My mother always made these cookies and when I was 10 I wrote the recipe down on a 3 by 5 card and have been making these cookies for 50 years, they never last long. I have tried altering ingredients over the years but they are never the same, and everyone complains. I still have my original card, it is yellow, faded and covered with spill stains. My mom always took the cookies out of the oven and placed them on a clean cotton dish towel to cool, if she had it she put them on wax paper and that is what I still prefer to do today. Thanks Mom
