Personal Notes:
When I was a child I used to go visit my Grandma Sooy in Havre Montana. She always had four items baked and stored in the freezer ready for our visit: cake donuts, maple sticks, sugar cookies, and orange bow knots. Adding these recipes brings back such fond memories of visiting Grandma!
