Personal Notes:
I got his out of a Christmas book my sister Karla sent me one year when Amy and Kyle were very little and we lived in British Columbia. I have made several things out of it especially the soap and our advent Christmas tree which we still use more than 30 years later. These cookies are a favourite every year and my "go to" take cookies to share.
