This is a recipe I obtained from an estate sale. I obtained it when I purchased the family collection from the Crawford Estate in Quinlan, Texas in 1982

Mmmmmmm... I like how this recipe looks but then I like all the ingredients ;-) This is just a perfect cookie recipe for Autumn. Thank you for sharing!!!


Looks yummy. Only time of the year I bake. I'll give it a try. Thanks.


Mmmmmmmm..sounds yummy


Just made these, last batch is in the oven right now. These are AMAZING! whatever you do, do not omit the lemon extract, it takes the cookies to a whole new level of deliciousness. Will be freezing pumpkin puree so that I can make these all year round.
