Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
When Grandma was young, her family had a woman "Mrs. Goldie" that was a mother's helper to Grandma Madden.
Mrs. Goldie was Scottish and she taught Grandma how to make these cookies.
Grandma made them every year at Christmas and has only taught a few people how to make them.
