My Grandma spent many hours baking with me all growing up. In fact, to this day the family doesn't get together without some kind of cooking being started or finished. These are my grandma's favorite cookies. She likes them so much that they are made any time of the year not just for a special fall holiday. Yeah for patient people in our lives who take the time to watch us become the people we are meant to be. They are those who helped to nurture us through the dry spells, without obligation to do so. Enjoy her recipe.
