These delicious cookies were a tradition during the holidays, They were part of the goodies served at Christmas time when I was growing up. This recipe is very similar to my grandmother's recipe. Much to my regret her cookie recipe was never written down. We have always had to make them from memory. This recipe though not hers is very close to my grandmothers. I have no picture to post until I make them this weekend. Enjoy.
