Personal Notes:
John went to high school with Charles Graf. His mother, Hilda was a cookie maker extraordinaire as was Mutz (my mother-in-law). I think they started Christmas cookies right after Thanksgiving. Mutz and Hilda shared many recipes, as they did with me. Hilda and Charles came to our house one Sunday afternoon and we made some of her recipes like this one. Delicate and delicious.
