I was given this recipe many years ago ... back in 1978 from a patient I took care of in Milwaukee. At Christmas her family had brought in huge trays of cookies. On that tray were these and they were my favorite. She gave me the recipe which was written in weight and was huge. I transcribbed the recipe to measurements and made it much smaller. I have made these every Christmas since 1978 and they have become a traditional Christmas cookie for our family.

11*** NOTE: I have written the recipe exactly as given to me. Years ago I mixed these with my hands! Today I use my food processor to combine the dry ingredients with crisco. Using the pulse button I combine like I do for pie crust. I then place these ingredients in my large kitchen aid mixer bowl. I then mix on low speed until combined.
