This is a family tradition! My grandmother has made these for all of us for years and we always have them for the holidays. I even remember making them for a care package to send to my Dad on a Navy ship during the Gulf War when I was 10 years old. They are truly special and I hope you enjoy them!
This is a doubled recipe I make on a standard half sheet pan. Score them soon after they cool from the oven. Lots of powdered sugar will make you smile!
