Join us for a cookie extravaganza as we showcase historical cookie cutters and presses alongside three centuries of cookie recipes from the Janice Bluestein Longone Culinary Archive (JLBCA). From Hannah Glasse’s 18th century jumbles to 20th century bar cookies from the Pillsbury Bake-off, bring your camera and collect new recipes to try at home! And after a taste of history, stay a little longer to enjoy some cookies and cocoa!  

Join us (on the 6th floor of Hatcher) for Third Thursdays at the Library, a themed monthly open house where we share materials from our collections.

While you’re here, pick up a Third Thursday Passport and collect a stamp from each of the three Third Thursday Open Houses — the Clark Library, International Studies, and the Special Collections Research Center — to win a prize!

Cookie presses and cutters from the Winchester Cookie Cutter Collection, University of Michigan Library (Special Collections Research Center, Janice Bluestein Longone Culinary Archive). Gift of Mark Winchester on behalf of Bruce Winchester.
