"As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy, and to make plans."--Ernest Hemingway

Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This was Grandmother Berreth's (Roland's mother's) recipe. My mother made this often at Christmas when I was growing up. She would coat the cookies in powdered sugar and put them loose in a drawer. I remember opening that drawer and eating those cookies until Easter. Jaci used to like it when Grandma Vera brought these when she came to visit.
