Personal Notes:
My friend Marlene Peak is a very good cook and made beautiful decorated cookies. I got her recipe and attempted to make them when first married. My dough was too dry and wouldn't roll out. She came to my rescue and I did conquer the task and make these for my grandchildren who occasionally help!
