You guessed it - this recipe came from a neighbor when we lived in Sedalia, MO back in the late 70's. She had 2 hungry little boys and was ALWAYS cookin' up something good - and she loved to share, lucky for us! Read more These became my young daughters favorite cookies, and I must have baked a 100 batches in those days. They're not too hard, not too soft, and just cinnamon-y enough...delish! See less
