Personal Notes:
Ma made these cookies every Christmas and she would decorate them with colored sugar, sprinkles and colored icing. She would send them to parties and always had a container of them on the counter for the holidays. She would make these on a baking day while listening to her collection of Reader's Digest Christmas albums - remember "Christmas in Killarney"? Good memories go with these cookies!
