Personal Notes:
You could always tell how much a recipe was used by the faded colour and worn edges of the clippings taped into Mom’s steno pads. This one was especially telling—smudged, stained, and worn by years of use. These cookies were clearly made with love, and no surprise, they were one of Dad’s favourites.
