Notes: Leslie, this is the recipe for the cookies your mom and I made for the Saint Barnabas Christmas and Valentine's parties. They were always one of your favorites as well as your class mates. I received this recipe from Bill's Aunt Pat, who had kept it in her Italian Family for years. Ii is a tradition in the Canino family to bake and ice these every Christmas, even to this day. I hope you enjoy!
