Description
I always thought the origin of these cookies was germany, and my paternal grandmother set me straight when i asked for the recipe today – it came from aunt katie (who isn't really my aunt, she's my godmother). In any case, here are my most favourite cookies that grandma makes – i'll have to post the rest of the authentic german recipes she gave me years ago as well… She's been making these since i was kneehigh to a grasshopper!
