I love this recipe because we make it religiously every year. It’s a tradition, and it’s a handwritten recipe my grandma created and perfected over the years.
The cookie is the perfect amount of sweetness and comes from the heart. We share lots of memories making these cookies with her and we hope you enjoy this classic holiday treat!
