This is my husbands very favorite Christmas time cookie.
We've been married almost 13 years and a lot of things have changed.
One thing that has not... is his love of THIS cookie.
I thought it was time I shared the recipe. It is adapted from a cookbook I got 21 years ago the Christmas just after my high school graduation. I can't believe I even have a cookbook from that long ago. I guess that tells you what kind of a girl I am... and always have been. I love to cook! Anyway.. here you go:
