This recipe is my grandmother's recipe that my mother and I both love to make. This is by far my favorite cookie. It has become a Christmas tradition in my family. My mom and I have to decide who is going to make it each year. Rolling the sugar can a little messy, but it's fun for older childern to help with because they get to eat the broken pieces and lick the sugar off their fingers. I'm really not sure about the yield of this recipe. :)Recipe has been edited to include the correction that was mentioned by a reviewer :) Ingredients:
