Personal Notes:
Hard to imagine how many times we made cookies using this recipe. Taken from the old black cookbook of Mom's, the page where this is located is food splattered and yellow with age. Not sure about baking cookies at 430 degrees, but that is what the recipe says. The 5 of us made these at Christmas and one year we "tripled" the batch.
