Personal Notes:
Annabella Cochran got this recipe for cookies from her friend Marie Fuerstenace in January 1984. Our family didn’t care for their “exotic” taste. Bill Proses looked at the recipe and said, “Peppernuts! These are an old family favorite, ferrernoose.” He loves them. These cookies were his dad’s favorite.

There was no time or temp on the recipe. I would cut down the ingredients. 600 cookies is a bunch of cookies!
