    Title: Henry Ford's Chocolate Chip Soybean Cookies
    Categories: Cookies, Desserts, Snacks
    Yield: 10 Dozen

    3 c Light brown sugar
    1 c Soy margarine
    4 lg Eggs
    3 c Cake or all-purpose flour
    1 c Soy flour
    1 ts Salt
    2 ts Baking soda
    2 tb Milk
    1 ts Vanilla
    2 c Crushed soybean nuts;
    - (roasted unsalted)
    4 c Semi-sweet chocolate chips

    Set oven @ 350ºF/175ºC.

    In large mixing bowl, cream brown sugar and margarine
    with electric mixer. Beat for 2 mins. Add eggs one at
    a time and cream until smooth consistency. Combine dry
    ingredients and add to mixture. Add milk and vanilla.

    if desired.

    Spray baking sheets with non-stick vegetable coating.
    Drop cookie batter onto sheets with a teaspoon. Bake
    for 8-10 minutes.

    Makes approximately 10 dozen soft cookies.

    This recipe was one of Henry Ford's favorite snacks. The
    recipe was found in Cooking For Henry, a cookbook by
    Henry Ford's personal party chef, Jan Willemse. In 1934,
    Mr. Ford requested Willemse experiment in cooking with
    soybeans, and the cookbook has an entire chapter
    dedicated to soybean recipes.

    Ford was a strong supporter of soybeans and saw the
    possibility for the use of soybeans in food, milk, ice
    cream, paint, plastics, and many other things before
    1930. In Ford's fast-growing automobile industry, and
    since, the soybean played a large part in the manufacte
    of commercial products.

    Henry Ford's new auto is offered to the public at a relatively

    black. Offering a four-cylinder engine, around 20 mpg, and a top speed
    of 40 mph, the Detroit automaker markets his car to America's burgeoning
    middle class.

    The Ford Model T is an automobile that was produced by the Ford Motor
    Company from October 1, 1908, to May 26, 1927.[15] It is generally
    regarded as the first mass-affordable automobile, which made car travel available to middle-class Americans. The relatively low price was partly
    the result of Ford's efficient fabrication, including assembly line
    production instead of individual handcrafting. It was mainly designed by
    three engineers, Joseph A. Galamb (the main-engineer), Eugene Farkas,
    and Childe Harold Wills. The Model T was colloquially known as the "Tin Lizzie", "Leaping Lena" or "flivver".

    The Ford Model T was named the most influential car of the 20th century
    in the 1999 Car of the Century competition, ahead of the BMC Mini,
    Citroën DS, and Volkswagen Beetle. Ford's Model T was successful not
    only because it provided inexpensive transportation on a massive scale,
    but also because the car signified innovation for the rising middle
    class and became a powerful symbol of the United States' age of
    modernization.
