"Excellent recipe. Similar to shortbread but just a bit different. I have made these every year since 1992 for my Christmas goodies. This recipe is from BC Woman to Woman magazine by Mrs M.H. Wilkinson. I give full credit to her as I have not changed a thing. It is excellent the way it is. You get 8 to 10 dozen cookies"
