So often the best recipes are those handed down from generation to generation. Today I am publishing my Mother’s go to recipe for cookies. Throughout the years, I have wondered if this was a recipe her Mother might have used. She lost her Mother, my namesake, when she was only 18 years old and it was always a sad subject to bring up in our home. Recipes span lifetimes, they are truly a treasure. Bon Appetit!
