  11. Since I have received several requests for this recipe (which I've never
  12. made, but have in several old cookbooks), I decided to post it.  According
  13. to the people requesting it, "these are cookies grandmas used to make and
  14. are delicious."  Just quoting. Think I'll try them too.

  16. This particular recipe is from the Farm Journal Homemade Cookies cookbook.
