Notes: This recipe is from my Mom's mother. It is very very old and has been passed from generation to generation. It was always served only at Christmas time which seemed to make these cookies even more special. Grandma usually had them in shapes of stars, rectangles and clovers. The cousins would always eat as many as we could without getting caught!
