One of my favorite times when I was a kid was spending the night with my paternal grandmother, Lorah Nell Green. I called her Mammy. But it was a really good night when we would make Forgotten Cookies and left them in the oven over night! I was always amazed how they would "cook" with the oven off! Now, they are favorites of my grown children!
