Hi, Blue. As you can see in the intro, these cookies were made by the woman who ran the Blaine House in Augusta, Maine. She borrowed it from Betty Crocker. After an extensive search (and a search of the original Betty Crocker cookbook) we have no answer as to who Ethel is. Most likely she was someone’s mother, grandmother, or aunt and she made fabulous sugar cookies.
