Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This recipe is a favorite of anyone who has tasted it since I have been making them. I started making these cookies in 1985 or 1986. The recipe is worn and torn because it is such a favorite. I have probably made this recipe 100 times.
Enjoy!

BTW: Please try it as it is written first and then if you want to make substitutions do it. The original is delish!!!
