"I originally clipped this recipe from an old Good Housekeeping magazine and have been eyeing it for quite some time. I have been wanting to make it, as it sounds wonderful and that it will result in a delicate delicious cookie. I've even had all my ingredients ready last Christmas, and just plain ran out of time. Placing it here for safe keeping so I can access it quickly."
