My fondest memory of this cookie is Christmas' as a child. My mom baked from morning till way into the evening during the holidays. Every time I make these I think of her counter filled with all types of cookies, breads, candy and as I grew up it became our tradition together to bake. She is 80 and is still baking and blessings...
