This recipe is from my grandmother, and I believe it's the original cookie recipe that used to come written on the Special K boxes.
1 cup corn syrup
1 cup sugar
1 cup peanut butter
6 cups Special K cereal
Put your cereal in a large bowl, and lay out a large sheet of waxed paper.
Bring corn syrup and sugar to a boil until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and mix in peanut butter.
Pour over cereal and mix well. Spoon cereal into cookies on wax paper and cool.
Substitute whatever cereal you like.

2 cups of apples, pears, stone fruits, and/or berries—fresh, canned, or frozen
¼ cup honey
1 ¼ cup water, fruit juice, or a combination
2 Tbsp flour
2 eggs
½ cup applesauce
1 ¾ cup flour
2 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
¾ cup milk or nut milk
½ cup honey
Preheat oven to 350° F.
If using canned fruit, drain the liquid. Use the liquid to partially replace the water, if desired. Place fruit in a buttered 9×13” pan.
Place water in a small saucepan. Add ¼ cup honey to taste and stir in the 2 Tbsp flour. Bring to a boil and simmer for 1 minute. Pour over the fruit and set in the oven.
Beat together eggs, applesauce, and ½ cup honey.
Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Add in 3 alterations with the milk to the egg mixture. Pour over the fruit and bake for 35-45 minutes.

I have no idea if they are actually Canadian; that's just what they're called.
1 cup dark molasses
¼ cup packed brown sugar
1 tsp vinegar
2 1/3 cups flour
2 Tbsp fresh grated ginger root
2 tsp baking soda
1 egg
½ tsp salt
Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease cookie sheets.
In a large bowl, stir together the molasses, brown sugar, vinegar, and egg.
In another bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, ginger and salt, then add to molasses mixture. Mix until well blended.
The dough is very sticky, so keep your hands wet with water to roll the dough into little balls.
Place balls on cookie sheets, about 2 inches apart. They spread a lot while baking. Bake until edges are golden, about 8-11 minutes. They should be kind of gooey still but noticeably cooked. Let cool on pans for 5 minutes before removing, they use this time to set/finish cooking.

1 cup milk
2 Tbsp butter
½ tsp salt
½ cup sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 Tbsp yeast
1 tsp sugar
¼ cup lukewarm water (110 degrees)
4 to 4½ cups flour
3 Tbsp melted butter
1 Tbsp orange zest
Sauce:
1 cup orange juice
¼ cup sugar
1 Tbsp cornstarch
Heat milk with butter, salt and ¼ cup of the sugar. Heat until butter melts, but do not boil. Let cool to lukewarm. Whisk in egg and vanilla.
Dissolve yeast in water with 1 tsp sugar. Combine 3½ cups of flour with yeast mixture and milk mixture, stirring to form dough. Turn dough onto lightly floured board. Spread a thin layer of butter inside the bowl.
Knead dough about 8 minutes until smooth and resistant, adding flour if necessary.
Return to bowl. Cover and place in warm place to rise until double in size, 1 to 2 hours.
Punch down dough. Roll out on lightly floured board to a large rectangle about ½” thick. Brush with melted butter. Mix ¼ cup sugar with orange zest and sprinkle on.
Roll dough like jelly roll. Use a sharp knife to cut thick slices to make the rolls. Place in a greased cake pan.
Mix together the sauce ingredients and pour over the rolls. Cover and let rise in warm place until nearly doubled in size.
Heat oven to 325° F. Bake rolls 45 minutes, until light golden brown.

½ cup sugar
½ cup maple syrup or corn syrup
½ cup butter
½ Tbsp vinegar
1 egg
1 tsp ground black pepper
½ tsp ground allspice
½ tsp ground ginger
½ tsp ground nutmeg
½ tsp baking soda
2 ½ cups flour
Cook the sugar, maple/corn syrup, butter and vinegar in a pot over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the butter is melted and it boils. Pour into a bowl and chill down to room temperature. Beat in all the other ingredients. It will make a smooth paste.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and freeze for 20 minutes or chill longer. It rolls out much easier when it is hard/cold.
Preheat oven to 350° F, and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
On a floured surface, roll the dough to about ¼” thick, then cut out shapes. Place them in the baking sheet with about 1” in between, because they do expand a little.
Bake for 7 minutes. (If they are thicker, or the pan is too crowded, they will require a few more minutes.) They should be slightly golden brown around the edges and look puffed up. Let them repose on the baking sheet until they are relaxed and more cool, then transfer cookies to a cooling rack. They should be thin and hard enough to snap, but slightly chewy when eating.
Makes about 36 cookies.
