This cookie is loved by anyone who tastes it . especially my Niece Margaret, she looks forward to them every holiday season. This recipe was given to me by my friend Irene Prignano, who always shared her recipes, she was a happy go lucky lady, who in 2005 died of breast cancer,I remember her a lot especially every time I make that cookie I think of her.
