Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
This recipe was my go-to on the mission! Each missionary, on his or her birthday, would receive 4 or 5 of these cookies packaged in cello bags. We usually presented them at Zone Conference and sang Happy Birthday as they received the cookies. Sister Lenning, a neighborhood woman who helped cook for big occasions, would make this dough, form it into logs, then freeze it for later use. You might be interested to know that each birthday missionary received a phone call and birthday song from your Dad and I, just like we still do today to each one of you!
