This recipe came from my Great Aunt Bessie McEndarfer. She lived in a big, old-fashioned brick house just down the road from my mom and dad in the 1950s. Aunt Bessie had a big family. She was a great cook and all her kids and grandkids remember and crave these cookies. This recipe makes a big batch of cookies which I’m sure Aunt Bessie needed to feed everyone. I’m posting this recipe in memory of a wonderful lady, Great Aunt Bessie.
