Personal Notes:
When Diane found this recipe among her belongings it was noted in Aunt Sweet's handwriting: cook for children when they were good and done their chores. Diane remembers, since Aunt Sweet worked she would bake these cookies on Saturday, so that the Diane and her sister Clarice would have something to eat on week days when they came home from school.
