Personal Notes:
This old recipe from my Grandma Baker makes a big batch of cookies - perfect for a hungry brood. The glutenous recipe stored really well in a stone jar or similar cookie jar (hence the name) - these however, come out very soft and become softer in time. For a more flavourful cookie increase the nutmeg and vanilla to two teaspoons each.
