Personal Notes:
These cookies are not as easy to make as it looks! Patience is required.

This is the recipe my great-grandmother, Alma Traaseth, used. I remember visiting her in her tidy little home and being greeted with these cookies. It seemed she always had them on hand and they seemed gigantic in my little hand.
