As egg prices hit unprecedented highs, many are seeking alternatives, resulting in a surge in demand for eggless recipes and substitutes. One solution is the vintage "poor man's cookies," a recipe from the Great Depression era designed for families facing ingredient shortages. This article explores the author's attempt to bake these cookies, which, despite requiring some less common ingredients, turned out deliciously. The approach to cooking during economic crises highlights creativity and resilience, offering valuable insights for today’s egg-constrained bakers.
I found this recipe while searching for dairy-free and egg-free recipes. Like "Depression cake," this cookie recipe was developed in the '30s when the average family had limited access to ingredients.
It's official: Eggs are more expensive than they've ever been, and it's not only because of the bird flu. Like many other people, I've been trying to cut back on my egg consumption.
