Personal Notes:
My grandparents made these cookies for Christmas and then when they passed away, I used to make these with my Mom and Dad. Grandpa"s job was to brush the cookies with the egg white while Grandma and I did the rest. Grandpa and I continued this tradition until he died. I still make these cookies, and think of my Mom and Dad (especially Grandpa because he survived Grandma by 11 years. So the two of us made these cookies together for a long time) but have reduced the amount because this recipe makes a ton of cookies.

The year Grandpa died at the end of September , I did not make these cookies. My oven quit working right after Christmas. I think Grandpa was mad at me for not making the cookies. Andy
