Personal Notes:
These cookies are best frozen. All 5 Peterson kids remember that the first thing we would do when we got to Grandma Cummings house in Montezuma, Iowa, was run to her chest freezer in the breezeway and attack her cookies. These were our favorite of her cookies and she ALWAYS had them for us.
