This has been one of our favourite family recipes since 1968 or so. It is simple, great tasting, and nice looking for any cookie tray. -
This recipe has been in my family for once than I have been alive. I got my great grandmother's recipe boxes when she passed and this is a cherished recipe in her own handwriting. I am the only one in the family who makes it. Will be handed down to my kids. -
My mother made this recipe for years and its always been a fav...when I moved to NYC I made it for my DH's co-workers and they swear that it's better than the rainbow Italian cookies in some of the bakeries here. Thanks I'll be making these every year. -
