I have been making these yummy treats since I was a teenager. I loved looking through my mom's old Betty Crocker cookbook, the color photos of all those cookies, cakes and other foods delighted me. We used to make these only around Christmas. Now they are legal any time of year !! They are a great cookie to make if you have no eggs in your fridge and you owe your daughter a batch of cookies.
