Recipe's Story:
This is one of approximately 25 Christmas cookies that my family bakes every year. The cookie exchange tradition was started by my grandmother who was an excellent baker. My mother has continued the tradition and I am now responsible for certain recipes as well (my nemesis – the spritz!)
