I have seen these cookies at many stores and bakeries, tasted these cookies, but never made these cookies. They taste really good, light and crispy, and seem easy to make. Usually I see them around the holidays, but really you could make them any time. I am putting them on my list of things to make. I have also seen them sandwiched together with frosting or cream.

A little known fact about my Grandma Bea is that she had 3 sisters and 1 brother. Her father was a Lutheran Pastor. I had the privilege of knowing her Dad, but not her Mother. He was a wonderful man and father. She admired and loved him so. Her brother was the last one to pass,  just over a year ago.
