Personal Notes:
This recipes was from a 1969 Pillsbury Bake Off Cookie Favorites.
I probably starting making these in 1969 Christmas which would have been Ann Marie's first Christmas. Made them almost every year after and it became one of her favorites and requested by her many times. I love these also, the dough is fund to work with and make a delicious cookie.
