Personal Notes:
Granny Allen used to be famous for these wonderful cookies!! She called them "Tea Cakes". She never used a recipe. When she made these, she would pull out her flour bowl, make a little well in the middle, put in her ingredients one at a time and start woeking them into her fllour. She always made pig tails for us to eat. Grandaddy esp loved the pig tails!!
