I grew up with these cookies. My Mom called them something else but I have searched high & low for these. Thank you for letting me find my childhood!!!! They are easy & very little sugar.

<p>I was originally born and raised in Baltimore, Md. I joined the U.S. Air Force in 1960 and retired from the USAF in 1982. I was a weatherman while in the service. I am now totally retired and love to cook. My passions are my Wife, children (3) my 5 Grandchildren and my Great Granddaughter and of course any sports, especially football. My wife & I enjoy traveling. My pet peeves are Semi Truckers who take multiple miles to pass another semi and people who talk on the phone while driving.</p>
