A community for sharing favorite vintage and nostalgic recipes from years past. The goal of this community is to preserve our favorite dishes and share them with the world so that they don't go extinct just because they're not in the culinary zeitgeist.

Please tag your recipe titles with [RECIPE]. Be sure to include the dish name and it’s creator (person or business) in the title for easier searching. Please include the date the recipe was published, if possible.

Sharing a video? Tag it with [VIDEO].

All requests should be tagged with [REQUEST]. Before you post, make sure someone hasn’t already requested the same recipe!

No recipe blog spam! You can link to a personal blog in the comments, but please include the recipe itself in your post. Any post URLs should point to the actual recipe (website, image host, etc.) and not just serve as an advertisement to drive up clicks for your site.

We here in Vintage Recipes believe that information should be freely available. We learn by observing and analyzing what has come before. We do not believe in secrets, and we do not believe that old methods should be forgotten.

Tang cookies, 1969

3/4 cup tang powder
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
2/3 cup vegetable oil
2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt

Mix tang powder, sugar, eggs, and vegetable oil in a bowl. In another bowl sift flour, baking powder, and salt. Combine wet and dry mixtures.
Scoop into balls and place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Bake at 350°F for 12 to 15 minutes.

There are variations of the recipe that add ~1-1/2 cups of vanilla baking chips to create a creamsicle cookie. I personally would try adding 1 tsp vanilla extract.

It should be a crime to post a video of a recipe without a written copy. 😑

I’m intrigued enough to give them a taste but not intrigued enough to actually make them.

Is Tang still sold?

Pretty sure it is. It’s been a while but I used to really enjoy a Tangueray (Tanqueray & Tang ala Gin & Juice, if it wasn’t obvious)
