Personal Notes:
These were my favorite cookies when I lived with Gram and Gumpy. Recipe is from Eastern Star book, contributed by Doris Holden, who was a good friend of Gram's. I remember them as being kind of rectangular in shape as the roll kind of had corners on it. But that didn't change the flavor, they were still good.
