My husband has been making this cookie for Christmas for over 20yrs and we don't remember where we got the recipe from.This morning he is in a panic because his recipe card is so faded he can't see how much flour to use - so I did a search and here it is! Thanks for saving the day (morning)! Happy Holidays!!

I found this recipe in the Oakland Press newspaper in the 70's and it became a favorite for my mother. She loved these cookies and asked for them often. I finally gave her the recipe to make them, she made them often. Over the years I've moved and lost many recipes. I am so thrilled to have found the exact recipe on here. This site is wonderful! Great cookie.. and happy to be able to make them again.
