Just be sure to credit my wife with these cookies. She developed the recipe well over 30 years ago. She was generous and gave the recipe to others. Since then, we've seen the same or similar recipes in cookbooks credited to others. Enjoy the cookies, but give credit where it is due.

(Marcia developed this recipe while she was in high school. They are so tasty and so popular, lots of people asked for the recipe. In the last few years, this recipe has appeared in several widely distributed cookbooks, without being properly attributed. A plate full of these cookies and a big glass of ice-cold milk makes a great snack. Editor)
