Personal Notes:
I used to hate these as a kid but now they just taste like Christmas to me. I make them every year because they were my mom's favorite. The recipe card is written in mom's hand, she passed away in 2003 at the age of 81. I chuckled when I noticed she spelled cinnamon as cincinnamon...a mistake I keep making myself as I write this cookbook. I know why too, we are unconsciously spelling Cincinnati as we begin to write the cin part. :)
