The other staple of must do cookies when I was growing up. All four generations in the kitchen. I am making them today (when i posted this) in honour of their memories as I am the last of the family to have made them every year up until the oldest two passed way when I was 13. I will use the same cookie board, cutters, one of the remaining trays & cooling racks from when I was a child. I do not have a clue where the name came from. The other recipes on that page are Mary Borneman Cookies & Setty Cookies so perhaps a name of a friend. It is in my mom's handwriting.
