the top.”
