This recipe is one that was given to me by my mother. It was given to her by a good friend of hers and Mother tried them out one Christmas. Well, everyone loved them and the recipe has since passed around and been copied several times. It has now become a Christmas staple in our family.
Although this cookie was born at our house one Christmas season it does not have to be just for the holidays. Bake them anytime, they will be eaten.
This recipe makes about 4 dozen cookies which also make them great for fund raisers and bake sales as well as for large gatherings at home or at the office. As a matter of fact, my daughter is getting married next weekend and we are having a reception till seven, then a big open party and I am going to make a couple of batches for the party. I think I’ll take the recipe card, I know someone will ask for it. Enjoy!
