Personal Notes:
Jane's recipes are always more than a little vague, so if you have any questions, figure it out on your own or call her. The 10 minutes of baking is Lisa's guesstimate; Jane's recipe doesn't mention how big the cookies should be or how long they should spend in the oven.

This is one of Bob's favorite Christmas cookies.
