This recipe was Grandpa Clifford Fowler's
favorite recipe. Always one of the cookies found in the lard canisters
on the back porch and in his lunch box. This makes a very large batch so you
may want to do a partial recipe. This is another recipe that
originated with tin measures. See sugar cookie recipe for more
information. |
