Tracy included this cookie recipe in the 1998 edition of the family recipe collection. I must be honest. This cookie wasn’t one of my favorites. Maybe it’s because they seemed too dry to me. Not sure if that’s accurate anymore as it’s been so long since I had one. It also occurs to me that you could take care of the dryness by drizzling some rum or bourbon on them.

Growing up in Wisconsin, this was one of my favorite meals. It’s just good comfort food.
After I was out on my own, I continued to make it from time to time. It’s been many years since I last made this so it was wonderful to have all the memories come flooding back as I was posting this recipe.
This recipe is part of the 1998 collection. Again, thank you, Tracy, for doing this for our family.

This recipe was the first one listed in the first edition of the Tracy’s Christmas cookbook. So began an annual tradition that celebrated 20-years of recipes in 2018.
I have no idea the origin of this recipe. This recipe has been in our family for years as I remember from my youngest years Mom making them. The photo I used was the best representation of these treats.
Many thanks to my sister, Tracy, for starting this and shepparding it through all the years!

In the first edition of the family recipe collection in 1998, Tracy put in her most loved recipes from our childhood. This is another good one that I continued to make after heading out on my own.
Like the Texas Hash, I made this for several years as my own family was growing but it’s been several years since I last made this one. I may have to give it a go in the near future.

TIPS: The black bean mixture needs to be refrigerated for at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours prior to cooking. When forming the patties, it is important to pack them firmly together. Our favorite canned black beans are Bush’s Best. Serve the burgers with your favorite toppings or with our Chipotle Mayonnaise.
