Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
These were really good cookies. Keep dough away from small children, or you won't have any to bake the cookies.

These were my Aunt Ruth's favorite cookies and Mama and I used to make them for her and send them to the nursing home where she lives. They also went to her son (Edward) in Vietnam. He would not share these with his friends.
