Hope these help you.

This is the recipe my mother used in the 40's. Hey, Karen in Pensacola, I live near you in Milton. I see we share old family recipes. Yeah.

Jean in Milton, could you please pass on the recipe to me? My mother would also like to have it - I think it's the one she's after. She said it was a simple recipe and didn't require refrigerating the dough. She would have been eating these tasty cookies in the 40's. Can you please pass it on to me?

Thanks!
