GAIL'S CHRISTMAS COOKIES
This is from Gail's grandmother Zick, who came from Germany when she was 14. She was born in the 1880's. It has become one of our family traditions, and frequently a favorite Christmas present.

t-s@yahoo.comI'm not a big fan of cranberries, but I really enjoyed these cookies. The cranberries add a nice tartness that balances out the sweetness of the cookies.
