When my neice Dee and I were young (well I was Young she was very small) my mother use to bake these Tea Cakes. I can still close my eyes and smell the aroma in the house. It became a Christmas Tridation for us to help her make these devine cookies I can remember Dee with flour on her little face and sweet little hands.Now it is a tradition for me and my grandchildren.

    If you bake these cookies 10 min. the will be a little hard . I like to bake a few like that for my husband and I to soak in our coffee. My children and grandchildren love them chewy. Jim's (my Husband)favorite way is hot out of the oven.
