Notes: This is my grandmother's recipe which I found in my mother's handwritten recipe cards with a little note saying "Eva" (my grandmother's name, Eva Wachtel). I took the liberty of adding the directions (all I had was a list of ingredients) and a bit of vanilla. Of course all the ingredients list said was 'sugar' so I also added 'superfine' as that's what I like to use in my own cookie recipes. You can also add a bit of cinnamon if you like.
When I make them I usually just bake half, wrap the other half of the dough in plastic wrap, seal it in a plastic zip-lock bag and refrigerate until I'm ready for more. It will keep for at least a week in the fridge.
