Personal Notes:
Story has it that Grandpa Russell made this entire recipe while Grandma Jean was at work. It makes about 10 dozen cookies, and Grandpa had cookies stacked everywhere around the kitchen at Dominick Drive. I usually make half the recipe for obvious reasons. Nahanni loves to make these cookies, as well as Grandpa!
