These cherished cookies were creations of Grandma Dorothy, my dear friend Sara's Mother. Sara had a cabin a few doors down from my cabin and her Mother would bring these cookies to the cabin on most occasions, not just Christmas. Everyone LOVED these cookies and I have the recipe to share with you!! Thank you Grandma Dorothy (I call her DOT).
