This is the same recipe that I've used for 35 years. It is the absolute BEST! I think it is the cinnamon that does it. Makes me hungry just thinking about it!

I live in to Jacksonville, FL with my husband, 2 daughters (17 and 11), 4 cats, and 2 dogs. My favorite things to make are cookies/bars and pound cakes. I have had a great time cooking since discovering Recipezaar January 2002. This is a picture of my youngest cat, Lily. She is my sweet sweet little baby.
