our family christmas cookies
(2 ratings)
This is my grandaughter making her own cookies at my house. I found this rcipe in the local news paper when I lived in Ohio over 40 years ago and still make this same recipe every year. My daughter came into the room and cried when she saw her daughter making these. Brought back memories for her and how good they taste. They took one plate full home for them and another plate for Sunday School.
