Personal Notes:
I love these cookies!! I know you shouldn't, but I have been known to eat a roll straight out of the freezer over a week or so time! Don't tell mom...
Grandma evidently got this recipe from the Kansas Farmer magazine and it became a family favorite of ours. One year I made MANY recipes of this and gave it to friends for a Christmas gift. Good cookies and good memories!
