Family Story
These cookies are a labor of love and a family favorite that are the result of a Christmas cookie swap that my Mom participated in with her "girls" from work back in the 80's and 90's. The cookies were at first, just for the cookie swap, but as the years went by, my Mom would make and send to family as well. In her memory, I am sharing her secret recipe for all to enjoy!!
