This recipe came from my mother, which probably means it came from Betty Crocker. (
Amazing how many recipies Betty stole from my mother as I look back in her recipe file!)
I have fond memories of rolling and cutting cookies with her and my brothers and sisters
that come to mind every time I make these cookies. |
