This recipe has been in the family for years. I can't remember a time when Mama or Granny weren't baking these, and Mama says she remembers them from when she was a young teenager (she is now 80). I love these, not only because they are so good, but you can leave them in the refrigerator for several days before you bake them. Read more These are my all time favorite cookies. See less
