Personal Notes:
Eva and Bob Smith were dear friends of the Kittel famly. The cookies are a yummy alternative to traditional sugar cookies. The lemon flavor is very subtle. I roll the top of the cookie ball in red and green sugar and lightly flatten with the bottom of a glass, when I make these at Christmas time. A nice colorful addition to the Christmas cookie tray!
