Notes: These date pinwheels and Walnut Crescents are the two cookies of our childhood. Mom would bake them a couple of weeks before Christmas and "hide" them in the attic, where my brothers were quite adept at ferreting them out without opening the box.
One recipe makes about 60 cookies.
As we got older, we all helped to bake the Christmas
Cookies. These always came first and anything new was
added as time permitted.
