Notes: These were perhaps my favorite cookies that mom(June) made at Christmas. Don't be afraid of the fruits and peels sounding like fruit cake because these cookies do not. They are so pretty with a dollop of red or green frosting in the middle and the walnut. Think they may be of Greek origin.
Usually we made them in the shape of a circle or a star.
