Another old fashioned recipe and an old fashioned cookie, that many families just like ours make every single year. As a matter of fact, my oldest daughter is making these this year to give to some of her college professor's as a small Christmas gift.
This recipe is in my 1964 Betty Crocker Cooky Book - which was handed down to me from my father-in-law. My husbands parents had received it as a gift in December of 1964 and it's been a favorite of mine since I was lucky enough to receive it.
