Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
The name Busy Day comes from not needing to bake these treats so they are quick to make on a "busy day". These make their appearance each year around the holidays and one could argue they are more candy than cookie, but either way we all love them. These store great in the freezer as well.

Note of warning: do not attempt to make this recipe when humidity is high or they won't set up.
