I hope you and your family and friends find wonderful memories to associate with these wonderful cookies, too.
thepiggs 2 years, 2 months ago said: Borinda After looking at what someone else came up with for bits of translation, I think the pimento in my translation could possibly be allspice. It does sound appropriate, unless spicy for you was something more on the peppery side. Good luck and let us know how it goes.

I remember my grandmother teaching my daughter to count in German but that's pretty much "it" for me by the time we get to five.
I do hope the recipe is one that is similar. It does sound interesting, even if it might not be.
