This recipe is from my Grandmother, Kathryn R. Willsey Hyde. As a little girl, I remember my grandmother making these and watching her knead the dough. They are so delicious! My mother used to make them just at Christmas time, and whenever I think of them, I think CHRISTMAS. They are especially fun to share during a cookie...
