We call these Mrs.John Ross Cookies, don't know why. I think it's an old Dutch recipe and they are so good!!! I haven't made any because I can't resist eating them!
Thanks for sharing. Yummy.
I just came across your blog and will be bookmarking it! My mom made these when I was growing up (she's from Austin MN) and now I make them for my own family! They are our absolute favorite cookies for Christmas! We call them Swedish creme wafers!
